The Highlights

Overview

In the heart of Lyon’s UNESCO district, this tour offers a deep dive into the city’s rich history. From the founding of Lugdunum in 43 BC to the golden age of its silk industry, you’ll explore the key moments that have shaped Lyon into the cultural gem it is today. Your adventure begins on Fourvière Hill, where you’ll enjoy stunning panoramic views and visit the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, as well as ancient Roman ruins that showcase Lyon’s role in the Roman Empire. Next, wander through the charming streets of Old Lyon, a medieval and Renaissance treasure filled with hidden courtyards and the famous traboules—secret passageways once used by silk workers. Along the banks of the Saône River, you’ll also enjoy breathtaking views of the Presqu'île and Croix-Rousse, where Lyon’s silk-making history truly comes alive.
