I had a lot of fun learning about the sights and attractions that Lyon has to offer. The pass was enough, but there were so many places I wanted to see that I couldn't keep up with my physical strength, so I'd like to visit again!

I recommend getting the Lyon City Card if you want to stay 2/3 days, so as not to pay for travel and cultural visits to museums and associations. Very helpful!

easy to get on train , remember to ask guard, and contact directly to prebook tours and boat

WITH ONLY ONE CARD, all free transport and many museums, it was great!

Very interesting guided tour. Beautiful architecture of the city.
