What travelers are saying
- Rodney PAuckland, New Zealand312 contributionsTake Bus #60 from the old port to save you walking. The views from this Cathedral are worth the effort ( but the crowds can be overwhelming so choose the quieter time of the day to go)Written April 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- phil6610Bishops Stortford, UK2 contributionsWe just had an amazing experience - the whole day in the company of some fantastic actors, who went to great lengths to entertain us with a very lively and moving at times delivery of Nais, some brilliant music and singing and the opportunity to walk and chat with the actors between scenes of the play. All actors were great , patient with the sometimes hot and bothered crowd but for us Toine, Elzear and Simone were outstanding. Thank you for such a wonderful dayWritten May 23, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Pistachon279Cancun, Mexico10,999 contributionsA great Cathedral in the hill, near the ocean and the mall terrance du port. Inside also has a nice architecture. It is also very close to the old port.Written April 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Riya DennisLondon, UK4 contributionsBeautiful art work around, it's close to all major attractions, so it is worth having a walk through the neighborhood. There are few good cafes and eating places also. We all enjoyed the streets, it's a bit of a climb so if you are not a fan of steps then it might be a bit tiring.Written March 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Erika BDublin, Ireland27 contributionsAmazing boat trip to the Château, spectacular views from the top. Its a must when you are in Marseille. The entrance fee is €6, it definitely worths it. It can get quite busy, and the boats get full.Written October 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Pistachon279Cancun, Mexico10,999 contributionsA very nice place to visit, a great fountain, from the old port we took the subway line one is just a seven minutes ride. You walk through the park for 10 minutes and you are there.Written April 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Eileen EToronto, Canada190 contributionsThe age and architecture of this building takes you deep into the past. Compared to others, the church is fairly austere, but its age alone makes it worth visiting. It’s about a 15-20 minute walk from the center of the pier and is free to enter. There’s a small fee for entering the crypt which I highly recommend. The lady that worked there was also super-nice, making our visit even more pleasant.Written December 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 696stan12345Prague, Czech Republic10 contributionsWe stayed at the hotel on the 3rd floor. And it was an experience. The personal was very kind. You can enjoy drinks on the balcony. You can wonder around this incredible building. You can visit a rooftop terasse which special experience itself. For short stay it is exciting to be THERE.Written July 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- jordanellie41Longridge, UK1,070 contributionsVallon des Auffes is really no different from any other of the places along this beautiful coastline. I walked 1.5 hours from Parc Balneaire du Prado to Le Vieux Port and all the views I saw were as spectacular as each others. There is also a very significant WW1 monument here that is also worth seeing (separate review).Written November 11, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
