Lyon Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

[Europe][France] Traboules, food, and the Little Prince in Lyon

There are a lot to see and eat in Lyon. I encountered racist acts unfortunately and that made the trip less enjoyable. Despite the unpleasant experience, I do find the city itself looks beautiful.

Love of Lyon

Lyon is one of the best cities to visit in France. The food people and architecture will inspire you. although generally safer than Paris you should still be mindful of your surroundings. Just walking down the old streets, having some food, or smoking a cigarette will make you feel like a local. Definitely try to go to some old catholic churches, but if not don’t worry too much. #lyon

A must see landmark in Lyon 🇫🇷⛪️🔔

#timetotravel The Basilica is located on the Fouvrière hill, overlooking Lyon and there are 3 ways to get there: 1) To take the tram from Vieux Lyon to Fourvière 2) Hike (~18 mins on foot) 3) By car (~4 mins) I took the 1st option going up and the 2nd option down. I would definitely recommend taking the tram because the tram itself is another attraction in lyon (much like the peak tram in HK). The Basilica is a majestic architecture with both outstanding interior and exterior design. It is definitely worth visiting. #lyon #france #境外遊

Beautiful church in Lyon

Highly recommend visiting this beautiful church when in Lyon. Sitting atop a hill overlooking Lyon, the views are unparalleled. Getting There - Take the funicular from central Lyon up

Lyon, France, can finish the city in one day, if only passing by. has a special recommendation

The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvire is a Catholic sub-temple in Lyon, France. Combining Romanesque and Byzantine architecture, I chose two non-gothic designs that were unusual at the time. With exquisite mosaics, superb window panes, and St. Joseph's basement, it gives me a powerful visual shock. Whether it's murals, glass, domes and columns, everything is intricately crafted. The Notre Dame de Fourviere actually contains two churches. The church is very gorgeous, and the church is very simple. Overlooking the Lyon peninsula on the top of the Riviera, the Rhone River and the Sane River meet here. It is a very good view point. It is recommended to climb up to overlook the charm of Lyon, the night is quite beautiful, the whole mountain There are lights, golden light and river water.

Two museums into one

Ticket rate: 9.5 Euro for adults This is like attending two museum in one building: cinema and miniature! for the cinema part, we can take a look on what happened behind the movie screen from 1960s until now. The museum provided legendary film sets, costumes, masks, animatronics, whatever tangible created for the sole purpose of their movie. They have informations provided in english so do not worry if you dont speak any french! #cultural #movie #history

My favorite museum in the WORLD

This is a different museum unlike any other: there is all the REAL clothes and accessories used in the most famous movies in the world. From “X-men” to “Harry Potter”, the museum has unique pieces from movies, tv-series and theater. It’s is located in Lyon, France and you can find it by typing “Musée Cinéma et Miniature” on google. 👏🏻 It’s completely worth the visit! It’s like being inside a movie. Go and discover by yourself! #museumquest#urbanexplorer

Shot from the Basilica de Notre Dame

From this spot you can see almost the entire city of Lyon. I really love this city, it seems quite big but warm at the same time. More pics coming up….

The old town of Lyon, at the foot of the Fourviere Mountains, still retains the old French architecture from the 15th to the 17th centuries. It runs through the ancient and narrow stone street, slowly strolling through the streets of various boutique shops or stopping to sit on the road. Drink coffee at the side cafe and experience the life of the French in the 15th century. Walk in the fertile grounds of the city, pass the Lyon city hall, or step onto the stone staircase in the old town to climb the Fourviere hills and overlook the city of Lyon, visit the castle-like church of Our Lady of Fourviere. In the ancient Roman theater, Lyon is a historic and tasteful city worth a visit.

On the second day of the old lady's solo adventure in Europe, she strolled around Lyon for eight hours

2/21 Lyon CITY WALK day tour, eight hours, 26,500 steps. ⭐Lyon is one of the oldest cities in France. The main urban area is divided into three major parts: the Fourvière Hill on the west side, the old town located on the peninsula between the Rhône and Saône rivers, and the new town area mainly concentrated in the east. ⭐Walking path: Rhône River - Old Town of Lyon - Saône River - Bellecour Square - Lyon Cathedral - Miniature Museum of Cinema - Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière - City Hall Square - Murals of the People of Lyon - Vieux Lyon. ⭐The old town of Lyon is not large, with narrow streets and few pedestrians, very quiet. Lyon has little greenery, apart from the ancient buildings, art, and historical and cultural relics, as well as the two rivers, there are no natural landscapes. Bellecour and other squares are all paved with sand and soil; if there is a strong wind, will it blow up these yellow soils into the sky. ⭐After walking for a day, I particularly liked the Lyon Cathedral and the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, admiring their grandeur and exquisite architecture, as well as the atmosphere inside. ⭐Lyon Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Saint John, began construction in the 12th century on the ruins of a 6th-century church, and after three centuries, was completed in 1476. It is the most majestic church in Lyon. ⭐The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière was built in the 19th century, located on the Fourvière Hill to the west of the cathedral, and is a landmark building of Lyon. Climbing up Fourvière Hill, you can not only visit the Basilica but also overlook the entire city of Lyon. ⭐The overall architecture of Lyon is low and antique, around six stories, with brick-red roofs, uniform in color and height. A few towering modern buildings are located near the Part-Dieu train station. A quiet Lyon, a day's tour is enough. ⭐You can use a credit card on Lyon's buses, which is very convenient. Yesterday, at the bus stop outside the train station, I asked the attendant how to buy a ticket, and for some reason, the attendant said that you can't use a bank card or cash on the bus, and kindly took me to a small shop across the street to buy a ticket. The bus fare is 2 euros, and the shop charges 2.2, with about a 10% handling fee. Today I only took the bus once, the rest was all solid CITY WALK. If you need to take the bus more than four times, buy a day pass, 24 hours for 6.5 euros, which is relatively more cost-effective, and it is said that the day pass can only be bought at the subway station.
