What you can expect

Begin your walking tour at Place des Terreaux, meeting in front of the Bartholdi Fountain. Admire the impressive Hôtel de Ville before heading to Croix-Rousse. Known for its silk-weaving heritage, this district offers hidden traboules and stunning views while discovering Lyon’s fascinating past.

Next, descend to Presqu'île to see the Fresque des Lyonnais, a mural celebrating Lyon's famous figures. Snap some photos and hear the stories behind some of the city's most notable residents.

Then, continue to Vieux Lyon, the Renaissance district, with its beautiful architecture, cobblestone streets, and hidden traboules. Along the way, dive into Lyon’s culinary culture, including its traditional cuisine and famous bouchons.

The tour ends in the heart of the Old Town, making it easy to continue exploring at your own pace. Stay for a meal at a traditional bouchon, wander the charming streets, or climb up to the Basilica of Fourvière for one of the city's best panoramic views.

Throughout the tour, expect street art, fun facts, engaging stories, and plenty of local recommendations for restaurants, cafés, and hidden gems to help you make the most of your time in Lyon.
