Cheap flights from Athens to Lyon from £60

Two large rivers, Rhône and Saône, meet in the heart of the city. You can see Lyon from a new perspective during the cruises on electric-powered boats. If you’d like some exercise, a canoe trip is also an option. Aside from the rivers, you can also explore a beautiful lake at Tête d’Or Park. Gliding its tranquil water among ducks and swans, you will forget about the hassle of a large city nearby.

Local trains in France have fixed fares, so the cost will be the same whenever you buy the tickets. However, long-distance Intercity or TGV trains have large discounts if you book seats in advance. For instance, you will pay at least 30% less if you buy tickets from Lyon to Paris 3 months before the day of departure. Thorough planning may save you money!

Crayon is the most well-known skyscraper in Lyon. It houses a Radisson Blu hotel and the bar, called Celest, on the 32nd floor. Amazing views of the city are among its main attractions. Enter the building at the Radisson entrance and take the elevator to the reception. You can have a drink there (a cup of coffee, for instance) and enjoy the views even without staying at the hotel.
