Lyon - Getting There

LYON

As we were saying each week we will look at one city. The posts will be of varying content from travel, college to food and pubs to hit in the city. As announced this week its Lyon, France.

It is known as the culinary capital of France. If you are planning on going here for erasmus, one thing is for sure you will definately eat well!!But we will come to that in a later post.

So what information have you been given already, do you know your dates yet?When are you going to get there? How are you going to get there? Where will I start....what will I organise first??

Well first off you'll be delighted to know that both Ryanair and Aerlingus fly there from Dublin and Aerlingus also fly from Belfast. Ryanair of course does'nt exactly get you into the center of Lyon - you will arrive in Grenoble which is about 1.30 mins drive from Lyon.

Ryanair - Grenoble
Dublin - Liverpool - London - Edinbourgh - Stolkholm

The bus alone from Lyon will take you about an hour and a half and will cost you around Euro - 20. The other way of getting there is by train - and then bus it from grenoble city center - but the airport is 4o kms form the city center!!!Bus will cost you about 4 euro and the train 10 - 15!!

Aerlingus - St. Expury (Lyon)

St. Exupery, Lyon's main airport is only 40 mins away from Lyon city center (Part Dieu) and will cost you about Euro - 7 for more info see this link -

But it will cost you more to fly with the main airlines because of the airport tax here!!

So these are the main ways of getting there....

Next up ...Quick overview of the city itself!!
