About Lyon
Lyon is a pretty city at the junction between the Rhône and the Saône rivers that is noted for its rich history. Several eras are depicted in Lyon’s architecture, from the Roman amphitheater to the medieval and Renaissance architecture decorating the heart of Lyon’s old town (Vieux Lyon). Even modern architecture is represented in the Confluence district, with the Musée des Confluences being a notable example.
Lyon is a must-stop on your cultural tour of Europe. Don’t miss the Beaux-Arts Museum, which is sometimes called “the little Louvre”, the imposing Basilica of Notre Dame of Fourvière or the glorious urban park at Parc de la Tête d’Or. With so much to see, it’s no surprise that it was named the European Capital of Culture in 2013!
One of the best times to visit Lyon is during the Festival of Lights, which takes place every year in December.
