Lyon Airport Transfer
1. Learn
Situated in east-central France, at the confluence of the Rhone and Saone rivers and with a population of over 500 000 inhabitants, Lyon has reached the status of France's third-largest city after Paris and Marseille. Lyon is also the main city on the road and rail routes between the capital of France and the south of the country, between Paris, the Alps and Italy, also between northern Europe and Spain. Located on the transition zone between the temperate oceanic climate of northern France, the warm continental one of northern Italy and the subtropical Mediterranean in south, Lyon enjoys a fairly temperate climate.
Since the late 20th century, Lyon is considered the gastronomic capital of France with a huge selection of good restaurants (Michelin star-awarded establishments) offering top quality food and local specialities, with plenty of local wines to be sampled which Lyon Airport Transfer invites you to try. Hosting important commercial, industrial and banking offices for the past 500 years, Lyon is also an important area for the production and weaving of silk also for the chemical, pharmaceutical and biotech industries.
With its historical and architectural landmarks dating from more than 20 centuries, Lyon has earned a place on the UNESCO World Heritage list and still has many cultural treasures waiting to be discovered by those who take the time to explore the city.
2. Visit
Lyon has plenty of opportunities to enjoy its dynamic cultural life, outstanding museums, medieval quarters and fine Renaissance houses, while adventurous gourmets can indulge in their wildest gastronomic fantasies as there are many events that take place during the year. Either you choose Lyon as a city break destination or for a business one, Lyon Airport Transfer offers you some suggestions with the most popular attractions:
Fine Arts Museum: Considered the next best-finest arts museum in France after the Louvre, the impressive cultural heritage of Lyon is evidenced in Musee des Beaux-Arts, housed in a former Benedictine convent of the 17th and 18th centuries. The museum has one of the Europe’s largest collection of artwork, from antiquity to contemporary art, exhibited in over 70 rooms, including also many renowned works by European masters such as Delacroix, Rembrandt, Rubens, Poussin and Gericault.
Museum of Gallo-Roman Civilization (Museum of Archaeology): Previously located in the heart of the Roman city, this gorgeous archaeology museum displays the Gallo-Roman-era objects such as statues, coins, vases, mosaics and ceramics, collections which make up a complete panorama of everyday life from the beginnings of our era.
Basilica Notre-Dame de Fourviere: With its foundations made between 1872 and 1884 with private funds, this late 19th century basilica was built in the neo-Byzantine style, very similar to the Sacre-Coeur basilica at Montmartre, in Paris. Located on the Fourviere Hill and accessible by funiculars running up the hill, Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourviere has sumptuous mosaics and paintings waiting to be admired by tourists.
Ancient Theatre of Fourviere: the theatre was originally build around 15BC and it is a Roman ancient structure built next to the hill of Fourviere. The theatre had a capacity to offer 10000 seats and nowadays is a touristic site and also a hub for cultural venues. Each year in march you will find here Nuits de Fourviere festival, a social gathering of theatre, music, opera, circus, dance and cinema activities.
Place des Terreaux: in the heart of Lyon lies the square of Terreaux. This is a World Heritage Site classified by UNESCO. You can visit some of the greatest sites of Lyon including Lyon City Hall, the Saint Pierre Palace and Fine Arts Museum.
