Walking Around in Lyon

The city center of Lyon is ideal for walking as all of the major attractions are close together. Situate yourself at Perrache Railway Station as the starting point of your walking tour of Lyon. Head along the pedestrian road towards the Place Bellecour. Along the way, you will pass the la Tour de l'Horloge which is a large clock tower and the last remaining part of hospital where the homeless could once find refuge. The Place Bellecour is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the largest pedestrian square in Europe. Stop here for a coffee and croissant at one of the many cafes surrounding the square. A short distance away, you will find the Bartholdi fountain in front of the Place des Terreaux. The fountain was built in 1892 and is a popular meeting place for locals in Lyon. Now, cross the Saône River using the bridge de la Feuillée.  You are now in the old section of Lyon. Next, take the funicular or walk up the hill to the Basilique Notre Dame de Fourvière which is the symbol of the city. You can take a guided tour of this magnificent cathedral or explore the interior at your own pace.
