5.00The card is truly convenient and cost-effective. Used on public transport a lot, as well as in museums.
A great deal.

5.00A great value for the money. We went to two museums, used the metro and tram and went on the river cruise. The city card worked out great for us!
If not doing tours skip this card

2.00Don’t recommend this if you aren’t going to take advantage of the tours. It isn’t clearly explained that you have to go pick up a physical card to use the transport. Thanks to generous and kind local folks at the metro we got through the gate when we tried unsuccessfully to scan the QR code we got by email that sounded like the way to use the metro. Repeat difficulty with the Rhone Express airport return, where the conductor didn’t like the QR code that the tourist office person said was all we would need. In retrospect we wished we’d bought the tickets at the kiosks and skipped the city card. We ended up only going to one museum and the priority access was nice.
Basic idea perfect, individual events but mau

4.00The basic idea is perfect, use of all TCL means of transport, cost savings on e.g. museums and hop on hop off etc. HOWEVER, the city tour is a horror. Boat trip is ok.
Perfect!

5.00I was very well advised for organizing my visits over 3 days. the agent who received me showed a lot of patience and kindness. I left with a 72-hour Lyon only pass, ideal for me and very economical considering all the free tours included that I did
Convenient

5 passes over 3 days...

3.00We bought 5 3-day cards over the Internet (there was a small discount): 3 adults and 2 children. We were in Ternay; it's not far from Lyon, but we had to go to the P+R car park in Vénissieux. The pass allows you to travel free of charge by public transport in Lyon, but you had to take a family ticket (€7) to pick up the passes at the tourist office, Place Bellecour. It is a pity that these maps do not allow to use public transport near Lyon. Main criticism: end of July and beginning of August, few guided tours available on our dates. Museum of Contemporary Art and 2 closed Guignol shows, etc...This information is not clearly shown on the presentation on the site that presents the map. In fact the choice of activity is limited! You have to wait in line to get a free ticket to the museums...
Lyon has pickpockets. City card only good til 6pm.

3.00Not worth it- delayed incoming flight left us one hour to use the city card. We got to go on one nice boat tour. The tourism office was hard to find. They could not actually secure us a ticket for the boat. We had to race down to kiosk and they charged us for the tickets. All activities close at 5pm or 6pm. Disappointed that we purchased this. Not worth it. Pickpocket interaction on the way to Lyon city center was not cool. Had to call and deal with bank cards afterwards. This segment of our trip was the least satisfactory of our 2 weeks in Europe. Watch u-tube videos on how to prepare yourselves for “pickpockets at train stations”. Only buy this city card if you are arriving early in day.
