The city teems with museums from the Musée des Confluences, to the Musée d’art contemporain, not forgetting the Musée de la Résistance and the Institut Lumière, where you can lose yourself in the history and heritage of this wonderful city.
Life in Lyon is also punctuated by more than 21,000 cultural events throughout the year (exhibitions, concerts, plays, festivals, etc.) including major international events like the Festival Lumière, the Biennale de la danse, the Biennale d’art contemporain, the Nuits Sonores and the unmissable Fête des Lumières. Or you could simply just go for an enjoyable stroll through the historic parts of town, such as Vieux Lyon with its “secret” passageways, the traboules, the slopes of Croix-Rousse, or perhaps Fourvière with its breathtaking views… Lyon is a historical city that has been on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1998, making it the second-most important Renaissance site in Europe, after Venice.
And lastly, one of the city’s greatest claims to fame: food! Proudly bearing the title of the world capital of gastronomy, Lyon has a huge number of typical restaurants and brasseries, the bouchons lyonnais, where you can enjoy grattons (crackling), quenelles (dumplings) or the region’s cheeses and cooked meats.
