See, visit, discover…
Visit the Fine-Arts museum for an afternoon of cultural exploration; the buildings and art collections make it the second most important museum in France, just after the Louvre.
Explore the Citadel, designed by the legendary architect and military strategist Vauban; it is a vast and complex network nicknamed the “Queen of the Citadels”.

September is a great time to visit, as you can catch the grand second-hand market, but there is also the Christmas market in late December and the Wazemmes Carnival in March.
- How to get around?
There are two metro lines and two tramway lines, 60 bus lines and over a hundred taxis circulating in Lille. If you would rather be an independent traveller, you can rent a Transpole bicycle, a motorised e-bike, or even a Segway!
