Things To See & Do

The old harbour, le Vieux Port, is one of the most beautiful areas of Marseille. Get there early to see the 100-year-old fish market, then have breakfast in a little cafe. There’s always lots happening at the marina and from there, you can walk to Fort Saint-Jean and the Romanesque-style Saint-Laurent Church. You might be back to the port area one evening to try a trendy bar or see the performance at Opéra de Marseille. 

A trip to see the Notre Dame de la Garde can’t be missed. This stunning Catholic basilica sees a constant stream of French locals and tourists.

Construction of the iconic building started in 1852 and took 21 years to complete. With a lower church or crypt in the Romanesque style and an upper church of Neo-Byzantine style decorated with mosaics, it is a beautiful sight. A bell tower holds a massive statue of the Madonna and Child made of copper gilded with gold leaf. The interiors include colourful mosaics, statues and murals.

For a fantastic hiking experience The Massif des Calanques is part of a national park where you can walk, kayak, swim, cycle and explore the wonderful surroundings. Book a private tour, hire an experienced guide or make your own way around this beautiful area where you can easily spend a whole day.

Pharo Palace was built in 1858 by Emperor Napoleon III for Empress Eugénie, who later gifted it to the city. It was a medical school for some time and is today used for meetings, fairs, and conferences. The grand old building overlooks the water and has spacious gardens. 

St Victor’s Abbey was founded during the late Roman period. It was named in honour of the local soldier saint and martyr, Victor of Marseilles. The church and crypts at this ancient site are open to the public.

The oldest neighbourhood in Marseille is Le Panier, where you can discover vintage shopping, historic buildings and cafes. Explore the old town on foot and admire the quaint surroundings. You can also catch a tourist train at the port that goes around the old town area if you don’t feel like walking. Check out Hôtel de Cabre that dates back to the 1500s.
