How to get the most out of your trip to Lyon

Start your day in Vieux Lyon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where cobblestone lanes and centuries-old façades lead you through hidden traboules – secret passageways once used by silk merchants. Take the funicular or climb the winding streets to the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, whose ornate interior and panoramic terrace offer sweeping views over the city’s red rooftops. .
- What are some local tips? Mornings are perfect for browsing Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse, where you can sample cheeses, charcuterie and pastries from local artisans. For an authentic dining experience, seek out a traditional bouchon tucked away in side streets. Wherever you go, keep an eye out for Lyon’s painted murs (murals), which tell stories of the city’s history and culture in vibrant detail.
- What food should I try in Lyon?: A local favorite to try is quenelles de brochet, delicate dumplings made with pike fish, eggs, and flour, baked in a creamy sauce. You can also try lighter specialties such as cervelle de canut—a creamy cheese spread with herbs, Lyonnaise potatoes or praline tart for dessert. Pair your meals with wines from Beaujolais or the Côtes du Rhône for a taste of the region’s full culinary heritage.
