Travel Guide Intro

Title
The Insider’s Guide to Marseille
Description

Sun‑soaked, soulful, and proudly unconventional, Marseille is a Mediterranean gem where ancient history meets modern edge. France’s oldest city blends Greek and Roman roots with vibrant street art, Provençal markets with North African flavors, and dramatic coastal landscapes with effortless seaside cool. Whether you’re here for culture, cuisine, or coastal adventure, Marseille rewards curiosity — and offers unforgettable stays with IHG.

Description

Getting around 
Marseille’s metro, tram, and bus network makes exploring easy. For seamless sightseeing, consider the City Pass, which includes unlimited transportation and discounted or free museum entry.

When to travel 
Spring and early fall bring mild weather, calm seas, and fewer crowds. Summer is buzzing with festivals and beach days, but expect heat and heavier tourism.

What to pack 
Bring breathable clothing, comfortable walking shoes, and swimwear. A light jacket or scarf is helpful for breezy evenings or boat rides along the coast.

Local insight 
Bouillabaisse is Marseille’s most iconic dish — but skip the tourist traps. Seek it out at a classic port‑side brasserie where locals gather.

Don’t miss 
A scenic ferry ride to the Calanques National Park or Château d’If, offering cliffs, coves, and crystal‑clear Mediterranean waters.

Description

Marseille’s culinary scene is a vibrant blend of Provence, the Mediterranean, and North Africa. Begin at Les Fenêtres Brasserie inside the InterContinental Marseille – Hotel Dieu for panoramic Old Port views. For the city’s legendary bouillabaisse, locals swear by Chez Fonfon or Le Rhul.

At Noailles Market, grab flaky flatbreads, falafel, and global street bites, or pick up fresh fish at Marché aux Poissons. In the artsy Cours Julien district, cafés, wine bars, and street art create the perfect backdrop for small plates at Limmat, modern French cooking at La Mercerie, or inventive cocktails at CopperBay Marseille.

Description

Marseille is a fusion of history, culture, and natural beauty.

  • Basilique Notre‑Dame de la Garde – The city’s iconic hilltop basilica with sweeping 360° views.

  • Vieux‑Port (Old Port) – The historic heart of Marseille, buzzing with cafés, fishermen, and maritime charm.

  • MUCEM – A striking museum of Mediterranean culture, set dramatically at the water’s edge.

  • Le Panier – Wander pastel alleys, artisan boutiques, and picture‑perfect squares in the city’s oldest neighborhood.

  • Calanques National Park – Hike or boat through limestone cliffs, turquoise coves, and wild coastal trails.

  • Château d’If – A ferry ride transports you to the fortress island made famous by The Count of Monte Cristo.

Description

Day 1: Harbor Views & Historic Charm

Check into the InterContinental Marseille – Hotel Dieu, a stately 18th‑century landmark overlooking the Old Port. Enjoy breakfast on the terrace at Les Fenêtres Brasserie, then explore the Vieux‑Port and wander into Le Panier. Visit La Vieille Charité, browse artisan boutiques, and end the evening with pizza and Provençal classics at Chez Etienne.

Day 2: Culture, Cliffs & Calanques

Fuel up with a croissant at Maison Geney, then spend the morning at MUCEM and Fort Saint‑Jean. In the afternoon, head into the Calanques by boat or on foot for swimming and coastal scenery. For dinner, enjoy ultra‑fresh seafood at La Boîte à Sardine, followed by a cocktail at CopperBay Marseille.

Day 3: Markets & Mediterranean Life

Begin at Noailles Market, then make your way to Notre‑Dame de la Garde for stunning city views. Lunch on panisses and rosé at Chez Jeannot in the postcard‑worthy Vallon des Auffes. Spend your final hours shopping for Marseille soaps and local wines or relaxing at Plage des Catalans before sunset drinks at your hotel’s rooftop bar.

A postcard‑perfect fishing village with pastel houses, a charming port, and access to the most famous Calanques. Enjoy cliffside hikes, boat tours, and a glass of crisp local white wine on the harbor.

Elegant, artistic, and bathed in golden Provençal light, Aix is known for its markets, Cours Mirabeau, and ties to painter Paul Cézanne. Perfect for strolling, shopping, and lingering at cafés.

Walk in Vincent van Gogh’s footsteps in Arles, then venture into the Camargue for flamingos, wild horses, and sweeping salt marshes. Ideal for culture lovers and nature seekers.
