Accepted Answer

The Lyon-Saint Exupéry airport offers a couple of options: tram or taxi.

Otherwise, you can hail a cab, which will cost more can get you door to door with zero stress.

Question 2

What's the third largest city in France?

Accepted Answer

Lyon is the third-largest city in the country, covering over 47.87 square kilometres and housing a metropolitan population of more than two million people. Marseille follows Paris as the second-largest city in France.

Question 3

Is Lyon expensive?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Though cheaper to visit than Paris, it's still located in a part of Europe with higher average living costs and is known for its higher-end vacation spots. That places Lyon in the top 36% of the most expensive cities in the world. But don't worry, it can still be an affordable and enjoyable city break if you play your cards right.

For example, you can visit in the off-season months of April to May and September to October, when direct easyJet flights to Lyon are at their cheapest and fewer tourists are in the city to raise prices. You can also purchase a Lyon City Card, which provides free airport transfers and public transport as well as access to various museums and activities within the city. And if you want to sample the city's cuisine, eating dinner early means you can avail yourself of early bird discounts many of Lyon's restaurants offer.

Question 4

What's Lyon most known for?

Accepted Answer

Lyon is most known for being the food capital of France, a country already renowned worldwide for its gastronomical achievements. However, the city is famous for its unique Lyonnaise cuisine. The city is popular for turning the ingredients from its various food markets into multiple signature meals, including Salade Lyonnaise, quenelles de brochet (pike dumplings), and famous desserts like praline tarts. Lyon is even the birthplace of celebrated French chef Paul Bocuse and boasts more than 20 Michelin-starred restaurants! Feel free to dine at any of them yourself, or head to the city in June to indulge in the Lyon Street Food Festival.

Question 5

How many days in Lyon is enough?

Accepted Answer

Three days is the perfect time to explore this French city. You can use your first 24 hours to stop by all of the major attractions in the Renaissance district, Vieux-Lyon, including interesting spots like the Museum of World Puppets and the city's 'traboules' (hidden passageways). An easyJet holiday to Lyon offers a few fun ways you can do so by foot, electric bike, and self-standing scooter, with some guided tours packaged with plenty of food-tasting opportunities so you can quite literally eat your way through the city.

From here, you can explore Lyon's current city centre, Presqu'ile. Keep your eyes peeled at the Museum of Illusions or catch a play at the Théatre des Célestins. However, shopaholics will most likely want to put their second day to good use at the high-end boutiques in Presqu'ile-Bellecour. You can then spend your final day relaxing and fully immersing yourself in local life. If you want to go even further, though, you can take some day trips to hike near Grenoble, taste wine at the Beaujolais, or visit the historic city of Dijon.

Question 8

What food is the speciality of Lyon?

Accepted Answer

As France's gastronomic capital, Lyon doesn't have one speciality &ndash; it has several. You can try the city's unique take on charcuterie through the dish p&acirc;t&eacute; en cro&ucirc;te, in which p&acirc;t&eacute; is baked in a loaf-shaped shell of flaky pastry before being served. Lyon is also known for popularising one of the most famous cheeses in France: Saint-Marcellin, a soft, creamy cheese that makers in the city cure with white wine. And if you've got a sweet tooth, the Coussin de Lyon is one speciality you'll definitely want to try. Created by local chocolatier Voisin, this confection consists of a green marzipan shell filled with cura&ccedil;ao liqueur-infused chocolate ganache.
