Lyon, the capital city of the Rhône-Alpes region, is a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts. Start your trip by exploring Lyon's rich history, from its Roman origins to its Renaissance architecture. Visit the ancient Roman theater and the Fourvière Basilica, which offers stunning panoramic views of the city. Take a stroll through Vieux Lyon, the old town, and admire the well-preserved medieval and Renaissance buildings. Don't forget to try some traditional Lyonnais cuisine, such as coq au vin and quenelles, at one of the city's many bouchons (traditional restaurants).
