There can't be too many places in the world like this where you can roam and explore for free, the site is amazing, in good condition, there are security guards patrolling the area to ensure that the public look after and respect this valuable piece of history.

It's an amazing site - you sit in the ruins and can imagine the Roman's using the theatres and it's great that they are still used today. Well worth a spot to rest and enjoy

Two theaters right next to each other, and still in use! It's an amazing site, even if you've seen other Roman ruins. Really fascinating!

These are great to see. It is very convenient to take the tram up to the Roman theaters and then walk to the Basilica for a nice view over Lyon.
