The Journey: Oslo (OSL) to Lyon (LYS)

Connecting the Norwegian capital to the Rhône valley is a comfortable journey.

• Departure from Gardermoen: Your trip begins at Oslo Airport (OSL). As a world-class facility, OSL ensures a smooth start. We recommend utilizing the Flytoget airport express for a punctual arrival.
• Flight Duration: A direct flight (often available during winter and summer peaks) typically takes approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes. If traveling via a connection, we prioritize routes that keep the total travel time efficient.
• Arrival in Saint-Exupéry: You will land at Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport (LYS). It is a stunning architectural marvel designed by Santiago Calatrava. Located about 25 kilometers east of the city, it offers a dedicated express tram (Rhônexpress) that connects you to the city center in under 30 minutes.

Destination: Lyon – The Capital of Gastronomy

Lyon is a city that engages all the senses, famous for its history, lights, and incredible food.

• A Foodie’s Paradise
  Lyon is the home of the late Paul Bocuse and is revered as the world's gastronomic capital. You must eat at a traditional "Bouchon"—small, family-run bistros serving hearty local dishes like quenelles and praline tarts. The Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse market is a legendary spot for high-quality produce.
• History and Traboules
  The district of Vieux Lyon (Old Lyon) is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is famous for its "Traboules"—secret covered passageways used by silk merchants (and later Resistance fighters) to move between buildings. Exploring these hidden corridors is a unique Lyonnais experience.
• Gateway to the Alps
  For many of our clients searching for Oslo to Lyon, the city is the landing point for a ski holiday. Lyon is the strategic gateway to the French Alps, with major resorts like Courchevel, Val Thorens, and Chamonix easily accessible by shuttle or rental car.

Practical Travel Tips for Norwegians

1. Transport: The city has an excellent public transport system, including metro, trams, and funiculars that climb the steep hills to the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière.
2. Currency: France uses the Euro (EUR). Card payments are widely accepted, but cash is appreciated in smaller cafes.
3. Fête des Lumières: If you plan to visit in early December for the famous Festival of Lights, book your flights and hotel months in advance, as the city fills up completely.
4. River Cruising: Lyon sits at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers. A boat cruise offers a relaxing way to see the modern Confluence district and the historic center.
