Lyon Transport

Both the centre of Lyon (the peninsula or Presquile) and the city’s old town (Vieux Lyon) have a compact layout and can easily be explored on foot. However you will without a doubt need to make use of public transport for some of the other attractions. Being such a large city Lyon has an extensive public transport network comprising metro trains, trams, buses and a funicular which transports passengers up and down one of Lyons two hills namely the Fourviere hill. All tickets and carnets can be purchased at their individual stations from vending machines as well as from the two main railway stations: Lyon Part Dieu and Lyon Perrache. The Lyon City Card offers unlimited travel on the entire public transport network as well as admission to many of the city’s attractions.
