Lyon travel tips
See the 2,000-year-old Roman Theatres of Lyon
This complex of Roman buildings consists of the larger Grand Theatre and a smaller Odeon beside. It was built in 15 B.C. and can accommodate 10,000 visitors! The Grand Theatre is the oldest Roman amphitheater in France. However, it still hosts cultural events, such as the Nuits de Fourvière, one of Europe’s largest summer festivals.
Morning is the best time to look for fresh baguettes in Lyon
French boulangeries are full of baguettes in the morning. However, they can take a break for lunch at around midday or close altogether in the afternoon if the stores are depleted. You may find some artisan bread later in the day, but not a famous fresh baguette. Early risers get all the yummies!
Shop at La Part Dieu — the largest shopping centre in Lyon
Part Dieu shopping centre is located in the middle of Lyon’s third district, which is among the most populated areas in the city. The number of its yearly visitors is measured in dozens of millions. La Part Dieu houses 260 shops from Zara and H&M to famous Galeries Lafayette. McDonald’s, KFC, Burger King, Starbucks, Pizza del Arte, or Subway will come in handy if you get hungry.
