Begin with Vieux Lyon
Vieux Lyon lies between the Saône and Fourvière and includes the Saint-Georges, Saint-Jean and Saint-Paul areas. Use these areas to organise your walk rather than treating the old town as one stop to rush through.
Some traboules pass through private property. Follow posted access instructions and respect closed doors and residents. A passage marked on a map should not be treated as automatically open to visitors.
Plan the climb to Fourvière
Métro line D serves Vieux Lyon, and the funicular provides a route towards Fourvière. Check current operating information and the correct platform before travelling, especially if you plan the visit around a specific connection.
Decide whether you want to include the hillside in your day and choose a route that suits your mobility. Allow time for the return journey instead of planning only the ascent.
A suggested two-day order
For day one, you could focus on the old-town areas and continue towards Fourvière if time and access suit you. Keep room in the schedule to explore streets rather than trying to visit every passage.
Use day two for another part of the city that matches your interests. Check the route from your accommodation and the current transport information before departure, keeping food stops and paid visits as separate booking decisions.
