A City Built from the Sea
Founded by the Phocaeans in 600 B.C., the long history of Marseille has produced an interesting and dynamic port-side city bursting with cultural diversity. Watch the fishermen sell their catch by auction at Vieux Harbor or cruise along the Corniche roads with views of the Calanques, dramatic rocky inlets to the sea.
The le Cours Julien and la Plaine areas provide a trendy hangout and every Thursday and Saturday morning, the Plaine market offers its various wares. This is the area to buy a novel from a hip bookshop or watch your kids on one of the playgrounds. There are also plentiful cafes to sip a cappuccino and watch the world go by.
If a culture packed vacation is on the agenda, the Musée d'Archéologie Méditerranéenne, Notre Dame de la Garde and Palais Longchamp won’t disappoint. The unique Unité d'Habitation, designed by famous architect Le Corbusier, contains everything from a shopping street to housing and has spectacular views of the terracotta landscape that makes Marseille so distinctive.

Old port feeling.
Old port feeling. Food excellent within walking distance. On-off bus tour marvelous in that it gave us an idea of old town and history there and how much more to see. Sorry no time for Historic museum

A tour of "notre dame de la garde" is mandatory.
A tour of "notre dame de la garde" is mandatory. One can see the whole city from there.
Also like having lunch at the escale borely by the sea.
Concert on stade vélodrome was incredible.
Vieux port is getting nicer and nicer.
Don't be shocked with some areas of the city less clean and more cosmopolite. No real danger people do respect tourist and care about them although a tourist shall always be alert abroad.

Marseille is a very interesting and lively city.
Marseille is a very interesting and lively city. I really enjoyed the history museum and walking around the Vieux Port and the fortifications. There isn't much charm, however, and the historical sites are minimal due to the destructions the city has experienced.

A City that is easy to walk in and get public transportation. Not too crowded. A nice outdoor market. Enough museums, churches and sites for a week long stay. Plenty of restaurants.
Dog owners should be more conscientious with cleaning up.

Marseilles is a place with lots of potential trying to recover from bad press. The Old Fort area is worth a visit and we had a great, well priced very French meal at one of the restaurants on the waterfront

Marseille is never boring.
Marseille is never boring. Tons of history,cultural diversity and plenty to experience! The restaurants, beaches, markets,and vibrant spontaneity of the town is extraordinary! We wish to return. We highly recommend a visit to this city in the sun!
“The location. Just a few steps away from Marseille Gare Saint Charles train station. very clean and comfortable. A plus to have a kitchen and a fridge!”
“Good location at the busy Vieux Port, still very quiet, spacious and clean, well functioning airco, close to grocery shops and restaurants, friendly staff, 24h guard at the door.”
“This is the best location we've stayed at for our entire trip. It's the perfect location if you're looking for a great view and close proximity to buses and an underground station. It's also in between great restaurants and across from Vieux Port. Definitely ask for a room with a view. The breakfast was great as well. It's only a 10-15 minute bus ride from the beach.”
“The hotel is very close to subway and bus stations and the old port of Marseille. It was pretty easy to find restaurants nearby. The staff was quite friendly.”
