⭐ Independent comparison · ranked by verified reviews
For a grey or wet day Lyon has more than museums on offer: the Musée de l’illusion, the Musée des Confluences, the Museum of Fine Arts, a puppet theatre at the Parc de la Tête d’Or, escape games in the Old Town, painting, calligraphy and silk workshops. Most entry tickets are cheap; workshops cost more because they include materials and a teacher.

Good to know
No. Lyon lies inland between the Saône and the Rhône, and the nearest sea is a long train ride away. The offers on this site are city, river, food and museum experiences that start in Lyon itself.
Only the ones that are open to the public. Many are entrances of residential buildings, and people live behind the doors, so keep the noise down. A guided tour explains what you pass and is the practical way to find the passages worth the detour.
Annecy is roughly two hours by regional train, and day trips to Annecy, Geneva, Chamonix and Burgundy appear in the feed, but they start in those places and are not listed here. If you want one, read the meeting point on the booking page before you plan the travel.
The listing combines unlimited public transport with around 40 activities. Whether it pays off depends on how many of the included sights you really visit, so add them up against single tickets on the booking page before you buy.
It depends on the operator. Read the meeting point on the booking page of the cruise you choose, and check which language the commentary is in, because that is the part that explains the sights.
Many are, but several walks, storytelling tours and theatre visits are given in French only. The title or description says so, so check it before you book.
By review numbers the strongest choices are the guided Saône sightseeing cruise, the hop-on hop-off bus, the city highlights walk, the Musée de l’illusion and the private traboules walk, followed by food tours in the Old Town.
