The Lyon City Card… as a family

If you’re coming with kids, the Lyon City Card is a great option for you! Here are just a few of the things you can do with them: discover the fascinating miniature scenes at Mini World Lyon for free; have a giggle at a Guignol puppet show, – an iconic part of local culture; explore dinosaur fossils at musée des Confluences (admission included); gaze at the wonders of underwater life at the Lyon Aquarium (discounted admission); or hop on board a boat for a cruise on the Saône (free with the LCC). Also, make sure you don’t miss our guided tours for children, with puzzles and secrets to keep them busy in Lyon's most characterful neighbourhoods.

If you’re with teenagers, panic not, as there are loads of things for them to do with the Lyon City Card! If they’re obsessed with football, take them to the Olympique Lyonnais Museum (free); if they’re enthralled by fantasy and special effects, you can take them behind the scenes of blockbuster films at the Museum of Cinema and miniatures (discount). You can also take fun and surreal photos at the Museum of Illusions (discount) or share a unique immersive experience with VR headsets at Eclipso (discount), where you can choose from four super-realistic journeys through time and space: sure to please the whole family! 

The Lyon City Card … as a couple

With its two rivers and hills, Lyon offers an ideally romantic setting for a weekend with your sweetheart. The Lyon City Card will help make your stay all the more special by offering memorable experiences to share. You can reach seventh heaven (or almost) with a visit to the roofs of Fourvière Basilica (free with the LCC), where there are breathtaking views of Lyon (so romantic). You can also take a river cruise (included) along the Saône to watch the city roll by arm in arm, in enchanting surroundings. 

When the sun sets, make it a night to remember at the theatre or opera (discounted with the LCC).

The Lyon City Card… with friends 

Travelling with friends is always fun and even more so when you have a wealth of activities to pick from. With the Lyon City Card, you’ll be spoilt for choice! For starters, explore Lyon with an original transport mode: by Segway personal transporter with Comhic or Mobilboard discount), to see who in the gang has the best sense of balance! In the afternoon, you can compare your friends’ complexions with those of the zombies at the all-new exhibition that’s devoted to them at Musée des Confluences (free admission), or give yourself a physical challenge with the toughest tree-climbing trails at Fort de Bron or in Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon. If you fancy taking on a challenge as a team, try an urban escape game in the streets of Lyon and try to solve the puzzles created by Coddy (discounted with the LCC). 

When evening comes, settle down for a drink on a boat or go to a stand-up night at one of the city’s many cafés-théâtres, where you get a discount with the LCC, for an evening of laughter (be prepared to be on the receiving end of some friendly jibes). 

The Lyon City Card… pour les gourmands

If you're visiting Lyon with family, friends or as a couple, and food is at the top of your list, the LCC is also the perfect pass to give your tastebuds a treat! You can combine cultural visits and tastings of local delicacies with Lyon Food Tour (discount), blend your own wine during a workshop at Chai Saint Olive (discount) or taste Beaujolais grape varieties and chocolate pairings with Les Epicurieuses (discount). In the evening, you can enjoy an aperitif platter and drinks on the river Saône with Aperitivos (wine lovers will be delighted as they get a free extra glass with the LCC!).      

How does the Lyon City Card work?
