A useful good value card if you are doing tours
by wendy
We bought a 48hr card and with it we paid for a one hour walking tour, a boat tour, three journeys on the metro and entrance to one museum. We would have used it for another museum but when we arrived we discovered that as it was the first Sunday of the month entrance was free anyway. Adding up the costs of the activities we used it for we did save money. It also made use of the metro easy as it worked by ‘tapping in’ as it has a QR code on it.
If you are planning on doing tours or visiting a number of museums it is very cost effective. It is always worth double checking the opening days and hours of museums - many are closed on Mondays or Tuesdays.
Key to the city
by donato
What a wonderful idea is the Lyon city card. It felt like a key to the city. Throughly enjoyed the opportunity’s this card gave. Loved ???? it. Thank you Lyon
Excellent
by ljl
Made travel on public transport super easy, liked additional benefits and discount on museum entries. I would recommend.
Tutto in tasca
by edoardo
La possibilità di andare da un capo all'altro della città e, se si vuole, visitare qualsiasi cosa s'incontri (o di avere degli sconti) è il vero punto di forza della card!
Lione, una città molto teatrale
by cristina
Una città bella e particolare, con molta arte passata e contemporanea. Passeggiare per le sue strade è davvero piacevole, ci sono molte sorprese, trompe-l'oeil immensi e portoni che nascondono segreti, i traboules. Tanti tanti musei per tutti i gusti, due bei fiumi con tanto verde che si uniscono davanti a un museo dalla superba architettura, un bellissimo Skyline da Fourviere, tanto davvero tanto da vedere e visitare...e il cibo ! Una meraviglia! Menzione d'onore per la cucina dei bouchon, davvero unica!
Siamo stati davvero bene, grazie Lione
Amazing
by vtce86
We were on the boat tour, several museums and used the metro, Tram and went back to the airport by bus. All included. Worth the money.
Gute Kombination von Transport und Besichtigungen
by hans
Die Karte erlaubt maximale Bewegungsfreiheit auf allen Transportsystemen und dazu Eintritte oder Vergünstigungen, das ist genial.
Good value and made things easy
by david
Made it easy to use public transport and the Rhonexpress without navigating ticket machines, and it was nice to have so many things included in the card for one fixed price.
Excellent Lyon City Card
by bryan j
Excellent value card. We got the 48hr version. Facilitates travel around the city, provides free entry to lots of interesting places, provides discounts.
Buy online, in advance, for a 10% discount on the price of the card
Pleasantly surprised
by legnonkey
I chose Lyon partly because it was well connected by train with the next destination of my trip and I stumbled upon a lot of quirky and interesting history that I wasn't expecting. The Lyon card was very useful in facilitating a walking tour and access to public transport.
Business owner
by victoria
Had a good time. Would be more worth it for 48hrs than 24.
complimenti Lione
by andrea torricelli
Sono rimasto contentissimo della mia breve vacanza nella vostra splendida città tanto che cercherò di ritornare a Dicembre per la Festa della Luce, che mi ha molto incuriosito.
Convenient
by shelley
This was overall a good value for the money; however, the details said I could pick up the Card at Lyon Part-Dieu so I prepped my day to revolve around this. It was a bit of a surprise that I'd have to venture to Bellecour to pick it up!
Great value
by lizzie
Excellent value for money, especially as we got a deal in the run up to Valentine’s Day. Easy to get full value from the cards in two days without much effort - we saved €55 each overall. Would definitely buy one again if we came back to Lyon.
Very good deal
by giancarlo
The card is worth if you add an activity, a cruise and at least one museum. The activity and the cruise give you an excellent knowledge on the city
Lyon City Card Feb/Mar
by aj
Really good purchase for a weekend. Purchased and collected from the Westfield information desk. Made the most of the public transport and attractions.
Goed
by dm
Onderscheid tussen musea en attracties die gratis waren versus reductie was niet altijd duidelijk. Maar voor de rest zeker de moeite waard als je geïnteresseerd bent in musea en dergelijke.
Visita lyon
by claudia lagos
La tarjeta es muy útil y conveniente, porque te permite entrar a prácticamente todas las atracciones sin costo y puedes andar en el transporte público sin problema, sumado a que la gente es muy amable en todos lados.
La señorita de la oficina de turismo habla la español y nos dió muchos consejos para nuestro recorrido
great ti discover Lyon
by carla
It's great to get to know Lyon with a tour included, transportation and any museum. All in one go!
Making the most of time in Lyon
by andrew
This is the second tine we have visited Lyon and both times we have bought a Lyon card. We revisited some attractions and tried some new ones. Having transport included makes it so easy to get around both by day and at night. Really worth having.

