While Lyon isn’t as expensive as Paris, it’s still not the most affordable city out there. If you’re coming to Lyon for a three-day trip on your own, you’ll need $975. Set aside $1,660 if you’re with a travel partner and $2,145 if you’re traveling as a family of four.
Hotel prices in the city center vary between $350 and $890 (on average, $440 per night). Past travel data suggests that you should set aside $105 per day for eating out and public transportation.
While budget figures based on previous travelers’ experiences are highly useful when it comes to planning your own expenses, always check out the latest data before you actually visit any place, including Lyon.
