Money-Saving Hacks You Can't Miss When Traveling to Lyon
During my three-day trip to Lyon this time, I bought a City Card (Lyon City Transport Card), which includes unlimited rides on urban public transport (metro, buses, trams), as well as tickets to over 20 major attractions. It even allows you to experience the characteristic sightseeing cruises and in-depth guided tours (you need to book the experiences in advance at the tourist center on Place Bellecour).❤️ Depending on the validity period, it is divided into 1-day card (24 hours), 2-day card (48 hours), 3-day card (72 hours) and 4-day card (96 hours). The validity period starts from the first use, and the prices range from 29 euros to 59 euros. For details, you can check and purchase on the official website.😁 This time, I bought a 48-hour City Card, and coincided with the Lyon Biennale (September 21, 2024 to January 5, 2025). I could also visit multiple venues with this card (don't lose the ticket you get when you first enter the Biennale venue!! Because you need to show it later!).🤣 With the City Card, you can take a sightseeing cruise and enjoy the natural and cultural landscapes on both banks of the Saône River. The gentle breeze on the river, the ancient buildings passing by, and the stories behind them told by the guide make the cruise a relaxing and informative experience.💕 It also covers entry to Musee Des Conflences (Confluence Museum), where you can explore the fascinating blend of science and culture. The Gallo Roman Museum, with its rich collection of ancient relics, offers a glimpse into Lyon's distant past. The Fine Arts Museum, home to countless masterpieces, is a must-visit for art lovers, and with the City Card, you can wander through its halls without worrying about extra costs.😊 The Cite Internationale de La Gastronomie (International City of Gastronomy) during the Biennale is a paradise for food enthusiasts, and the card lets you dive into the world of Lyon's culinary heritage. The Mac-Mondern Art Museum showcases cutting-edge artworks, adding a contemporary touch to your trip.👌 Le Musee de Fouvière (Fourvière Museum) and Cathedrale Saint-Jean Baptiste (Saint John the Baptist Cathedral) are also included, allowing you to immerse yourself in the city's religious and architectural history. In addition, it is recommended to collect the physical card at the following two addresses: The tourist center on Place Bellecour in the urban area (open daily from 9:00-18:00)😍 The reception desk on the 0th floor of Westfield shopping mall near the urban railway station (Monday to Saturday 9:30-20:00; Sunday 10:00-20:00) The City Card is truly a cost-effective choice for traveling in Lyon. It not only saves you the trouble of buying separate tickets for transportation and attractions but also helps you save a considerable amount of money. Whether you're a history buff, an art lover, or a foodie, this card ensures you can make the most of your time in Lyon without breaking the bank.😍 #EuropeanTravel #France #FranceTravel #Lyon #LyonTravel #TransportCard #MoneySavingTips #LyonBiennale #Biennale
