Description

Explore the historic center of Lyon on foot with a guide: narrow streets, traboules, monuments, and well-kept secrets during a 2-hour friendly walk.
Discover Lyon like a local on a 2-hour guided walking tour through the iconic neighborhoods of Old Lyon and the Presqu'île. This urban stroll will take you back in time through the history, architecture, and lifestyle of Lyon, while enjoying a friendly and effortless moment.

From our agency located in Vieux-Lyon—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—we'll walk along the banks of the Saône River before crossing over to the Presqu'île. Along the way, you'll be charmed by the elegant facades of Place des Jacobins and the secrets of the Hôtel-Dieu, a beautifully restored former hospital. We end this part of the tour at the famous Place Bellecour, one of the largest squares in Europe.

Then, we return to the heart of Old Lyon for an immersion in its cobbled streets, famous traboules (secret passageways), and Renaissance buildings. Your guide will share local anecdotes, historical landmarks, and tips for exploring the city on your own after the tour.
