Lille is a beautiful destination in northern France close to the Belgium border and it’s worth a visit if you plan to explore more than the busy capital. Lille International Airport is located only 10 km south of the city centre and you can head directly from Lille Airport to the city centre by taking an airport taxi or the bus.
Taking an airport taxi is the most convenient option to get from Lille Airport to Lille and reach your accommodation directly. You’ll find taxis available at the airport 24/7 but an even better solution is to pre-book an airport taxi and have a driver waiting for you as soon as you land. The average fare for a standard taxi is €25 depending on the time of day and day of the week, and it’s only a 15-minute drive to the city centre.
When it comes to public transport, even though Lille has a good bus and train network, there is no direct connection from Lille Airport to the Lille train station or the downtown area by public bus or train. The best alternative to an airport taxi is the shared airport shuttle bus operated by Flibco. It provides a direct connection from Lille Airport to the city centre in only 20 minutes and costs €8 per traveller, making it a great value-for-money option.
Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Lille at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.
