Directions for your Lyon airport transfer

Lyon Airport (LYS), formerly known as Lyon Satolas Airport, is located just outside the city centre of Lyon, the third-largest city in France. The airport serves the entire Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and is one of the most important transportation hubs in France. In order to reach the city centre, your Lyon airport taxi driver will take the main highway D29 to D147 and then turn right onto D302 following signs for Lyon. Your driver will follow this route across both rivers, before turning onto Boulevard Laurent Bonnevay down the side of the Rhône into the city centre. From here, they will take the local city roads to reach your hotel.