Como facilmente aproveitar Lyon com o City Card
by leonardo maia
O Lyon City Card é excelente para quem está a visitar Lyon. É uma cidade muito bem organizada com os transportes públicos e o CityCard torna tudo mais simples e fácil. Com uma oferta cultural bastante grande, o CityCard permitiu-nos visitar inúmeros museus com entrada livre e passear pela cidade duma ponta a outra em apenas minutos. Nos compramos o pass de 72h e com a quantidade de viagens que fizemos, compensava só por aí. Para além disso, tivemos entrada livre nos museus, uma viagem pela cidade de autocarro, uma volta pela roda gigante na Place Bellecour e uma equipa no posto de turismo impecável sempre dispostos a receber-nos.
Recomendo o CityCard a todos os que estiveram a visitar Lyon por uns dias.
Go anywhere and see anything
by chris
The Lyon City card allowed my group to easily get around the city. From the main train station to our hotel, from our hotel to the confluence museum, to Les Halle and other places. So nice to tap your card or show your card and you’re done! It encourages you to go to the tiniest place or schedule a tour too.
Enjoying Lyon
by peter
We enjoyed a short break in Lyon and found the City card extremely useful. We are not able to walk a lot but we had free access to the hop on hop off bus, the Metro, the trams, the museums which helped us get around. The free one hour walking tour with guide in the old city was a real bonus. We would fully recommend the card.
A must-have in Lyon
by david t-w
This card is the essential item when visiting Lyon, offering free access to loads of museums in addition to all your public-transport needs. Highly recommended!
Great offers!
by agustina
Loved the city and I wished I had more time to discover it. The CityCard offer is one of the best I've seen in Europe, pretty much every museum is included and you get some tours as well. I'd only recommend being mindful and checking if whenever you're visiting the attractions are opened and fully functional because I went during winter and some perks such as the boat ride and the Basilica's guided tour wasn't available.
Ottima esperienza
by simona franceschin
Siamo una famiglia di 4 persone e abbiamo acquistato la Lyon city card valida 48 ore. È stata un' ottima proposta per visitare Lione utilizzando i mezzi, il pullman turistico, la ruota panoramica e i vari museo proposti. Consigliata!
Hope to have e version
by connie choi
Since I need to walk to the place to buy a pass, if you got a e- ticket, it would be better
Good, but
by nora
- We loved the easy use of the card for all forms of public transportation. It enabled us to see more of the city.
- We appreciated being able to easily scan the card to get into museums.
- It was out of our way to go to the tourist office, but it was the only way to pick up the card. It wasn't ideal that we had to already know all the activities we wanted to do, so they could reserve tickets for us there (instead of being able to book online or show up directly at the vendor to take advantage of an activity - ex: the boat excursions had to be booked at the tourist office).
- We purchased two, 48h cards with the cost calculation of doing 2 museums, 1 boat trips, 1 ferris wheels, and public transport (per person). However, because we were there a weekend of a big event, the city pass wasn't valid for the ferris wheel (which was an unpleasant surprise). With that, we would have spent less not using the city pass, unfortunately.
Genial
by maribel
Fátima nos atendió en el punto de información turística el 21 de diciembre de forma excepcional. Más profesional de lo que esperábamos. Se volcó en ayudarnos e informarnos de todo . Nos aconsejó comprar la tarjeta turística de 3 dias por 56 eu que incluye prácticamente todo para visitar la ciudad y movernos por ella . Todo un acierto gracias a ella . Se notaba que le gustas lo que hacía y encima, hablaba español, lo que hizo que todo fuera mas fácil aún. Chapeau !!
Too complicated
by john nutting
It includes all TCL public transport except you eventually discover not the NAVI river boat service - which only goes to Confluence at weekends. Trying to understand the variations during the Festival of Light was difficult. Our bus took a different route to that shown on the app. The Fine Art Museum was closed during its advertised opening hours. The Roman museum was closed on Mondays. You could end up spending time looking at all the various websites when really you want to be out and about.
Lyon City Card - walking tour

Absolutely superb walking tour in English with Fiona who imparted lots of fascinating detail and an obvious love for the city.

La card oltre che far risparmiare e’ comodissima, non è necessario tirar fuori contanti o carta di credito! Inoltre invoglia a visitare il più possibile!!!
Preciosa experiencia
by natalia
Coger la lion city card ha sido un acierto, porque nos ha permitido una libertad total en una ciudad increíble que no solo es preciosa, sino que tiene un patrimonio enorme. Sin ella, todo nos habría salido mucho más caro y gracias a ella hemos podido hacer muchas cosas que son ella probablemente no habríamos hecho
Merece a pena.

