Price calculated. Change the date or destination if you like.
A private transfer from Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (LYS) to Lyon city centre costs €80 per car for 1–3 passengers and €100 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 39 km; the drive takes about 35 min with clear roads, so plan on 35–50 min at busy times.
Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the terminal your flight lands at (Terminal 1 or Terminal 2), just after the baggage reclaim, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.
Lyon sits at the confluence of the Rhône and the Saône, with the Presqu'île, the hill of Fourvière and the UNESCO-listed Vieux Lyon. The airport lies about 25 km east of the centre, reached by the A43 and the A42 or the boulevard périphérique. The Presqu'île and Vieux Lyon contain pedestrian streets and tram lines, so cars stop on the closest open quay or street. Traffic at the Fourvière and Croix-Rousse tunnels builds up in rush hours, and the Fête des Lumières in December brings road closures.
The Presqu'île, the peninsula between the Rhône and the Saône, is the central district, with the large Place Bellecour and the Place des Terreaux, where the town hall and the fine arts museum stand. The pedestrian Rue de la République connects the two. Across the Saône, Vieux Lyon has the Saint-Jean cathedral, Renaissance houses and the traboules, passages through buildings, and the funicular climbs to Fourvière. Part-Dieu, the business district on the east bank of the Rhône, has the main railway station. The Fête des Lumières on 8 December fills the streets.
Public transport instead: Rhônexpress tram-train Rhônexpress from Aéroport Lyon-Saint-Exupéry to Lyon Part-Dieu — about 28–30 min, every 15 min in the day.
