Lyon, a city of 1.3MM inhabitants, has grown as a tourist destination, especially since it was granted UNESCO Heritage status in 1998. Located at the confluence of Le Rhone and La Saone rivers, with a glorious view of Mont Blanc looking east, the vineyards of Burgundy to the north and Provence to the South, the city is a perfect hub for cultural, outdoor and gastronomic pursuits.The history of Lyon unfolds from its Roman origins on Fourviere Hill, growing in medieval times to encompass the present old town on the right bank of the Saone River, expanding through the Renaissance period to the Peninsula and spreading through the Industrial age and modern history east of the Rhone. Experience 2000 years of Lyon as you walk east, experiencing the art and architecture of each distinctive period. Today, Lyon is a multicultural hub, drawing people from all over Europe and North Africa. Commerce is at its core.Unlike many city cards that offer free transportation but only discounts to major attractions, the Lyon city card offers free admission to all museums, free public transportation as well as a free guided city walk and a boat ride. Lyon weekend packages, also offered through the tourism portal, offers hotel nights with free breakfast at extremely competitive prices in comparison to booking directly with the hotels.
