Solo travel

One of my favorite cities for its walkability, public transport, parks, art and multiculturalism. So many free events and music! It’s a university city so there’s a liveliness to it and people are friendly.

Solo travel

I spent 5 amazing days in Lyon last month! I loved cute narrow streets in Vieux Lyon, amazing cathedrals and chapels, the vibe of the city, the people💜 The food was amazing too, but as I’m not a foodie, I can’t say much, mostly tried the cheese and I looove it!! I can definitely recommend it for solo travelling, looks quite safe and has places to visit. Also, winter is probably not the best time to visit as it was quite rainy, but I enjoyed it anyway. P.S. if you go to Musee de Confluence,...

Couple travel

My overall experience in Lyon was very good. I stayed at an Airbnb with my boyfriend and we stayed there for 12 days. I would say 12 days is more than enough to experience the city but we wanted a very laid back and chill vacation as to why we stayed so long. I felt very safe but that could also be because I was with my boyfriend all of the time as I know there are plenty of areas in Lyon that my female friends have not felt so safe in.

Solo travel

I love Lyon! Probably one of my favourite places to travel in. I always felt safe, there’s so much to do, getting around is a breeze and the city is just STUNNING. Can’t recommend it enough and think it’s a great place to explore what French culture is all about

It is very safe, I live here for university, I go out during day and during night for parties and I don’t feel insecure. Maybe you risk some catcalling… but be careful, don’t let this message make you less prudent. Exceptions can happen.

Lyon is generally quite safe overall, but be careful around the Guillotière area, Mas du Taureau, and Vénissieux! Otherwise, overall it's fine and pretty decent, people are cool :) I recommend you at least visit Vieux Lyon, Bellecour, and Lyon Part Dieu.

It’s a touristic city so it’s generally safe and people can help you. But there are some places to avoid like : « Guillotière » or « Venissieux ». There often are the police around the city so don’t worry it’s a big city.

Lyon is safe in general, except for the places "la Guillotière" (fighing, trafic, drugs), "Perrache" (drugs at night), "les etats unis" You should not take the T4 (tramway) by night (drugs, fighting, strange people) Of course it's a big city, there are really cool and safe places at night too (le Vieux Lyon, the touristic place, is safe and there are a lot of restaurants and bars all night so you're not alone)