Se visitar Lyon não hesite em comprar o Lyon City Card. Vale muito a pena porque inclui várias atividades e fica mais barato e mais prático.
Fantastica

3 days in Lyon
by inês
I have bought the lyon City card for 3 days including the rohnexpress and was able to have a great experience in Lyon: see the main museums (fine arts, confluences, modern art), do the boat trip and have a wonderful 1h guided tour through vieux Lyon. In the express train, the ticket inspector was prompt to give me the transportation card and explain it,which was quite helpul as I didnt realise i would need another card for public transports.
NO ME HA SERVIDO
by maite
no sabía que no era válida para el museo del cine y miniatura, en 2023 la entrada era gratuita... ahora hay que pagar 11 euros!!!
además, nos quedamos sin poder hacer el crucero por el Saona, porque siempre estaba abarrotado y no se podía reservar... muy mal
Response from ONLYLYON Tourism
03/12/2025 by Delphine
Nuestras ofertas están sujetas a cambios y pueden evolucionar. Por ejemplo, en 2025, este museo costará 11 € en lugar de 22 €, mientras que en 2023 era gratuito.
Se recomienda reservar las actividades con antelación, especialmente en temporada alta, ya que están sujetas a disponibilidad. La tarjeta sigue ofreciendo acceso a más de 40 actividades incluidas.
Lamento su decepción.
Great value for money
by map craeghs
Lots of museums included, a boat cruise and a guided tour also PLUS all the public transport was free. The card really helped me to discover what Lyon has to offer!
Very poor
by frans sueters
There was hardly any information, except on the website
You sold us the city guard for three days, without mentioning that museums were closed at monday ánd tuesday
The City Card had problems entering the metro

Dear Frans Sueters,
We thank you for your comments
We are sorry to read your disappointement
Where did you go to pick up your card ?
Our staff at the tourist office Place Bellecour should help you to organize your stay in Lyon with Lyon City Card
On our website we have a lot of information, on opening museums & practical information, so this is more helpful to contact our staff for assistance if necessary
I saw that you bought an audio tour which is included in Lyon City Card so we gonna make a refund soon
Don't hesitate to send me an email to explain in details your problems during your stay in order to understand,

Strive to be like the Copenhagen card
by henry rosicky
The pass was helpful and of value. However - inconvenient that u to out have to go get a physical card, why can’t you simply activate it on your phone? Phone scanning didn’t work all the time. App organization of available attractions could be better. We had travelled to Copenhagen before Leon. I’d give their card a 10 out of 10.
Well worth it!
by njmarais
Chose to stay in Lyon for a few days merely due to practicalities, and discovered a lovely city with a lot to do. Will definitely return.
One of the best things to buy in Lyon
by geoff
We bought 72 hour cards and saved 24 euros each. They also made travelling around so easy.
Every city should have a system like this
by manli
Really loved having the City Card, I travel mainly by subway and bus so having the City Card made the whole process really convenient (didn’t have to download an app or rebuy tickets every time). Also got into a lot of museums for free or discounted price. Made back the price I paid for the City Card for sure.

Lyon Forever & Ever
by jack
We had a magical time and want to come back straight away. I’d happily live in Lyon.
Loads of things to see you do from ancient history to the present day - all made affordable with the Lyon Card.
The public transport network was easy to use and incredibly efficient and again having access to this on the card made life so easy.
Perfect All-in-One Pass to Discover Lyon
by gent
I’d rate the City Card Lyon a solid 5/5. What stood out to me was how seamlessly everything worked together — museums, public transport, and even tours like the boat cruise were all included and easy to access. It made exploring the city effortless and great value for the price. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Lyon!
Public transport is the way to go but information is tricky to find
by jane
Public transport in central Lyon is good. It is easy to navigate with the App. Taxis are hard to book. You have a better chance of hailing one in high traffic areas. We didn't really understand the way to get to the airport using the card, and resorted to buying separate tickets at €17 each to get there. The information in Gare Lyon Par Dieu was very poor. It's a busy station, undergoing renovation s. We finally found an information office upstairs which although courteous, was not very useful. We finally found the correct departure point at the other end of the station. The information people there were also nice, but had no English so again, we couldn't find out how to use our VisitLyon card.
We did book for the one hour walking tour, which was pleasant if light, and for the boat tour. The boat tour gives a different view of the city. The guide was friendly but his English parts were hard to understand and there was no information booklet in English.
I would still buy the pass for convenience but if you're visiting fir the second or third time, you might be better to pay as you go
Rapido e facil
by maria
We bought a card for 72h and managed to ser the main museums,used the funicular and metro (which was useful with our stroller) and went on the boat trip which was included. The ONLY thing you need to know os that on mondays most museums are closed,so that's something you should keep in mind when planning your visit.
Comodissima

Veramente pratica, io l' ho acquistata prima della partenza e non mi sono più dovuta preoccupare dei trasporti, ho fatto gratuitamente la crociera sulla Savona e la visita guidata della Vieux Lyon

by annette
My experience using the City Card on my last visit (in 2015) was a compelling reason that I returned to Lyon on this year’s two-month sojourn in Europe. The map and guide allowed me to revisit sites and discover new experiences with ease, using the transportation tips provided in the guide. Staff at the visitor center on Place Bellecour were very knowledgeable and welcoming. Kudos to your city’s valuable and successful promotion - see you next time!

