Hi guys ! I want to share my Lyon Trip here !
When i first saw the name of the Airport of Lyon, i asked myself ''isn't that the writer of The Little Prince ?''. Sure he is, St.Exupery !
There were few options to go from the airport to the center, the most logic one was 'Rhonexpress', so i chosed this. The price was 15 Euros (there will be discount if you are under 25 yo). After we had arrived at our hotel we began discovering the city.
The most important parts of the city are; cultural past, brightness and contemporary art events.
The city has been built by Rhone River and Saone River. The roads that goes to Italy and Sweden is here so if you have return ticket over Cenova you should see this city !
We were walking around ! Unplanned trip brung us to Saone's shore. Sun were shining, the river, the other side of it, bridges....Everything were shining...Bridges look amazing in this city...
Vieux Lyon. Historical streets are very calm here. We are going to the Castle to see the city from above. The Castle has wonderful view ! After going down to the center we walked on all streets that interested us and found ourselves at La Place Bellecour.
After seeing gorgeous place Place Les Terreaux we start climbing Croix Rousse ! Stairs, narrow streets...Loosing your way is the most beautiful thing in this city. Everymorning, everyday, each dishes, each memory is beautiful...
I m so glad to be there....
Some notes for steemians who wonder...
From Paris Gare de Lyon stop to Lyon Perrache stop by fast train costs 71 euros and it takes 2 hours and 15 mins.
A ticket in the center for bus and metro costs 1.7 euros. There are other alternatives if you are interested ( unlimites for 2 hours; 2.7 Eu]
The best way to reach the center from airport is Rhonexpress train. it works from 05:00 to 00:00. (15 minutes periods) It takes 30 minutes.
Most shops are closed on Sunday. So you should arrenge your plans on this.
There is a city bazaar by the river; Marche Saint-Antoine Celestins. You should try this =)
