Well worth visiting this WW1 memorial.. it is only about 10 minutes walk from main square. Apart from all the graves of the commonwealth soldiers who lost their lives there are also some German prisoner of war graves...

Enter one of the most secret place of military history, and discover a real underground town, where more than 20 000 soldiers of the Commonwealth prepared the most surprising attack of WW1.

A must see! Visited here on a quiet Sunday in September after a visit to Point Du Jour cemetery to see a grave of a relative who fought in Arras in the first world war. We came here after wanting to experience a little of what they went through during that time. We were not disappointed. We had a friendly greeting upon entering, reasonably priced and waited 20 minutes for the next tour, and was then set up with a helmet and audio guide in the desired language. Were were then greeted by our excellent tour guide who flicked between French and English to accommodate the group and took us 20 metres underground listening to the audio guide and tour guide which worked perfectly. It was a great experience, very informative and would definitely recommend.

We ended up in Arras because we wanted to visit Vimy Ridge. Luckily we had time to wander the streets of Arras to view the (mostly rebuilt) old town and the stunning square. Photos don't do it justice. A very impressive square made charming by the bakeries, shops and restaurants lining it. Enjoy some refreshments and watch the world go by...

Stunning view of the city. For those who are afraid of heights it was an easy climb. A great deal if you combine the ticket with the Boves tour.

The place to be in Arras really. Lovely big square, surrounded by beautiful architecture. There are restaurants, cafes and bars all around the square, a lovely place to sit and people watch. They have a market on a Wednesday morning and we discovered, much to our shock, that once a month they have an air raid siren in memory of the war which scared the life out of us because we didnt know about that. Makes you realise how scary that must have been. There is a lot to do around here and the tourist information centre (and the town hall) is on this square which has some caves underneath that you can visit (sadly we didnt have time) and you can also go up the belfry. Beautiful place in the sunshine.
