Popular things to do in Marseille
One of the best-known symbols of Marseille, the Notre-Dame de la Garde, is hard to miss due to its size and central location and is worth a visit. In the evenings, walk along the Old Port and relax in one of the popular bars or restaurants. Escape the city in your hire car and drive to Calanques National Park to immerse yourself in nature and try out some of the beautiful hikes. Or go kayaking in the huge Étang de Berre lagoon, which is only directly accessible by car.
Winter 2024 in Marseille
There is plenty to do in Marseille in the winter months, head to the fairly new MuCEM museum and learn about modern Mediterranean civilisations. Try the extremely fresh seafood at one of the restaurants at the Old Port. Or soak up the culture in the Cathédrale La Major and Notre Dame de la Garde, where you can see a beautiful panorama view of Marseille.
Summer in Marseille
The beautiful city of Marseilles comes alive in the summer with its open markets, vibrant neighbourhoods and green parks. Good times to visit are Whit Monday on the 1st June as it’s a public holiday, as well as Bastille Day on the 14th June. While in Marseille take a sunny walk around Le Panier, the city’s oldest district dating back to 6oo BC, now it’s a trendy area with a lot to see. If you head to Old Port you can walk or drive along La Corniche giving you views of the Mediterranean as well as distant castles and old neo-classical architecture. One last amazing place to visit is the Calanques National Park, perfect for summer days and made easier with a car hire, particularly a 4X4.
