Honestly, Ainat

Everyone talks about Paris, but Lille is a cute little city to stop in and explore. Everything is close enough to walk to or if you reaaaaly don’t want to walk, jump in an uber/public transport. I’ve visited a fair few times with my partner and have ...

For the arts lovers, this museum is stunning and so affordable (I’m used to London prices) ! Spent a good 2-3 hours inside looking at all the magnificent works. The building itself is also stunning for those interested in architecture. Highly recomme...

Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille

Beautiful park. Free entry. They have a restaurant where you can eat/ drink or you can bring your own lunch and sit on the benches. It is very well maintained and is perfect for a quiet retreat. Highly recommend. 5-10 min walking distance from Lille ...

Jardin des Géants

Very cute and family friendly zoo. Very affordable. Would give yourself 1-2 hours to look around the whole place. Nice on a sunny/hot day.

Zoo de Lille

Going during Nov-Dec? The Christmas market is a cute spot to check out. Plenty of food and stalls to buy souvenirs from. Free entry. More photogenic when the sun has set.

Village de Noël de Lille

Shopping

Apparently a lot of people don’t know there’s a Westfield in Lille. Ahaha lots of great French stores with known international brands. Oh and a massive Carrefour inside. Great place for shopping and I can always find what I can’t find in the UK.

Westfield Euralille

Outdated pictures but I do love Pimkie. I can always find basics with high quality and natural material content. Affordable pricing too. They also have a store inside Westfield but the standalone has more variety. Staff are super friendly.

PIMKIE

Food

Nice spot for a quick breakfast/lunch or catch up. Affordable pricing and very busy. Delicious food but I don’t think you can go wrong with food in France. Attentive staff.

MAMATTE BOULANGERIE CAFÉ, Lille

A few vegan options. Very friendly staff. I had the vegetable curry which was nice, 7/10 decent portion size. I got a matcha too but if you’re used to adding all sorts of bits to matcha and haven’t had it the authentic way - you won’t enjoy 😂 They ...

Hanami Café - Café, bar & école japonaise

Nice quieter spot - with vegan options! I got the avocado toast but it was more of a salad! So much spinach that drowned the bread and avocado. So maybe get something else idk. It was still nice but not quite what I expected.
