Overview

Guidekin summary

Three hours across Lyon's main monuments with the funicular ride up to Fourvière included, told through the city's stories: capital of the Gauls, the printing trade, the Resistance and the table. It runs as a small group in English; food and drinks are not part of it. 4.98 from 946 reviews for 3h.

From the guide

Plunge into the exciting stories that Lyon hides. Stories, anecdotes and legends that create unforgettable memories - as do its outstanding museums, dynamic cultural life, its past as a France's foremost publishing center, capital of the Three Gauls, and "capitale de la Résistance française"; And last, but not least, all the facts that have turned Lyon into France's gastronomical capital.

During the 3 hours we will spend together, you will linger in the major monuments, but also discover the most awe-inspiring hidden secret places.

The world is a book, and those who do not travel and discover, read only one page.
