Best places: Things to dos in Marseille, France

Grand basilica at the city's highest point, crowned by golden statue of the Virgin Mary by Lequesne.

National park formed in 2012 ranging over a mountainous coastline & an adjacent marine area.

👍 It's hard to rate this place because you have to distinguish between the cave itself, which is amazing, and the organization of the visit, which is catastrophic. The reconstructed grotto is simply phenomenal and the automated audio guide is excellent. We had a 18h30 entry. They were running late so...

Natural area with rock formations, pine trees, sand & shingle beaches plus hiking trails.

Visitors can explore this 17th-century fortress with a bridge leading to a regional history museum.

👍👍 Take Bus B1 at Metro Station Prado Shopping Mall to last stop: Luminy PN des Calanques 🌈 and after a 60 min walk you will end in paradise 🏖 on this beach 🧭 Going down is easy, going back a bit more exhausting. Not possible with trolley or small children.

Olympique de Marseille's redeveloped stadium with a distinctive undulating roof.

Huge 1800s neo-Byzantine cathedral featuring an opulent interior lined with murals, mosaic & marble.

👍👍 One of the best places to grab a drink in Marseille, always some good music to listen to, good and warm vibes :) my bf lost his bag and the owners actually kept it for him for more than 2 weeks ! I highly recommend!!

Fortified abbey founded by St. Cassian & built over the 5th-century crypt housing his sarcophagus.

1858 palace built for Napoleon III, now a conference centre, with gardens overlooking the seafront.

Expansive, well-maintained lawn around the Palais du Pharo with serene city & water views.

👍👍 Super activité, je vous recommande sans hésiter. Nous avons passé un super moment, Complètement déboussolant ! Et romain nous a fait de superbe photo. Merci

Only accessible by trail or boat, this remote beach is surrounded by cliffs & has turquoise waters.

👍👍 My tour guide was Pierre and he was great. This is a great way to see Marseille! I had a lot of fun. I had never ridden an E bike before, so that was a fun experience. The bikes were very nice and well-maintained. I definitely recommend yes company for a bike tour of Marseille 😃

👍👍 The food is so delicious and the price is nice The owner is kind and she laughs well. It's the best restaurant in Marseille.

👍 Came with my daughter to spend the afternoon. Staff at the top and available. The courses are nice. Cold drinks and possibility of picnic on site. Small flat on the price a little high for my taste and the system of nominative loyalty card is a little "abused" for my taste.

Monument from the mid-1800s with a waterfall & reservoir built to bring water to the city.

Château estate, now a public park with 18th-century formal gardens & fountains, plus lakeside cafe.

François I's 16th-century island castle & former prison, setting for The Count of Monte Cristo.
