As one of the few urban centres to be accredited as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lyon is a truly rewarding destination. Head to Fouriviere Hill from your accommodation in Lyon before making your way down through the city taking in the many sights along the way - from the Renaissance architecture and traboules (covered passageways) of Vieux (Old) Lyon to the Museum of Fine Arts and exclusive boutiques of the Presqu’ile area – before heading back to your Lyon accommodation for a well earned rest.
Lyon is one of the most important economic centres not just of France but of Europe too. The headquarters of many international companies and organisations are based in the city and your accommodation in Lyon puts you in the heart of the action. Corporate travellers can feel at ease when visiting the city as Lyon serviced accommodation feels like your home away from home.
Dubbed the gastronomic capital of France, bar Paris, there are more Michelin-starred restaurants and famous chefs in Lyon than anywhere else in the country.

Sightseeing
Visiting Lyon isn’t just about sampling the delicious treats on offer, there is much more to see and do:
• Vieux Lyon (Old Lyon) – set on the right bank of the River Saône, this area is home to the largest display of Renaissance architecture in France. Discover the traboules, the covered passageways built in the 15th century as short cuts.
• Fouriviere Hill – “the hill that prays” – one of two hills in the city. So called because of the abundance of churches and religious institutions located on the hill. Fourvière basilica offers some of the best views over the city.
• Croix Rousse – “the hill that works” – the second hill in the city. The main silk production area of the city, the hill is home to some examples of unique architecture.
Getting Around
The city centre is fairly compact with the major sights and attractions within easy walking distance of each other. However, the transport system in Lyon is considered to be one of the best in France.
• Metro – an easy and efficient way to get around Lyon with four lines (A,B,C and D) and 40 stations around the city.
• Bus – over 100 routes can take you to almost anywhere.
• Tram – four tram lines operate in the city. Best used for the suburban areas.
• Bicycle – there are a number of safe cycling routes around the city. Use the public bike service Vélo’v which allows you to hire and drop off bicycles at 300 points around the city.
Eat/Drink
It’s hard to know where to begin in sampling the gastronomic delights Lyon has to offer. Here are a few choice examples of the local specialities:
• Coq au Vin – rooster cooked with wine, lardons, mushrooms and sometimes garlic.
• Salade Lyonnaise – lettuce with bacon, croutons and a poached egg.
• Marrons Glacés – a type of confectionary – chestnuts candied in sugar and glazed.
• Andouilette – course grained smoked tripe sausage made usually with pork, pepper, wine and onions.
• Mâchons – morning snacks made up of local Charcuterie and usually served with a glass of red Beaujoulais wine.
