Lyon Hotels

Lyon is the capital of the Rhone department in France. The perfect place to start exploring Lyon attractions is Vieux Lyon, the renaissance neighborhood on the banks of the Saône River. Here, you can find the St. Paul, St. Jean, and St. Georges neighborhoods, with their respective churches and unique vibes. Visitors also should not miss top museums like the Museum of Fine Arts, the Miniature Museum and Theater, the Gadagne Museum, and the Tony Garnier Urban Museum.

Once you have had the time to marvel at these exhibits, don’t miss the different neighborhoods and architecture throughout the city. Guests at Lyon hotels can visit the La Maison des Canuts, a 19th century mansion dedicated to silk history, the Fourvière Basilica and the view from the top, and the Church of St. Irenaeus. Plus, hang out in the Presqu’île district to see architecture from the 12th century, or head to États-Unis and the Gratte-Ciel neighborhoods.

Later, have a picnic in one of the city’s parks or find favorite local treats at the Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse food stalls and have a drink on Place Sathonay. Plus, catch a show at the Roman Theatre of Fourvière and enjoy nightlight in Lyon’s vibrant districts.
