Art lovers can explore Musée Cantini's modern works, while the ornate Cathédrale de St Nicolas de Myre offers architectural splendour. The waterfront is just a short stroll away. Business-focused cafés serve quick lunches during weekdays, while traditional Provençal bistros offer authentic bouillabaisse.

Notre-Dame du Mont

Notre-Dame du Mont serves up Marseille's coolest cultural cocktail with an artsy kick. Colourful murals splash across Cours Julien while vintage shops and indie boutiques beckon between North African spice shops and hip cafés. The area pulses with music venues and buzzing restaurant terraces where locals share tables under string lights. La Friche Belle de Mai keeps the creative energy flowing with exhibitions and performances. The Notre Dame du Mont metro station connects to Mediterranean beaches just 15 minutes away. Accommodation range from bohemian B&Bs to artist lofts with rooftop terraces. The steep hillside streets might challenge calves but reward with stunning city views.

Old Port of Marseille

The Old Port of Marseille wraps you in 2,600 years of maritime magic where fishing boats bob alongside fancy yachts. Greek settlers started this party way back in 600 BCE, and now you get to enjoy their epic harbour hangout. The daily fish market buzzes with local energy while the mirror canopy reflects Mediterranean light in all directions. Fort Saint-Jean guards the entrance like a watchful friend. Between seafood feasts and strolls along the U-shaped harbour, you'll find narrow cobblestone streets hiding Provençal treasures. Hop on Metro Line 1 at Vieux-Port Station when your feet need a break. Boutique hotels in converted historic buildings put you right in the heart of the action.

Marseille and related destinations

Between the old port's fishing boats and the gleaming MuCEM museum, Marseille's Mediterranean spirit shines brightest. Climb to Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica for views that explain why painters have been obsessed with this light for centuries. The ancient Le Panier district reveals narrow streets where laundry flaps above tiny squares. At Palais Longchamps, fountains cascade dramatically beneath a palatial facade. The Calanques offer limestone cliffs plunging into impossibly blue water - nature's perfect counterpoint to urban grit. Locals debate which restaurant serves authentic bouillabaisse with the same passion they reserve for their football club. The Vieux Port transforms each morning into France's most aromatic fish market, where fishermen sell what they caught hours earlier.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Marseille

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Marseille is during January, February, and December, when hotel prices may drop. For those on a budget, staying for at least 2 to 3 days is recommended to fully appreciate the city’s historic landmarks and cultural sites. During your visit, you can explore the bustling port, enjoy the local cafes, dine at budget-friendly restaurants, and visit fascinating museums. Additionally, don’t miss the stunning marina and iconic cathedral, as well as various shopping opportunities and guided tours that highlight the rich history of this vibrant city.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Marseille, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on hotels near your travel dates. You could also enable email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on flash sales and exclusive promotions, ensuring you don't miss out on potential savings. Additionally, Smart Shopping is a useful comparison tool in the app that allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you find the best hotel deal. You'll be alerted if room rates drop or availability changes, making it easier to secure a cheap hotel in Marseille.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so having some flexibility with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a hotel in Marseille. For those seeking unique accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and can sometimes offer better value. When you make a booking through Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that may be more affordable, increasing the likelihood that you’ll secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Opting for accommodation closer to key attractions or city centres may offer convenience, but it often comes with higher expenses. For more budget-friendly options, you might consider hotels situated in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between cost and accessibility to the sites you intend to visit. You could also look into independent hotels a bit further afield, which are usually more likely to be affordable and can provide a more authentic experience.
