Discover the Old Port
Take a stroll down to the Old Port and soak in the bustling atmosphere of the city. With its seafood restaurants and ice cream vendors, it's the perfect place for a quick lunch break. If you're feeling adventurous, rent a kayak or stand-up paddleboard and enjoy a unique perspective of the city from the sea. The Old Port is also home to the Marseille aquarium, which showcases the diverse marine life of the Mediterranean, and the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations (MuCEM), which explores the cultural heritage of the region.
Experience the Culture at Les Calanques
Les Calanques are a series of stunning cliffs and rocky inlets that are a must-visit for nature lovers. Not only will you be able to hike and enjoy the scenery, but you can also explore the traditional fishing villages dotted along the coast. It's a true cultural experience and a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. These cliffs, a national park, offer a unique opportunity to experience the beauty of the Mediterranean and connect with nature. Don't forget to bring a picnic and enjoy a meal while taking in the breathtaking views.
Uncover the History at the MuCEM
For history buffs, the MuCEM (Musée des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la Méditerranée) is a must-visit. The museum is housed in a stunning contemporary building and showcases the rich cultural heritage of the Mediterranean region. After exploring the exhibits, relax in the museum's terrace cafe with a cup of coffee and enjoy the views of the sea. From ancient civilizations to contemporary art, the MuCEM provides a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of the Mediterranean and its surrounding countries.
