Things to do in Lyon, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes: The Best Sights & Landmarks

November 11, 2021 Myesha Cogley

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.)

Nice Gothic church in the heart of the old district. Some interesting facts about the clock on the outside wall - find your guide book and take time to look it up.

This was a treat. We ended up here looking for somewhere else. Sat on one of the benches & just took in the atmosphere on a Monday morning- quiet & peaceful surrounded by beautiful buildings. Just watch the world go by.

Eglise Saint-Bonaventure

Reviewed By 750dimitrisl - Sydney, Australia

Built in the early 14th century Eglise Saint-Bonaventure is a remarkable church. We love beautiful buildings and this is one such building. The stained glass windows are just stunning. The interior of the whole church is magnificent. We paid it a quick visit but would return if we had the time.
