Local knowledge for Lyon
Where to stay
Guillotière, on the east bank near Métro Guillotière (line D), is where most budget travelers land: cheap Vietnamese and North African food, walkable to the Presqu'île, and well connected. If you want a local feel over convenience, the lower slopes of Croix-Rousse around Boulevard de la Croix-Rousse put you close to the morning market and away from tour groups.
Getting around
- A TCL carnet of 10 tickets (a modest sum) beats single-ride fares if you're taking more than 4 trips a day. The Funiculaire up to Fourvière uses the same ticket as the metro.
- The traboules, Lyon's network of passageways cutting through apartment blocks in Vieux-Lyon and Croix-Rousse, are free to walk. Skip the paid guided versions and just follow the numbered plaques on the doors.
- Les Halles Paul Bocuse on Cours Lafayette is worth a lap for the display, but eat at the Marché de la Croix-Rousse instead. Tuesday through Sunday mornings, vendors sell rotisserie chicken, cheese ends, and hot tartiflette for a few euros.
When to go
Hostels are cheapest in January and February, and fill up fast from late June through August when school groups and French domestic tourists arrive.
