The destination extends beyond Vieux-Lille
Lille Tourism connects the Grand'Place, belfry and historic streets with Euralille, museums, food culture and neighbouring cities across the metropolis. The compact centre is walkable, while metro and tram links make Roubaix, Tourcoing and other cultural sites part of a broader urban stay.
