Musée des Confluences
A science and society museum in a spectacular building where the rivers meet: fossils, ethnography, the history of life.
Plan two hours; children love the natural history section.
-
Aquarium de Lyon
Sharks, rays and tropical fish a few minutes south of Confluence, sized just right for young children.
Combine it with the Musée des Confluences on the same day.

Roman theatres & Lugdunum museum
Two Roman theatres on Fourvière hill, still used for summer concerts, and a museum about Lugdunum, the Roman city.
The Nuits de Fourvière festival holds concerts here in June and July.
