Beautiful train station. Lyon airport is located a quite distance from the downtown. I took a taxi…read morefrom the airport in the past (I thought it was about €70) and traveling by train is a great option to have going to the downtown Lyon. Cost was €15 one way. Ticket machine takes cash but the bill has to be €20 or less. I only had €50 and €100 with me at that time, I had to borrow cash from my colleague. They have free wifi but it was a bit weak. Kept getting logged off but managed to send some emails. Train station was very clean, hardly any people. I really liked the designed of the train station, I spent most of the time taking pictures. Speaking on pictures, I was fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the Mont Blanc from here. It is believed that if you can see the Mont Blanc clearly, it is about to rain. Sure enough it rained as soon as we arrived at the downtown Lyon. Train ride was comfortable. They have free wifi on the train, got some work done during a short ride.

Surprisingly not a large station…read more Inside is very modern and clean. At the two entrances were a handful of grab and go food spots. A few more up the escalator to the platforms. The large computerized departure board is at the main entrance over the escalators. Departure platforms are posted 30-45 prior. Make sure when you're on the platform that your train is the one you see. Three trains came and went while waiting for ours. Surprised we didn't pass thru customs coming in or leaving.

Yelp Review 2026 #167:…read more I've gotten used to clean, organized train stations from all the cities and towns I've been to in Switzerland. Gare de Genève Cornavin seemed like I wasn't in Switzerland anymore. It was chaotic and definitely some sketchy characters walking around asking for money. There's no police/ security. Yes, they have a lot of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants at the station. You can also catch buses here. You have to pay attention to which station you need to be catching a bus from (arranged alphabetically but not in consistent order which was frustrating). Catching a bus is nuts. There's about 6 bus lines per station with at least 10 people waiting blocking the entrance to the main train station. It's only quiet here from 9pm-8am. I've caught a bus/ train at different times of the day. The busiest is in the afternoon but it's not like you have much of a choice if you need to be somewhere.

I actually enjoyed that this station was kind of small with the exception that there aren't enough…read moreplaces to sit. However, this is something I've noticed in a lot of train stations, both in the eastern US and where I've been in Europe. We were lucky enough to get seats right away, so we planted down and took shifts getting food and snacks for the train. There are a lot of places to get a snack here, and there are even some stores selling product but the one thing I found odd was that none of the stores sold toiletries. And yes, I went to all the stores, including two of the same store just on opposite sides of the station. Once our track number was posted (and the boards here were clear and large so you could really see where you had to go) it was easy to take the escalator up and wait for your train topside.

Taking the train here from Paris (pre paid tickets months ago), we ended up on the wrong section of the train, actually on the wrong train?!?! They connected two trains together; I guess there was a huge demand today. So where was the sign that said my seats were in the front/first train...? Or in the rear second train...? Of course, now my wife and I are separated... My poor wife sat next to a sick coughing person. Glad I keep an extra N95 mask in my bag for emergencies like this. And I sat next to a woman on her phone talking for almost the entire 2 hour train ride... I think her battery and extended battery both died on this ride, lol. And to make matters worse, the people that the seats belonged to had a huge group, standing in the aisles, talking, rubbing their backs against my arm. On the train ride back, we went out of our way to confirm that we were on the correct train and seats! Ambiance - Was good, until we realized that we were in the wrong train and that there were two trains connected to each other. Service - NONE!! When we went to complain, the conductor said just to sit (or stand) anywhere... Good luck Price - 188 Euros, $229 US; not worth it for our experience. And this was a discounted price because we bought months in advance. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.

We were able to get off our flight and make it to the clearly marked Uber pick-up almost immediately. This was really convenient for us as we had to be somewhere a few hours after landing. We noticed quite a few shopping and food options available in the arrivals section so I'm assuming there are a lot to choose from in departures. The airport is quite a bit away from Lyon city center but our Uber ride on a Monday at about 2pm was only 50 euro. You can also certainly make it to the city by tram much cheaper.

I wish I could give 0 stars, since I pre-paid for a service I didn't receive…read more I had a flight due to arrive at 11:30pm. Last Rhônexpress train is at midnight. I wondered if I should buy a ticket in advance, and their English website helpfully noted that if I am on a flight due in before midnight, but it's delayed, they will either hold the last train or arrange alternative transportation. (Yes, I have a screengrab) Of course, my flight is delayed and we get in about 1am. I'm carry-on only and one of the first off the plane so I briskly march out to the train station. Locked down like a vault. Back to the airport (somewhere between 5-10 minutes, depending on how fast you're going and whether travelators are working). I see a tiny screen saying it's done for the night, next train at 5am. Awesome. So why bother putting info on their website reassuring me they would have transport waiting for my delayed flight, when I already paid for a ticket? I had to pay for an expensive taxi into town, and am working to get a refund. This is absolutely shocking and was a horrible way to be "welcomed" to Lyon.

Walk a long line to get your passport stamped and be asked the questions as you walk through customs and into Switzerland, only to walk more to the baggage claim to where you stand a good while to greet your luggage many minutes after your plane has landed and you stress as you think the same thing I always think about, did my luggage actually make it on the plane? Then you breathe a sigh of relief as you walk again to the train station which is a solid walk from the baggage claim as you then take a train into town, or in my case, a train to Lausanne, and then walk again to the train and maybe have to stand on the train because you waited until the ultimate last minute to buy a ticket. At which point you almost wish you had someplace to sit down. Not the best way to greet people into a gorgeous country, but at least things do improve from there (and believe me, they do).
