Marseille is steeped in history, which you can uncover during a stroll through its cobblestoned streets; peruse fascinating museums before visiting the 150-year-old hilltop Nôtre-Dame de la Garde for unbeatable views of the Bay of Marseilles. The city’s creative culture has long attracted legendary artists like Renoir and Cézanne and this artistic spirit is still strong – there are endless galleries to explore and the atmospheric Old Town’s narrow streets are dotted with charming artisanal workshops.
Marseille’s beating heart is the Vieux Port, where lively bars, brasseries and cafés line the pretty waterfront – sip a nightcap on one of the many terraces for a dazzling sunset view over the harbour. It’s also the setting for the city’s colourful century-old fish market, where vendors and locals loudly barter over stalls piled high with freshly caught seafood.
Beyond the city limits you’ll find plenty of attractions that are well worth a day-trip. Nestled in an archipelago in the Bay of Marseille is the the Château d'If, an island fortress that was once a prison and is the setting for Alexandre Dumas’ adventure novel The Count of Monte Cristo. Active types can explore the Parc National des Calanques, an idyllic string of coastal coves where rugged cliffside hiking trails overlook spectacular views.
If you like to indulge in a little retail therapy while on a city break, head to the lively Noailles neighbourhood with its vibrant markets and chic boutiques. Cours Julien is another shopping hotspot, where boho shops sell vintage clothing and handmade gifts. If you prefer to continue exploring the city’s cultural treasures, visit the Porte d’Aix – Marseille’s answer to the Arc de Triomphe – and enjoy a rousing show at the beautiful opera house.
