Bar prices

by manc_jon

Could anyone tell me how much it is for a beer in Lyon? I was shocked by the price of a beer in Paris, is Lyon much cheaper? How much is a beer (250ml or 500ml) in a touristy pub in Lyon? Are there any places in the city that brew their own beer?

Thanks,
Jon

hello Jon,
one of the most famlous spot to drink locally brewed beer is at Ninkasi Kafe, close to Gerland football stadium (metro can lead you there, or you can use the free bicycle velo'V, just in front of bar);
more info and prices on their website: www.ninkasi.fr (in french)
keep also in mind, that, here in Lyon, we are more wine than beer minded!! ;-)
enjoy your stay!
cheers plancarpin

hey there- not sure if you've already been to lyon or not, i lived there for a year whilst studying at the university and found bar prices very expensive- our local pub was 4.50 euros for a pint and if you went somewhere a bit more upmarket you're talking around 8 euros! wine is cheaper and even the house wine is normally excellent. spirits can be very expensive especially when you add mixers. Lyon is a wonderful city, I loved it and really miss it despite the prices! Drink is v cheap in the supermarkets if you're desperate... Have a great time!

Thanks for the reply Jessica, to be honest these were the sort of prices i was expecting. I can live with 4-5 euro for a 500ml beer, better than Paris anyway! I'm going from 24th Sept-1st October with an overnight stay in Annecy. Looking forward to it, only been to Paris and Lille in France before!

Travel Tips for Lyon

see the National Opera House....

by Fam_Stoica

see the National Opera House. The first five levels are below ground and the six top levels are housed within a vaulted glass superstructure which translates one of the major concepts of the design - transparency.

Lyon has had an Opera House for over three hundred years and, since 1993, the immense new glass structure which crowns the building has become a landmark in the city center, between the Rhône river and City Hall. On the same site as the theaters by Soufflot (1756) and later Chenavard and Pollet (1831), the building now benefits from the very strong architectural signature of Jean Nouvel.

Lyon is accessible by train. ...

by miaou

Lyon is accessible by train. The TGV (fast train) from Paris is only two-hour ride. Lyon also has an airport. I find it easier to take the train because it goes straight into the city.
Lyon is quite small - you can go by foot! However, you can get around by bus or the Metro (underground/subway.) The catch is you have to buy the Metro ticket from the vending machine and punch the ticket in the machine yourself to validate the ride. Or you can buy a day pass from the transport office at Bellecour.

Escape from the grayness of the city...

by Natrix

Not that Lyon was a "gray" city, but sometimes I wish there were more green spots. Well, the major, huge green spot in Lyon is the Parc de la Tete d'Or, one of the largest parks of its kind in France with an artificial lake in the middle. When the weather is nice, it's a great place for a picknick, to play Frisbee or just have a sieste in the sun. It's also a great place for kids. There's some animals to see (deer, goats, geese, but also giraffes, elephants and a lion) and a botanical garden, all at free access. Beware, it can get quite crowded at times!

Much like the streets of San Francisco

by iNorv9

Take a hike up the steep streets and walkways lined with distinctly tall, colorful and red-roofed buildings. Or you can cheat and take the metro to the Croix Rousse station. Either way, you?ll be rewarded with a nice view of Fourviere Hill to the south.
