Between the Rhône and Saône rivers, Lyon's old town reveals traboules - secret passageways once used by silk merchants. The Museum of Fine Arts houses treasures in a former abbey, while Lyon National Opera dazzles in a modernist glass dome. At Les Halles food market, sample pink praline tarts and Beaujolais from nearby vineyards. The hilltop Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière offers panoramic views worth the climb. Discover Roman ruins at Lugdunum before dining in a traditional bouchon where chefs transform simple ingredients into culinary art. The Musée des Confluences resembles a floating crystal at the rivers' meeting point - much like Lyon itself, where past and future flow together.

Radisson Blu Hotel Lyon

Radisson Blu Hotel Lyon

10/10 Excellent
"Enjoyed our stay at Radison in Lyon. It had all the modern convinces at hotel. It is has a street car line across the street from entrance which makes for an easy ride into Old Town Lyon or most other places you may want to go. It's an easy walk to the train station. They had a good breakfast buffet that was pretty expensive. They also have a restaurant and bar on site with nice views of the city. In general the food and drinks are more expensive for the view than what you can get in town."
