Nestled in the heart of France, Lyon is known as the country's culinary capital. This city brims with life and a wealth of attractions waiting to be explored. While it ranks among France's most significant urban centers, two days are often sufficient to take in its many offerings.
Lyon's unique charm stems from being traversed by two winding rivers, which bestow upon it a distinct allure. Multiple bridges gracefully connect the city's three main districts: the historic Old Town (Vieux Lyon), the peninsula known as Presqu'île, and the riverbanks on the right bank of the Rhône.
For a short stay, it's advisable to choose accommodations as centrally located as possible, ensuring easy access to the city's primary points of interest. While Lyon is mostly walkable, do keep in mind that it encompasses several hilly areas, particularly the Fourvière Hill. For those less inclined to undertake the uphill journey on foot, there's a cable car service available to ascend the heights.
Should you wish to extend your journey, Lyon harmoniously pairs with other destinations such as Paris, Dijon (and the Burgundy region), Geneva, and Annecy. Dive into this vibrant city where culinary expertise meets rich heritage, this city is a captivating blend of historical landmarks, vibrant neighborhoods, and a thriving cultural scene.
Please note that I'm offering this guide for free, so any tip is appreciated. Another way to support my work is by booking your accommodation via this guide, there's no extra cost for you and helps me a lot to continue creating guides like this. If you are interested in making a trip combining some other interesting cities in France, give me a call I can certainly help you plan it.

A little bit more about myself:
I was born in Paris and lived in Lyon for most of my life, I have always loved travelling and got into hiking / road tripping in my home country during the COVId-19 pandemic as travelling out of the country was more difficult and riskier, I got to discover many stunning places I may have never been to without a global pandemic forcing me to visit more of my own country ^^
Through these guides, I want to encourage you to explore France's hidden gems & most beautiful locations.
TIP: If you wish to get a sense of where these locations are relative to major cities like Paris, Lyon & Marseille, make sure to use the map feature!
I hope these guides will be useful and inspire you to explore more of the country.

Your free & paid guides for Denmark, all in one place.
A little bit more about myself:
I'm French and spent most of my life between France and the UK. I have always loved travelling and started visiting European capital cities during Uni. In 2019 I did a bus trip to Central and Northern Europe only taking night buses for a week (Lyon - Prague - Copenhagen - Berlin - Munich - Lyon) and fell in love with Copenhagen. I came back to Copenhagen 3 years later in 2022 to get married with my now husband so Copenhagen holds a very special place in our hearts.
Through these guides, I want to encourage you to explore Denmark's hidden gems & most beautiful locations.
TIP: If you wish to get a sense of where these locations are relative to Copenhagen, make sure to use the map feature!
I hope these guides will be useful and inspire you to explore more of the country.
