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.

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.
