This is a place that needs more than a day to get round and see all the sights. There is something for everyone. Good amount of shops, great buildings to admire and quirky statues and monuments everywhere. A good selection of restaurants and plenty of very attractive ladies to boot. Definitely worth a re-visit.

Lyon is a really nice town. It has an old part where you should definitely go. But also a huge park with animals where you can go and relax at any time. The food is probably the best in this city. And for the girls, there are thousands of shops! You can find photos on my profile.

seems important for me to mention for those big shoppers that not only sundays but mondays seem to be a day were all stores are closed execpet maybe downtown and part dieu mall,.. but maybe thats a normal thing in francce i dont know.. so pay attention, but is in my opinum a perfect dayy to visit historicall places in lyon which there are many i named the top ten in my profile:) ohh also on mondays supermarkets are open..

if you're on the way to the south of france lyon is a good place to have a "pit-stop" for a day or two, iff possible visit a game of OL

I had some friends from overseas visiting and as a surprise, I took them to meet some friends in Lyon (which is only 4 hours by train which is why we nick-named the trip "Breakfast in France"). It was rather grey and the sun didn't come out all day but we went up to the cathedral, walked through the arts market and had a very good lunch at one of the street cafés. It was a very great day and Lyon is certainly worth visiting (maybe not on a Sunday, though... all shops were closed).
