Founded as a Roman colony, Lyon is attractive still now with an old city where you can wander around the alleys for hours in discovery of charming little corners.
Originally founded as a Roman colony, Lyon became the capital of the Gaul province of the Romans thanks to its strategic location. While it has grown to a population of around half a million inhabitants and the third largest city of Europe, there are still many traces of the past in the attractive city centre. Lyon was founded near the convergence of the rivers Rhône and Saône south of the historic centre, forming a peninsula on which part of the city is built. The oldest part of the city is on the west bank, with the basilica Notre-Dame de Fourvière dominating the city, on top of a hill with the same name. This is also part of the area declared World Heritage Site by Unesco.
