Nice funiculaire that leads to the top of the hill where the main church is and a very nice view of the city. The ride is short and mostly in the dark, but it saves you a lot of walking The Funiculaire de Lyon is conveniently included in the city transport day pass, which is nice for those who've already purchased it. However, it's important to note that it isn't a scenic tram ride, as the majority of the tracks are in a tunnel, offering little to see during the ascent. The main novelty lies in the engineering of the funicular and its steep slope vehicle cabin. The real highlight is reaching the top to visit attractions such as the Jean Baptiste Cathedral and lookout from the peak. Despite the lack of views during the ride, the destination and the unique transportation experience make it worthwhile. The Funiculaire is a practical and charming way to reach the Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourvière and the Saint-Jean Cathedral! Additionally, it's included in the city's transportation network, making it a convenient option for exploring Lyon. The funicular runs frequently and costs around €3.80 per person, which is reasonable. It is definitely a better option than the very steep climb to the top. The views from the top are well worth it, and the station is tidy and well maintained. Easy to access funicular to get to the top. Has ramps and elevator to allow wheelchair/ pram access. Easy to buy tickets from machine prior to boarding. Has English option within the machine. Very well organized. Easy access for wheelchair. The ticket is a bit expensive but since you can use it for other transports in the city is fine. PICKPOCKETS territory! Don’t except help from anyone by the ticket machines that’s were it’s starts to identify if you are have cards on you. They will tell you the tap and pay isn’t working so you have to produce a to get a ticket. Once you have been identified young girls will start to stand very close to you as you queue. Some wear face masks. When you step onto the tram one or two will start asking you about the train and block your forward space - this is when they will take your wallet and leave the train and before they have left the station some is waiting with a reader. They will try for over €1000 on the first go and reduce the amounts from there. If that doesn’t work they will go to the shop next door. Luckily I only carry one travel with me when out and about with only €200 loaded at a time. I realised what had happened very quickly and froze my card. So they just got an old purse and a bit of cash. But it could have been much worse. I’ve made this a five star review in the hopes people will read it. The ride itself is the best way to get to the see the area. Major pick pocket area never I repeat never allow anyone to say the machine is broken and show you another machine. They work as a group. 3 at a time. Distract and influence you to use your card. Watch where you then store after. Then distract further as you get on the train to steal the wallet . Do not be distracted or allow anyone to divert you. Use the machine as normal to buy your ticket and let no one see. Keep hands on everything at all times. Security is non existent and only there when quieter. Plus don’t care if you do report. Within 2 minutes of being stolen had tried to access a lot of money .luckily we realised and stopped all cards with 1 minute.
