"FREE Entrance - Open daily from May to September (8 am to 7 pm).
The park is located on Fourvière hill in Lyon's 5th district and offers panoramic views of the city's skyline, it almost feels like you're right on top of the city.
If you're lucky you'll even see the Alps on the background ✨
📍The entrance is located at the back of a car park (a bit hidden!).
How to get there:
🥾You can walk up from the old town (about 15-20 min) - it's a bit of a work out as it's mostly stairs to get up the hill.
🚍 You can also take the C20 bus from St Alexandre Bus Stop at Place Bellecour (the red square). It only costs 2€ to take the bus if you pay for it in advance.
✨The most scenic & picturesque way to get there though (and our favorite way if we're being honest) is to take the funicular railway from the Old Town metro station to St-Just station or Fourvière station. Is just takes a few minute to get there and a few more minutes to walk to the park a little further down the slope. Bus tickets are valid on the funicular.
🚘 If you wish to drive to the park, there's a public car park located right before the Park's entrance (parking fees may apply). "
