Things to do
If it's old and in Lyon, it's worth seeing
There's nowhere that better exemplifies Lyon's old-world charm than the charming Quartier Saint-Jean. This medieval quarter is filled with narrow cobblestone lanes and quaint little courtyards. Across the Saone river is the magnificent 19th-century Opera de Lyon. An absolute must for culture vultures, it presents a wide variety of opera productions, as well as classical music concerts. Another must-see is the Museum of Archaeology, which displays Gallo-Roman-era objects including vases, gravestones, and mosaics, plus statues, coins, and ceramics. The museum also includes a nearby archaeology site that boasts the oldest ancient ruins in France, including 2 Roman theaters.
Activities
Lyon—where getting lost is a good thing
Ever since it was founded by the Romans in 43 BCE, Lyon has been a very important city. In the Historic Site of Lyons, you'll discover narrow passageways that pass through buildings, as well as many of the city's most notable sites, including the Hotel-Dieu de Lyon, medieval Lyon Cathedral, and Place Bellecour, Europe's largest open square. In the Presqu-ile (the peninsula between the Rhone and Saone rivers), you can explore a warren of medieval streets, shop in the city's best boutiques, or try the world-famous Lyonnais cuisine in a host of delightful brasseries.
