Lyon Vacations, Lyon Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

Lyon is a beautiful city situated 2 hours from Paris via TGV. In Lyon, be prepared to get charmed by its vast mountains, eclectic mix of modern and ancient architecture, and its HUGE gastronomic history.

Walking down the streets of Lyon is a pleasant experience with its scarce traffic, clean streets, and inviting chocolateries. The city is also great for shopping. Along Le fleuve du Rhone, there is a long stretch of steps and cute wading pools for people to chill and relax while enjoying the beauty of nature.

Being a popular student city, there are many affordable eateries and great nightlife. Lyon is also relatively a safe city if you would like to hang out on the streets in the night.

Lyon boasts of probably the best transportation system available in France. Metros, taxis, trams, buses, and bicycle kiosks have all been well established and there is always an option or two to get anywhere.

Some of the must-see attractions are the Tete D'or Park, Fourviere, Vieux Lyon, and the Rivers called Fleuve (le Rhone and la Saone with an island called presqu'ile, very lively).
