The 10 Best Things to do in Vieux Lyon - Quarantaine, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lyon has 2,000 years of history imprinted on its streets (yes, the cobblestone kind). Explore this history in Vieux Lyon (one of Europe's most extensive Renaissance neighborhoods) and Lyon's two Roman amphitheatres, which still stage rock concerts today. It's no wonder Lyon is a popular area for travelers, with its dynamic university, first-class shopping, antique markets, vibrant theatre and music festivals, and a range of interesting museums, such as the International Puppet Museum and the Museum of Miniatures and Film Sets. (When we say "interesting," we mean it.)

I love old churches. The stained glass , astronomical clock, and the statue of Christ by the altar are all worthy of a stop on your meandering walk through Lyon.

Reviewed By Solarbearz
We recently visited Lyon with a Viking cruise, and stayed for several days in Lyon at its conclusion. During a Viking walking tour in the Old Town with a local guide, the guide mentioned that we would be going through one of the travoules of the city. That was a new thing for me, never having heard of them before. They are not accessible to visitors walking on their own in Lyon, so I was glad that we were with guides to get the history of the traboules and to be able to visit one. Fascinating history and an insight into the lives of the Lyonnais residents of the past. As the only way into them is with a guide, it is worth it to book a tour that includes at least one of them.

9. Montee du Gourguillon
10. Eglise Saint-Just
