Tickets to these attractions alone are worth much more than the cost of the card, but you can also enjoy a guided tour of Lyon, a cruise along the Ródano and the Saona, a tourist train... to find all the tours and attractions by downloading the card's app here.
And the card includes discounts on activities and shows in the Lyon Opera and various theatres, bike tours, segway rides and cruises on the Ródano. And the card includes free use of Lyon's public transport! (The Rhônexpress, the transport between the airport and the city, is not included).
Skip the Line
As well as free entry, at the majority of the attractions you'll skip the line, allowing you to save the long wait times in high season.
How It Works
The Lyon City Card is valid from its first use. From this moment onwards you can use it for the number of days you've selected (2, 3, or 4 consecutive days). We recommend using the card for the first time in the morning to maximize its validity period. The card allows free access to each and every attraction.
Where to Pickup the Card
To enjoy the benefits of the Lyon City Card it's necessary to redeem the voucher that we'll send you. The collection points are as follows:
- Lyon Tourist Office: located at Place Bellecour. It's open daily from 9 am to 6 pm (closed on December 25th and January 1st).
- Part-Dieu shopping center: Place de l'Eau (69003 Lyon). Reception is open from 9:30 am to 8 pm on Mondays to Saturdays and from 10 am to 8 pm on Sundays and public holidays. It's closed on January 1, May 1, and December 25.
Lyon City Card App
While it doesn't replace the physical card, downloading the Lyon City Card application offers a convenient tourist guide. Once you download the app, you can access information on all Lyon City Card partners without internet connection.
Activate the geolocation feature to discover nearby activities. If you link the app to your physical card, it'll provide details on available Lyon City Card visits, their validity, remaining time, and more.
It's important to note that the physical card grants access to public transport, while the app focuses on Lyon City Card activities, including museums, attractions, guided tours, cruises, and more.
Lyon City Card + Rhônexpress
If, in addition to all the benefits of the tourist card, you want to travel between the airport and the city centre, we recommend purchasing the combo that includes the Lyon City Card and the Rhônexpress.
