The Lille City Pass is one of several tourist board-sponsored passes to France’s regional cities. It’s a value-priced, inclusive pass for more than 25 of the best museums and cultural heritage sites in this northern French town on the Belgian border. Unlimited use of the city busses, metro, and tramway is also included.
The pass is available for 24, 48, or 72 consecutive hours, and is activated the first time you use it. The 72-hour pass includes an additional 11 sites in the Nord-Pas de Calais region, as well as unlimited regional trains on the TER network. The Lille City Pass has no affiliation with CityPASS which operates in the United States and Canada.

What’s Good?
The bus tour gets high marks from visitors for giving a good overview of the city and all the top tourist destinations.
What Could get better?
There are no skip-the-line privileges with the Lille City Pass.
Get Your Money’s Worth
A two-day pass is only €10 more, so if you’ll be in town for more than one day, it’s worth the extra cost and you won’t have to pack as much sightseeing into one day to get the full value of the pass.
Insider Tips
Most museums are closed on Mondays, and some on Tuesdays, too.
The first weekend in September there is a city-wide flea market, which is a great time to visit, but most museums close for that weekend.
