Some tips for driving in Lyon
Lyon is beautiful and very inviting, but it is also an extremely busy city with plenty of traffic jams.
Personally, when I come to visit a certain city, I prefer to get around either on foot or by public transportation. French cities are certainly blessed with quite convenient public transportation that can take us anywhere we want, certainly to selected tourist areas.
It is recommended not to rent a car for your stay in the city, but only when you decide to travel from there to other destinations. The city, and especially the center, is characterized by a parking problem and quite exorbitant parking prices.
Also, the supervision in the city is extremely tight, and if you accidentally park in a parking lot without paying for it, there is almost no chance of not getting a report, even if it is for just a few minutes.
When it comes to wandering around the city and getting to know the many attractions it offers, I would be happy to recommend you: The next article.
