I've booked flights to Lyon for easter weekend, Friday to Sunday. Just wondering if anyone would have any tips regarding things to do, decent cheap restaurants, pubs etc.? Thanks in advance

There is a good open-top bus tour from Place Bellecourt (which is pretty well the centre) that shows you a lot and enables you to get your bearings. Lots of interesting things to see, including the old city (medieval buildings, etc) and Roman remains.

Many believe that Lyon is the gastronomic capital of France. A very famous and affordable restaurant: http://www.bistrotsdecuisiniers.com/fr/leon-de-lyon.php. The site also gives links to other places that should be good. Easter weekend is likely to be busy, so it might be worth booking before you travel.
