The roman theater was built in 15 bc and then expanded in the 2nd century.
Next to the theater you can find the odeon, which was especially used for music events.
Both are open to visit the whole day (means not when it is dark) and in june and july there are festivities there and some really big concerts. This is a great place and you definatetly have to see it when you are in Lyon.
You can reach it when you go off metro station "Vieux Lyon" by foot or with the Funiculaire.
Our proposals:
- take some food with you and have a picnic while you are enjoying the view.
- if you are romantically minded, take a bottle of wine with you and watch the sunset.
- for those who are interested in history: There is a museum for gallo-roman history in Lyon next to the theater. It is free on Thursdays and on other days only 2€ and something!
