Despite being the fifth-largest city in France, the centre of Lille is small enough to walk round and, unless you choose to visit Villeneuve-d'Ascq on the outskirts, you won't even need to use the city's efficient métro system. The tourist office is in place Rihour (Mon-Sat 9.30am-6.30pm, Sun & public hols 10am-noon & 2-5pm; tel 03.20.21.94.21, fax 03.20.21.94.20), ten minutes' walk from the station along rue Faidherbe and through place du Théâtre and place du Général-de-Gaulle.
