Basilica of Fourviere: is one of key attractions in Lyon. Enjoying an ideal location on top of the hill, the basilica offers remarkable sights of the city centre.

There are many precious collections from discoveries made in Lyon and throughout the Rhone-Alpes region. Fascinating statues, mosaics, sarcophagi and everyday objects of Gallo-Roman life can also be found here.
Hotel de Ville: boasts extravagant interior with elaborated Baroque-style decor. Famous allegorical frescoes of Thomas Blachet are some of the main highlights here as well as the ‘Grand Salon’, the most magnificent room in this city hall. Go up to the bell tower and admire three original ancient bells alongside a 20th century carillon.
