Best of Marseille

Top itineraries and travel advice in and around Marseille

In the south of France, Marseille is a vibrant waterfront city and a prominent gateway to the alluring region of Provence. A multicultural crossroads, Marseille is France’s oldest (and second-largest) city, founded some 2600 years ago by the ancient Greeks (who named the settlement Massalia). You can delve into the past on visits to the fascinating Marseille History Museum, wander through the city’s landmark churches and cathedrals, and take boat trips along the photogenic coast. Be sure to set aside at least one afternoon for unstructured exploring in the picturesque lanes of the Panier district above the old port.

East of Marseille, a series of spectacular calanques (fjord-like coves along the coast) make a great setting for a day of hiking through rugged terrain overlooking the shimmering Mediterranean. You can leave the driving to us on a scenic trip along the winding roads leading to the top of Cape Canaille, the highest maritime cliff in Europe, and a great spot for panoramic views over the cliffs along the coast and the seaside. Other tours include day trips to the artsy town of Arles, the pristine wetlands of the Camargue, and the green boulevards of Aix-en-Provence.

How Many Days to Spend in Marseille

Historic, multicultural, and even a bit scruffy—a trip to Marseille in the South of France is a memorable feast for the senses. For a solid itinerary, we recommend at least two to three days so you can explore the city's famous port, its diverse neighborhoods, and the delicious food scene. Tack on more time for Marseille's ancient sites and modern museums, with possible day trips to the Provençal countryside or Mediterranean coast. Check out some possible itineraries, ranging from 24 hours to a week or more.

Top Active Experiences in France

France is an active traveler's dream, with sandy beaches in the north, the towering Alps in the southeast, several river valleys across its heartland, and a rocky southern coastline dotted with inlets, caves, and coves. You can easily spend your time cycling through vineyards and from one chateau to another, riding horses in the surf, kayaking the famous Calanques, and hiking in the mountains. Or, if you're more of a city person, add a bike tour or vineyard stroll to your exploration of hubs like Paris.

Best Things to Do in Marseille

Marseille unites two very different worlds: the vibrant coastal French Riviera and the charming rolling hills of Provence. In addition, it's France's oldest city, founded by the Greeks in 600 BCE. So in just Marseille alone, you can enjoy a diverse trip strolling through the historic districts while nibbling on traditional food, discovering the renowned world of Marseille soap, sipping rosé among the lavender fields, and cruising or kayaking along the famed Calanques inlets.
