Wander through narrow streets that open onto the vast Place Bellecour or duck into the ornate Lyon Cathedral. Fashionistas can shop high-end boutiques along Rue du Président Édouard Herriot while culture vultures explore the Textile Museum and Lyon Opera.

Old Lyon

Old Lyon's Renaissance splendour comes alive in a maze of hidden traboules and honey-colored buildings. The Gothic cathedral stands watch over narrow cobblestone streets where traditional bouchons serve up authentic Lyonnais cuisine. Explore museums showcasing everything from intricate miniatures to the famous Guignol puppets, or simply wander courtyards dating back to the 15th century. Most of this UNESCO district is blissfully pedestrian-only, making it perfect for leisurely exploration. Stay in boutique hotels housed in historic buildings with exposed beams and stone walls. The Saône River offers scenic paths just steps away, while Vieux Lyon metro station connects you to the rest of the city.

La Croix Rousse

La Croix Rousse wears Lyon's silk-weaving history like a badge of honour. Explore the Maison des Canuts museum or wander through hidden traboules - those secret passageways connecting charming courtyards. The area buzzes with creative energy, from colourful street murals to the lively market where locals shop for fresh produce. Artists have claimed this hillside as their own, filling it with workshops and alternative boutiques. Getting around might challenge your calves, but those steep cobblestone streets reward you with amazing city views. Cosy wine bars and authentic bouchons serve traditional Lyonnais cuisine when you need to refuel. The Metro Line C and funicular railway make it easy to connect with the rest of Lyon when you're ready to explore.

Between the Rhône and Saône rivers, Lyon's old town reveals traboules - secret passageways once used by silk merchants. The Museum of Fine Arts houses treasures in a former abbey, while Lyon National Opera dazzles in a modernist glass dome. At Les Halles food market, sample pink praline tarts and Beaujolais from nearby vineyards. The hilltop Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière offers panoramic views worth the climb. Discover Roman ruins at Lugdunum before dining in a traditional bouchon where chefs transform simple ingredients into culinary art.
