Visit Marseille's museums

Mucem, the Museum of Civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean, is Marseille's best-known museum. But the city is also home to a number of other outstanding museums. You can also visit the Musée d'Histoire, the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle, the Musée des Beaux-Arts, the Centre de la Vieille Charité and the Musée Cantini.

Stroll through the historic districts

To the north of the Old Port, the historic Panier district has become a haven for many craftspeople and shopkeepers. The shops, cafés and workshops invite you to discover a whole host of new things. From the port, you can also walk up the Canebière, or take the pedestrian shopping street, rue Saint-Ferréol. Further south, the Vallon des Auffes has retained the character of a fishing village.

Climb up to Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde

Affectionately nicknamed La Bonne Mère (The Good Mother) by the people of Marseilles, Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde dominates the city. You can easily reach the basilica from the Old Port. Inside, the mosaics and ex-votos offer a unique spectacle. Outside, the view takes in the whole city, the harbour and islands, and the hills of the Calanques, Étoile, Garlaban and Sainte-Baume ranges.

Taste a real bouillabaisse

Marseille's signature fish soup, bouillabaisse, is still prepared traditionally in many of the city's restaurants. You can also take advantage of your stay to discover other flavours, at the confluence of the many cultures that forge the cosmopolitan personality of the city of Marseille: Michelin-starred establishments and alternative restaurants abound!

Visit the Calanques National Park

The coastline to the south of Marseille offers some unique scenery, with a succession of creeks and breathtaking cliffs plunging into sparkling blue waters. You can explore the Parc National des Calanques from the land, on foot, or discover this exceptional area from the sea, by hiring a boat or booking your tickets for a sea excursion.
