Plan Your Visit to Lyon

Carry your Lyon City Card with you at all times for seamless access to transport and attractions. Most museums follow standard opening hours, but check individual venue times before visiting as some may require advance reservations during busy periods. Plan to spend at least a full day to make the most of your card's benefits, though you can choose from different validity periods depending on your stay length.

The card works best when you combine multiple activities in one day. Start with a guided walking tour through Lyon's Old Town, then use the metro to reach your chosen museums. End your day with a relaxing Lyon river cruise to see the city from a different angle. Present your card at attraction entrances and have ID ready if requested by venue staff.
