    Take 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)

    We 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 day

    Beautiful 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.

    Amazing 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.

    We especially enjoyed our spacious comfortable and clean cabin - with double bed and view of the sea. The meal in the restaurant was a wonderful beginning to our holiday.

    A 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.

    The 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.

    We 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.

    Vallon 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).
