Sightseeing
The highest point in Lyon, with the greatest view of the city (even of Mont Blanc!), is a great way to start your day. We recommend the short metro ride up & walking down the hill through Vieux Lyon.

The museum sits on Place des Terreaux, our favorite place to grab a midday coffee or glass of wine. The museum is good, but the highlight is the fountained terrace outside. Perfect for peoplewatching!

The oldest part of the city, this neighborhood is perfect for meandering around in the afternoon. Treat yourself to a crepe and explore the "traboules" (passageways) and local toy and gift shops.

This museum has two parts: one for Lyon history and another about Guignol and the famous Lyonnais puppetry. We love the temporary exhibit about Lyon gastronomy. Visit here before eating at a bouchon!

Any traveler in Lyon MUST eat at a "bouchon" (a restaurant that serves traditional Lyon food). Most of the bouchons on Rue Mercière or Rue des Marronniers are good but Le Musée is one we love!

One of the best places to find a "bouchon" - a restaurant that serves traditional Lyonnais food. A simple "pot de Cote de Rhone" is always the right wine choice - ask us for our menu recommendations!
