Perfect for quick access to public transport and access to museums We went to the silk museum and vice versa museum of confluences. We have used public transport on many occasions: bus, metro and trams. In short, very happy to have had the pass.

Great city pass to have to make getting around the city happen with ease. I will say, understanding the card use is based on time, not days, is important to understand as it might impact a hurried trip to the train or plane.

Our guide was friendly and welcoming. Brilliantly informed about history and art of Toulouse, and passionate about the role her city plays in the present and the future. This was the best walking tour I have ever joined.

Excellent option, for two days we used all the type of transport required (metro, bus, cable car, etc) covered the entrance of the main tourist attractions, highly recommended

It was easy to use the Lyon city pass and a good financial deal. I’m glad I bought it.
