Lille Tourist Information & Visitor Guide
Lille is a fantastic mix of old and new. The cobbled old town clustered around the Grand Place is crammed with street cafes, antique shops, museums and galleries in complete contrast to an excellent modern shopping centre at Euralille. Parks and gardens, flea markets and Belgium beer, a lively casino and children’s zoo are all part of the eclectic mix of Lille.
