City guide
Visiting Lyon in August
August brings warm summer days and an unhurried pace along the river quays as locals take annual leave.
Lyon commands the confluence of the Rhone and Saone rivers in east-central France. Once the Roman capital of Gaul and later the European hub of silk weaving, France's third-largest city is revered worldwide as the gastronomic capital of France.
- From the airport
- Lyon-Saint Exupery Airport (LYS) is situated 25 kilometres east of the city. The dedicated Rhonexpress tram departs every 15 minutes, connecting directly to central Lyon Part-Dieu railway station in just 29 minutes. Official taxis cost around 50 to 60 euros during the day.
- Getting around
- The historic centre and the Presqu'ile are compact and very walkable. Public transport (TCL) is modern and efficient, featuring four metro lines, two funicular railways climbing Fourviere, trams, and buses. Velo'v shared city bikes are immensely popular along the riverside boulevards.
