Place Bellecour is the largest pedestrian square in all of Europe. It has become the hub of activity in Lyon and is one of the busiest places to shop in the city.
The square is where all distances from Lyon are measured which is unsurprising given it is the starting point to many of the most important streets and walks you can do from Lyon.
The Traboules are a hidden network of passageways that wind their way through buildings and courtyards around Lyon.
There are around 400 of these passageways around the city. With over 40 being open to the public.
Hunting down these secret tunnels is one of the essential things to do in Lyon for those who love exploring.
