Lyon is the third largest city in France and one of the most important as a centre of business and industry. There is a balanced blend of history, business and culture in Lyon, making this a great place for a business trip or a cultural getaway. There are a wide variety of museums to visit, from splendid art galleries to more niche museums like the Musée des Confluences with its science and anthropology collection, or the Musée des Automates and its displays of automated puppets. There is something in Lyon for every interest. Hiring a car in Lyon is a great way to get around the city and see all that it has to offer.
While Lyon is known as a business centre throughout Europe, it is also a beautiful city with a number of picturesque parks to explore. A must-visit is the Parc de la Tête d'Or which is the largest municipal park in France and also contains the city’s large botanical gardens. Outside the city, the Fourvière hill with its Catholic Basilica and Roman theatre is a perfect spot to relax, the area is also part of Lyon’s UNESCO World Heritage site. Of course, as you would expect from such a cosmopolitan city, there are plenty of cafes and restaurants in which you can simply sit and relax.
