A hop-on-hop-off tour of Lyon is a great way to explore all the sightseeing attractions of this historical city in France. Stroll around Place Bellecour located between the Rhone and the Saone rivers and marvel at the famous statue of Louis XIV on horseback by Francois Lemot.

Don’t miss out the Notre Dame basilica and appreciate its gilt, marble work, stained glass windows, colored mosaics and a sun bathed crypt of Saint Joseph. Perched atop the Fourviere hill, the basilica looms impressively over the city and can be viewed from many vantage points.

Explore the pretty Place des Terreaux boasting a monumental fountain and a beautiful baroque hotel. Visit the Cemetery of Loyasse and marvel at its different architectural styles.
