Lyon City Card Tickets

About this experience

Plan several parts of your Lyon visit with the Lyon City Card, combining museum benefits, selected guided tours and river cruises, public transport and city discounts. Choose a 24-, 48-, 72- or 96-hour card to match the length of your stay. The pass becomes active when you first use it at an included attraction or on public transport, rather than simply when you collect it. Book the duration that fits your actual plans, then check each benefit’s reservation requirements and opening arrangements before setting your itinerary. Choose consecutive hours from first use The card’s duration is measured in consecutive hours after activation. A 48-hour card first used on Friday at 2pm remains valid until Sunday at 2pm; it is not limited to two calendar dates ending at midnight. The one-, two-, three- and four-day booking labels correspond to the advertised 24-, 48-, 72- and 96-hour choices. Consider when you will make your first journey or attraction visit, because that use starts the clock. The card is personal and cannot be shared between travellers, so choose the correct ticket quantity and eligible visitor category for your party. Museum and cultural benefits across Lyon The advertised card benefits include museums such as Musée des Confluences, the Museum of Fine Arts and the Lumière Museum, alongside cultural places including Gadagne and Lugdunum. Mini World Lyon and other activities are also listed in the benefit programme. These examples can help you build a varied visit around the city, but the programme’s current terms apply to each venue. A card benefit does not guarantee that a museum is open on every day of your stay or that every special activity is available without booking. Check closing days and the actual entitlement before adding a stop to your plans. Tours, cruises and discounts Selected guided walks and river cruises are part of the card programme, with discounts offered for other activities and performances. Guided walking tours require advance reservation through the tourist office, so reserve an available visit rather than assuming you can join any departure by showing the card. Benefits and discounts are different: a discounted activity can still require a separate payment. Evening programmes from Lyon City Bus and Les Bateaux Lyonnais are excluded from this ticket, along with group services on request. Read the selected service’s conditions to avoid mistaking a daytime benefit for a different evening experience. Travel on Lyon’s public transport Unlimited travel on Lyon’s metro, tram, bus and funicular network is included during the chosen validity period. This can help connect museums, neighbourhoods and the riverfront without buying a separate ticket for every journey. Validate the card on the transport readers for each journey, including transfers, and keep it with you while travelling. The published conditions exclude public transport access on 1 May. Do not assume airport transfers or transport outside the advertised network are included. Match the card’s activation time with your sightseeing plans so that both the transport and attraction benefits fit within its validity. Prepare your card and reservations After booking, follow the voucher instructions for the card’s starting or collection arrangements and any required identification. Review the current benefit programme, reserve guided visits where needed and check the opening days of the museums you want to see. A mini guidebook is listed with the card and can help organise the visit. Choose a manageable route instead of treating the number of benefits as a promise that you can complete them all. The card works best when its actual inclusions suit your interests and schedule; separately purchased tours or attraction tickets remain useful alternatives when you want one specific experience. More to explore in Lyon Plan another part of your visit with Musée des Confluences tickets or Lyon guided food tour tickets. These are separate bookings, so check their own ticket details and allow time between activities.
