How to choose the right ticket

• Want “classic art + city context”: choose the Museum of Fine Arts + city audio bundle (you get both in one booking). :contentReference[oaicite:23]{index=23}
• Want one modern, big-impact museum: book Musée des Confluences (fast-track style entry listed). :contentReference[oaicite:24]{index=24}
• Want something different (and good for teens): do Cinema & Miniatures in Vieux-Lyon. :contentReference[oaicite:25]{index=25}

Reality check: several of these products are listed as non-refundable, so only book fixed dates/times you’re confident about. :contentReference[oaicite:26]{index=26}

Planning tips (timing, walking, and energy)

• Do one “anchor” museum first: either Fine Arts (centre) or Confluences (south). Then keep your second stop lighter.
• Build in a river walk: Lyon’s riverside quays are ideal between museums—helps reset your brain after gallery time.
• Beat weekend peaks: for Cinema & Miniatures, the listing suggests avoiding 2:00pm–5:00pm on weekends. :contentReference[oaicite:27]{index=27}
• Download audio in advance: the Fine Arts bundle recommends downloading the audio guide ahead of time on a stable connection. :contentReference[oaicite:28]{index=28}
