Lyon Free Walking Tour

At the indicated time, we'll meet in central Lyon. From there, we'll begin this free walking tour of this stunning French city.

On this free walking tour, you'll discover different spots in Vieux Lyon, the Old Town, where we'll be immersed in the city's fascinating Medieval architecture. We'll see the Place des Jacobins, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where we'll see the exterior architecture of the iconic Lyon Cathedral. We'll also stroll along the legendary traboules, historic secret passageways used to get around the city. 

Along with discovering Vieux Lyon and its surroundings, we'll also spot other important places like the Place des Terreaux, a beautiful square where you'll see the facade of the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon and the City Hall of Lyon. Here, you'll also find the Fontaine Bartholdi, a spectacular fountain by the same sculptor who created New York's Statue of Liberty

Finally, after between 1 hour and 45 minutes and 2 hours and 15 minutes, we'll conclude this free tour of Lyon in the city center.
