Travel to Lyon

Landing in Lyon soon? Here's what to know before you go.

From currency and getting around to hidden Renaissance passageways, hilltop basilicas, and its legendary reputation as the absolute gastronomic capital of France, we've got the essentials covered for your trip.

Language & Currency

Official language French French is official. English is widely spoken in hotels, popular museums, and central dining establishments, though locals highly appreciate a polite "Bonjour" or "Merci"
Payments Euro (€) Credit and debit cards are standard and accepted almost everywhere. Keep a small amount of physical cash for buying a quick pastry or visiting traditional open-air markets

Getting Around

Fastest TCL Metro & Funiculars The TCL network is exceptionally clean and efficient. Use the historic funiculars ("Ficelles") to glide effortlessly up the steep slopes of Fourvière and Croix-Rousse.
Also popular Vélo'v Bikes & Trams Lyon's Vélo'v bike-sharing scheme is highly popular, with flat cycling paths running along the Rhône and Saône riverbanks. Sleek city trams provide convenient access to the newer business districts.

Top Attractions

Notre-Dame de Fourvière The majestic 19th-century white basilica overlooking the city from Fourvière Hill, featuring magnificent, intricate gold mosaics inside.
Vieux Lyon & The Traboules One of Europe's largest Renaissance districts, famous for its "traboules"—hidden pedestrian passageways that wind through historic buildings and courtyards.
La Presqu'île & Place Bellecour The narrow strip of land between the two rivers, hosting majestic 19th-century plazas, main shopping boulevards, and the grand Lyon Opera House

Events & Dining

December 8 – 11 Fête des Lumières (Festival of Lights) The city's most famous celebration. Millions of locals place small candles on windowsills while world-class light artists project stunning displays on historic facades
Culinary Tradition The Bouchon Lyonnais To eat authentically, look for a certified "Bouchon"—a cozy, traditional bistro serving classic local specialties such as Lyonnaise salad, quenelles (fish dumplings), and regional red wines.
Year-Round Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse Indulge your senses in the city's legendary indoor food market, packed with stalls selling exceptional French cheeses, charcuterie, and gourmet chocolates
