Lyon is known as the capital of gastronomy, but there's so much more to this UNESCO World Heritage Site than good food and fine dining. Lyon's many museums and historical landmarks, not to mention its vibrant cultural scene, will delight and inspire even the most world-weary traveler. Popular attractions include the Parc de la Tete d'Or, replete with a lake, a zoo and a botanical garden; the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière; and the Lyon Museum of Fine Arts. Shopping, dining and clubbing are in abundance in the district of Presqu'île. And in Vieux Lyon, the city's largest Renaissance quarter, visitors will discover an intriguing network of alleyways and courtyards filled with hidden gems. Show All
