Excellent tourist office - Perfect welcome, very good advice. Perfect opening hours (as would be good to have everywhere). Buying the city card is a plus to visit this city we discovered.

The Lyon City Card is worth it! - Booking online was easy and you could book a cruise and a guided tour of the old town in advance. The purchase of the card is worthwhile.

Excellent value for money - Large amount of activities at a more than reasonable cost. You decide what you want to visit. The customer service is very dynamic and able to advise us for our choices. The guided tour of old Lyon included charmed us with the guide Laurence. A must because there are activities for all tastes.

Lyon, I love you! - Although getting the Lyon city card was confusing, once I had the card, it was entirely useful. Getting around Lyon is very easy and the tourist options were relaxing and educational. There really should be an easy way to buy the Lyon City Card in a contactless manner on your phone so that a ticket office isn't necessary. I did appreciate the very friendly and helpful staff at Place Bellecour, but when you're traveling with all your stuff and wish to use the metro, a more immediate online purchase option would be most beneficial to users. Hopefully the Lyon metro system will soon develop a contactless method of payment that utilizes your phone, as they do in the UK. The city of Lyon is AMAZING. I LOVE IT. I extended my stay to experience more of it. The Lyon City Card (with transport) definitely improved my experience.

I highly recommend Lyon City Cards - I strongly recommend taking Lyon City Cards for 24, 48 or 72 hours. They are very convenient and economical if you plan to visit museums. They also allow unlimited access to public transport.

Pleasant experience and discovery - Beautiful city with remarkable and diverse architectural, cultural and historical heritage, with high quality museums. Not to mention its excellent gastronomy, with a particular signature in the many stoppers (to be consumed without moderation)! We used the Lyon City Card offered by the Tourist Office very convenient to travel by public transport and access many museums.

Two days at the top - I spent two great days. I had taken the City card 24 hours and I optimized my visit. Museum confluence, bicycle, guided boat tour, museum of cinema and miniature, guided walking tour of old Lyon, funicular, visit of Fourvière... You have to prepare well in advance. But super convenient

A very useful card - It has many attractions and is also valid for using public transport. Be careful when you validate your card: from there we start at 24 h (or more depending on which you buy) and you should make a visit plan to optimize your spending. Another Recommendation: the Lyon tourist office is open from Monday to Friday, on other days you can take the card at the affiliated hotels, but you should inform beforehand to avoid wasting hours (or days) of activities.

Good card but better to buy when you arrive - The card itself is great, including most of the sights we wanted to see and an excellent walking tour. However, the process to get the card was very frustrating and time consuming. We purchased the cards in advance and, having arrived at Part Dieu station with suitcases, went to the Part Dieu Westfield shopping centre to collect them as advised. However, we were told that they didn't have enough cards available so sent us on to the nearby Galerie Lafayette (it appeared that they had cards to purchase but not for those who had bought them in advance). The staff at Galerie Lafayette then sent us back to the Wesfield Centre as they did not provide cards for those who had purchased them in advance - they did have them available to purchase though. We were then told we would have to go to the Tourist Office at Bellecour, which was a metro ride away. Not ideal when part of the reason to get the cards was to include the cost of transport in the city and we had to drag our suitcases round all these locations. We then had a considerable wait at the Tourist Office before we were able to get the cards. I would therefore recommend that if you arrive by train, do not buy the cards in advance as it is quicker and easier just to buy them at Part Dieu when you arrive and also your transport from the station will then be included.
