About Lyon

Lyon is a vibrant, easy-to-explore city in southeast France, known for its history, culture and, famously, its food. It sits at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers and has a UNESCO-listed historic centre that’s perfect for wandering on foot.

Highlights include:

  • Old Lyon (Vieux Lyon) and the traboules: narrow Renaissance-era streets, hidden passageways, and gothic staircases.

  • Fourvière and its basilica: panoramic views over the city, plus Roman ruins and theatres nearby.

  • Presqu’île and Bellecour: the “golden triangle” of shopping, restaurants, and elegant architecture between the two rivers.

  • Croix-Rousse and the silk heritage: a bohemian quarter with steep lanes, markets, and a nod to Lyon’s historic silk industry.

Museums and culture:

  • Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon (France’s second-biggest art museum after the Louvre).

  • Musée Gadagne (Lyon history and culture) and other specialized museums.

  • Confluence district (modern architecture and shopping near the river).

Gastronomy: Lyon is widely regarded as the “capital of gastronomy.”

  • Traditional bouchons (authentic Lyonnaise cuisine).

  • Les Halles de Lyon-Paul Bocuse (vibrant market with fresh produce and local specialties).

  • Dishes to try: quenelles, gratin dauphinois, cervelle de canut, and saucisson.

Parks and views:

  • Parc de la Tête d’Or (large park, lake and zoo) and great riverfront walks along the Rhône and Saône.
