Lyon

One-night rail city break to Lyon, France's gourmet capital

Illustration of Lyon

railtour suisse, a Swiss rail tour operator, offers this two-day, one-night city break from Switzerland to Lyon, France. The package includes rail travel and one night in a 3-star Lyon hotel, priced from 339 Swiss francs per person. The evidence does not include a day-by-day itinerary, so specific timings and included meals are not confirmed here. Lyon sits at the confluence of the Rhone and Saône rivers, and its Old Town has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998, with the historic Traboules passageways and the Musée des Beaux-Arts among its features. The city is also known as a capital of gourmet cuisine, with Michelin-starred restaurants, bouchons (traditional Lyon bistros) and the Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse covered market. This short break suits independent travellers who want a quick rail trip focused on food and history rather than a fully guided tour.
