Whether you live in the city or fancy a getaway, Lyon always has something new to offer. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, France's food capital blends a unique historic centre, two rivers running through the city and a leisure scene that keeps on growing.
Even if you already know them by sight, these key spots in the city are always worth another visit. From the lanes of Vieux Lyon to the hill of Fourvière, these are places that never lose their appeal, whether you're showing them to a visitor or rediscovering them yourself.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the rest of the historic centre, Vieux Lyon is one of the best-preserved Renaissance districts in Europe, with golden stone façades and inner courtyards hiding genuine architectural gems.
Getting lost in its cobbled streets, between Saint-Jean Cathedral and Rue Saint-Jean, is one of the best ways to feel the city's historic pulse, especially at dusk, when the streetlamps light up the stone.
Affectionately known by locals as "the upside-down Eiffel Tower" for its inverted silhouette, the Basilica of Fourvière crowns a hill overlooking the whole city, with golden mosaics that shine in the sun.
Climbing up there, whether on foot via the picturesque staircases or on the historic funicular, offers one of the most complete panoramic views over Lyon, with both rivers and the Alps in the background on clear days.
These covered passageways cutting through buildings from courtyard to courtyard are one of Lyon's most unique quirks, originally created to help transport silk while protecting it from the rain.
Exploring some of the 300-plus traboules still preserved today, many of them freely accessible, feels like travelling back in time through the city's most secret corners, away from the main streets.
Located between the Rhône and the Saône, the Presqu'île is Lyon's commercial and cultural heart, with Place des Terreaux, its monumental town hall and the Fine Arts Museum as the main landmarks.
Its pedestrian streets, full of shops and terraces, connect to Place Bellecour, one of the largest pedestrian squares in Europe, ideal for wandering without a fixed destination.
A former hospital that operated for more than eight centuries, the Hôtel-Dieu is today an imposing building converted into a shopping and cultural centre, with its Grand Dôme and neoclassical façade overlooking the Rhône.
The guided tour lets you discover the history of this iconic Lyon building, which blends historic architecture with contemporary dining and leisure spaces.
This covered market, named after the legendary Lyon chef, brings together the city's best food artisans: renowned cheesemongers, delicatessens, bakers and pastry chefs all under one roof.
Strolling among its stalls, tasting quenelles, pink praline or local cheeses, is an essential stop to understand why Lyon is considered France's food capital.
Spanning 117 hectares, it's one of the largest urban parks in France, with a navigable lake, a botanical garden and a free zoo with giraffes, lions and other animals in a well-kept setting.
It's Lyon's ultimate green lung, perfect for walking, renting a bike, or simply relaxing by the lake at any time of year.
Known as "the hill that works", in contrast to Fourvière, "the hill that prays", La Croix-Rousse was the heart of Lyon's silk industry, with weavers' workshops known as canuts.
Its steep streets, giant murals and daily market reflect a bohemian, authentic atmosphere, quite different from the rest of the historic centre.
Funbooker hand-picks experiences for people who already know the city and want something different for the weekend, or simply want to surprise a visitor. Ideas for rediscovering Lyon from another angle.
