🇫🇷 A Little Trip to Lyon | Complete Guide to Transportation

After staying in Paris for a long time, I suddenly wanted to escape the big city pace and spend a few days relaxing somewhere charming and not too far away. So I chose the gastronomy capital—Lyon! 🥐 🗺️【Must-Visit Attractions】 ✨ Place Bellecour (Bellecour Square) France’s second-largest square and a downtown landmark 🏛️ ✨ Hôtel de Ville (City Hall) A stunning historic building worth a photo stop 📸 ✨ Vieux Lyon (Old Town) Medieval vibes with countless alleys and cute boutiques! Don’t miss the traboules (secret passageways)—they’ll show you the city’s quirky side 🔮 ✨ Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourvière Take the funicular up the hill for panoramic views of Lyon! The basilica itself is incredibly intricate ⛪️ ✨ Mur des Canuts & Fresque des Lyonnais (Lyon Murals) Giant wall paintings—perfect for Instagram-worthy shots 🎨 ✨ Musée Miniature et Cinéma (Miniature & Cinema Museum) Fascinating props and miniatures—a must for movie buffs 🎬 🏨【Accommodation】 I stayed in an Airbnb near Vieux Lyon—such a cute French-style alley, and safe for evening walks 🌙 Avoid staying near the Guillotière neighborhood—it’s really unsafe! 🚄【Transportation】 From Paris to Lyon, the TGV high-speed train is your best bet—only about 2 hours! 🚇 For city transport, buy tickets at self-service TCL machines (no need to queue for staff)! Opt for a 24h pass: €7.1 (including card fee) for unlimited metro, tram, and bus rides 🚌 💁 There are also 48h/72h passes—choose based on your schedule! 🍽️【Food Guide】 You can’t visit Lyon without eating well!
