Voice of Travelers to Lyon

Lyon Is the City of Lights

Every year Lyon holds its City of Lights festival, with a ton of great events and light shows. I was able to arrange two first class tickets with Aegean Airlines for my husband and I to visit Lyon during this year's festival. Our flight out to Lyon on first class tickets was great. We are used to flying on first class tickets, but Aegean Airlines provides the highest quality service and food. For the festival, the entire city puts candles in their windows, and the the sky was lit up by dancing floodlights. We bought tickets to a bunch of the events during the day and evening.

World Class Cuisine in Lyon

French cuisine is famous around the world, and the cuisine in Lyon is the best in all of France. I am a big fan of fine dining, and I was really looking forward to using my ticket to Lyon to enjoy delicious French food in the best city in France. I bought a ticket with Aeroflot when they were on sale, and I was very impressed by the awesome service that they provided. I spent a whole week in Lyon just touring the different restaurants and trying different classic French dishes. All the food was so great that I did not want to leave. I am already saving up for another ticket to try the cuisine in Lyon again.

Lyon Is the Center of Culture

When most people think of going to France, they automatically think of buying tickets for Paris. However, Lyon is also an incredible French city that is full of art, museums, landmarks and history. Lyon was often the capital of France during its long history, so it rivals Paris as a center for French culture and a destination for tourist tickets to France. I bought a ticket with Air Canada to Lyon to meet some friends from university out there. The flight out was great, and they made sure that I was comfortable for the very long flight from Toronto. In Lyon we bought tickets for different museums and churches, as well as a ticket for a bus tour of various historical sites in Lyon.
