On the second day of the old lady's solo adventure in Europe, she strolled around Lyon for eight hours

2/21 Lyon CITY WALK day tour, eight hours, 26,500 steps. ⭐Lyon is one of the oldest cities in France. The main urban area is divided into three major parts: the Fourvière Hill on the west side, the old town located on the peninsula between the Rhône and Saône rivers, and the new town area mainly concentrated in the east. ⭐Walking path: Rhône River - Old Town of Lyon - Saône River - Bellecour Square - Lyon Cathedral - Miniature Museum of Cinema - Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière - City Hall Square - Murals of the People of Lyon - Vieux Lyon. ⭐The old town of Lyon is not large, with narrow streets and few pedestrians, very quiet. Lyon has little greenery, apart from the ancient buildings, art, and historical and cultural relics, as well as the two rivers, there are no natural landscapes. Bellecour and other squares are all paved with sand and soil; if there is a strong wind, will it blow up these yellow soils into the sky. ⭐After walking for a day, I particularly liked the Lyon Cathedral and the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, admiring their grandeur and exquisite architecture, as well as the atmosphere inside. ⭐Lyon Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Saint John, began construction in the 12th century on the ruins of a 6th-century church, and after three centuries, was completed in 1476. It is the most majestic church in Lyon. ⭐The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière was built in the 19th century, located on the Fourvière Hill to the west of the cathedral, and is a landmark building of Lyon. Climbing up Fourvière Hill, you can not only visit the Basilica but also overlook the entire city of Lyon. ⭐The overall architecture of Lyon is low and antique, around six stories, with brick-red roofs, uniform in color and height. A few towering modern buildings are located near the Part-Dieu train station. A quiet Lyon, a day's tour is enough. ⭐You can use a credit card on Lyon's buses, which is very convenient. Yesterday, at the bus stop outside the train station, I asked the attendant how to buy a ticket, and for some reason, the attendant said that you can't use a bank card or cash on the bus, and kindly took me to a small shop across the street to buy a ticket. The bus fare is 2 euros, and the shop charges 2.2, with about a 10% handling fee. Today I only took the bus once, the rest was all solid CITY WALK. If you need to take the bus more than four times, buy a day pass, 24 hours for 6.5 euros, which is relatively more cost-effective, and it is said that the day pass can only be bought at the subway station.
