Question 1

How do you get to Marseille's city centre from the airport?

Accepted Answer

You'll have two public and two private options. If you're willing to make a transfer, take a free five-minute bus+3 ride from Platform 5 of the airport's bus station to Vitrolles-Aéroport-Marseille-Provence train station. You can take a TER train from there and arrive in Marseille's city centre in around 20 minutes. Those who want a more direct route but aren't in a rush can wait for the Lecar 91 line airport shuttle. This leaves every 10 minutes, and the ride will take 30 minutes to an hour, depending on traffic conditions. However, the shuttle line closes from 1:30 AM to 4:10 AM every day.

If you want speed and convenience or simply land during a late hour, you can take an airport taxi, which are available 24/7. Note that drivers will charge higher rates at night if you bring luggage and on Sundays and holidays. You can also pick up a rental car at the airport for a more independent way to get to – and explore – Marseille. However, the city is best explored on foot, so maybe only consider this option if you've got day trips planned

Question 2

Why is Marseille famous?

Accepted Answer

Marseille is arguably most famous for the sunny skies and good weather most of Southern France is blessed with, as well as being a gateway to popular destinations in Provence and on the French Riviera. Yet there's more to it than just that. Founded in 600 BCE, it's popular for being the oldest city in France. A holiday here means you can explore relics of ages past, including its old town, Vieux-Port, as well as Greek and Roman ruins in the Jardin des Vestiges and Musée des Docks Romains. It's even home to the Château d'lf fortress featured in The Count of Monte Cristo. Given the city's long and illustrious history, it's also no surprise that France's national anthem – La Marseillaise – was written here and bears its name.

All these influences make modern Marseille famous for being a melting pot of cultures. Home to immigrants hailing everywhere from Europe and Asia to North Africa, the city now boasts a vibrant cultural scene. You can explore a wealth of museums, including the Museum of Civilisations from Europe and the Mediterranean (MuCEM), discover the colourful bursts of street art scattered throughout the city, and attend events like the Marseille International Documentary Film Festival. For a bit of fun, consider making it to a football match – Marseille's team, Olympique de Marseille,is the first and only French club to have won the UEFA Champions League.

Question 3

Is Marseille tourist-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Marseille is definitely tourist-friendly -- it offers something for everyone! History buffs will enjoy its various archaeological sites, museums, and commemorated buildings like the Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde – the city's most famous landmark designed in the Romanesque and Byzantine styles of architecture. Nature lovers will adore hiking at Calanques National Park, a unique suburban reserve and the only national park in Europe to cover land, sea, and urban areas. Families can spend hours at the Magic City amusement centre. Football enthusiasts will also find fellow fans in Marseille, where they can frequent countless sports bars or watch a game at the Orange Vélodrome.

That's not to mention Marseille is quite safe for tourists, too. As with any destination, though, it still pays to be mindful of your surroundings and belongings while on holiday in Marseille.

Question 4

Is it Marseille or Marseilles?

Accepted Answer

Today, it's Marseille. This is the traditional French spelling of the city's name. The English name used to be spelt &lsquo;Marseilles,' with an &lsquo;s' at the end. However, it's now more common to drop the &lsquo;s' when referring to this port city &ndash; regardless of the language being used.

Question 5

Can you walk around Marseille?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Marseille's infrastructure means the city is best explored by foot more than anything else. Most of its attractions are close to each other and are connected by a network of winding streets that are relatively easy to navigate. And if you need to travel from one section of the city to another, you can always take a tram or the metro.

Question 6

Does Marseille have good food?

Accepted Answer

It definitely does! In fact, food is one thing Marseille is most famous for. This is the birthplace of bouillabaisse – an iconic seafood stew with a kick often served with various sauces and garlic croutons. If you're looking to make the most out of your Marseille holiday, you can even get a little Italian in – the city is considered the pizza capital of France. The dish pissaladière, a flatbread topped with onions, anchovies, and olives, is a great ode to Italian cuisine and definitely a must-try while you're in town. Finally, try navettes if you're looking for a traditional local dessert. Created in Marseille in 1781, these boat-shaped biscuits often pop up during Candlemas and are flavoured with orange blossoms and other spices. You can wash everything down with pastis – a traditional alcoholic drink with notes of anise and liquorice.
