SP R I NG - S U M M ER 2 0 1 6

PREFACE Hi ! You chose to come to Lyon, our city, and you booked in our hostel. First of all, we wanted to thank you for that ! Welcome ! At Away Hostel & Coffee Shop, our goal is to give you a chance to discover Lyon like a local, through activities we organise and local tips we’d love to share with you. As avid travelers, we know it is not always easy to discover a city like a local. That’s the reasons why we’ve assembled all our team members’ best tips and addresses, to offer an original, simple and design city guide. The goal of this guide is not to be exhaustive. We selected only 3 addresses/activities per category. Now you can save time and money and have a great experience ! Whatever you might be interested in, even if you are travelling in Lyon by yourself, with friends or your partner, it’s all there and up to date : eat in a typical restaurant, discover some world food, have a colorful cocktail, enjoy many different activities in the hostel, dance in a nightclub... The whole team wishes you a great stay in Lyon, and of course we’re at your service if you need any help or extra information. See you soon in Lyon ;-) Away Hostel & Coffee Shop Staff