The Lyon City Card was well worth the money (2 day pass). We visited a number of museums, took the Saone boat cruise, completed a 2 hour walking tour with a guide, and used the public transportation repeatedly. The card worked flawlessly.
Fine, but more exact information helpful
by coffee
Most of the attractions are not easy to get access to. You have to book and it's very questionable if you get an answer. Some attractions only available on certain jours or month. Till you find out these details, it's already too late.
Otherwise easy to handle for the 5-6 most obvious topics.
Good value
by roger
The Lyon City Card offers a variety of activities, including a free walking tour. Without this tour we would definitely miss Lyon many Traboules. We only bought the 48h pass, and we didn't have enough time to visit all the atractions included.
Special thanks to Guillaume at Tourism Office for all the valuable advices.
Magnifique
by canuck01
A wonderful way to get to know this wonderful city, with its marvelous museums and interesting neighborhoods. The pass give unlimited access to the metro, tram and funicular. They whisk you from place to place in modern cars that come frequently.
A good tool to explore the city of Lyon
by david g
A very useful card to see many things in the city of Lyon. I used a 48 hour card that allowed me to see a few museums and take a river cruise. I also used the public transport system as much as I could. It’s worth it if you plan on visiting and are able to see the sites.
très bon !

I had a lovely time, I thought the card was very worth it and included a lot of fun experiences!

O Cartão é um pouco caro, contudo tem todos os transportes necessários, entrada em alguns museus, descontos noutros. O Rhonexpress também está incluido o que é muito prático para quem viaja de avião.
Outstanding value
by robert d
My wife and I had a 3-day card for our visit and thought that the package was invaluable. I have a walking problem and the ease with which we could use Lyon's excellent public transport network was a real asset. The river cruise was a real bonus and the Musee de Confluence is a brilliant exhibition.
Great card
by sussexchicken
I visited Lyon with my sister and we bought a 3 day card plus RhôneExpress ticket.
The card allowed way access to the metro, team and many museums. We also booked a 1hr walking tour for free and had a discount on a food tour. We saved ourselves a confusedly amount of money by buying the ticket.
Lyon is a city to return to.
by kate
We thoroughly enjoyed Lyon - more than expected. It’s easy to get around, has wide streets and fabulous buildings, plenty of museums and amazing food.

It worth it! / Ca vaut le coup
by ionut
We had a Lyon card for 72h and had the chance to see a lot of attractions during our stay. You get a bunch of attractions to see and things to do for less and also local transportation or even connection with the airport with an additional fee.
Just read before the attraction’s description and see where you need to book in advance.
Thanks Lyon for such a lovely experience!

Love lyon
by tricia
I loved my first stay in Lyon and found the Lyon 48hr travel card enabled me to see and do a lot. My only negative comment is that Lyon lacks posts to give directions for those walking in the city. I arrived after visiting Antwerp and the Hague where the signposts are frequent and very helpful for walkers.
Gutes Angebot für Erwachsene nicht für kleine Kinder
by philipp
Für meinen Sohn waren die Ausstellungen meist frei womit sich die Karte nicht gelohnt hat. Auch die Metro ist bis 10 Jahren frei.
Das Tourisikbüro konnte mir bei allem exzellent weiterhelfen. Diesen Punkt lies sie dennoch aus. Schade. Hier hätte ich mir mehr Informationen gewünscht.

Easy way to get about the city

A comfortable way to get about the city using its public transport systems. It allowed going into museums, even for a short time, to make the most of our visit to Lyon.
Excellent
by derya
Lyon card was extremely useful. I stayed a bit far from the old town but by Lyon card I travelled fast and easy and planned my day efficiently. I could use it even at the funicular for the Roman ruins. Also it gave free admissions to many attractions like the boat tour and basilica roof. You also have the chance to rest in the lounge of the the village shopping center and free entrance to many museums.
Made everything easier
by louise camplin
With three teenagers this card helped them extend their experiences of Lyon. As many of the experiences were free with it, they tried lots of things they would not have done if we had had to pay each time.
by xinyang
Travelling around the world, this my very first city card. It's of great value for a city like the size of Lyon. The guided tour was very interesting and?informative. The boat ride was also of fun and much information.
