Lyon City Card 1-Year Pass

The Lyon City Card 1-Year Pass: A Gateway to Lyon’s Culture All Year Round

Discovering Lyon can’t be done in just one visit. For both locals and frequent visitors, the Lyon City Card 1-Year Pass (formerly known as Lyon City Card 365) has become an essential tool to explore the city’s rich cultural and historical heritage at their own pace. Valid for one year from its first use, this pass offers the freedom to experience Lyon in depth, throughout the seasons.

Designed as a cultural passport, the Lyon City Card 1-Year Pass provides access to many of the city’s iconic sites: over 25 museums (including the Musée des Confluences, the Museum of Fine Arts, and the Institut Lumière), guided thematic tours led by professional guides, river cruises on the Saône, performances, and even more unusual experiences like visiting the rooftops of the Basilica of Fourvière or the Miniature and Cinema Museum. The offer is varied, accessible, and regularly updated to meet the expectations of all audiences.

In practical terms, the card includes access to three activities of your choice (such as museums, shows, cruises, or artisan demonstrations), plus one guided tour from a wide selection offered by the Tourist Office. It also provides discounts at numerous partner venues, including theatres, cinemas, festivals, and shops. It’s the perfect way to make the most of Lyon’s cultural offerings while saving money from the very first uses.

Unlike the shorter versions of the Lyon City Card (valid for 1, 2, 3, or 4 days), this one does not include public transportation, but it is especially suited to residents and regular visitors who prefer to space out their experiences over time. It is also becoming increasingly popular with company committees, who see it as an original and enriching gift for employees.

Finally, it's worth noting that the entire technical architecture of the Lyon City Card 1-Year Pass is powered by Otipass, a digital service provider specializing in cultural and tourism passes. Otipass is responsible for managing access, digitalizing services, and ensuring a smooth user experience—particularly through the mobile app and the digital ecosystem surrounding the card.
