Welcome to the tourism and vacations guide for Marseille. Browse Marseille hotels, Marseille things to do, Marseille restaurants, and Marseille travel partners to plan your next trip. TravBuddy vacation reviews and tourism information are contributed by millions of fellow travelers, providing you with an unbiased perspective of Marseille.
Marseille is the oldest and second largest city in France, and it is beautifully located in the South, overlooking the vast Mediterranean seas.

Marseille is known best for being the birthplace of famous French footballer, Zinedine Zidane. Hence, it explains the great football passion evident everywhere on the streets. Every true Marseillai is an OM fan. (Olympics de Marseille).

Any visitor should visit the Vieux Port, the Calanques, the Panier District, the Notre Dame du Gard, and the many great beaches that Marseille has to offer.

It is often rumored that Marseille is a dangerous city to visit. This is absolutely untrue and like any other travels, you just have to be prudent. People are generally loud and lively, and it might take a while to get used to the Marsellais' slang when they speak French.

I only speak five french words and it would have really helped us if I just tried to learn some more before we went to Marseille.

I asked how to go to Prado and he didn't understand me first since I pronounced it "pra-doe" instead of something like "prah-doh". He told me the directions and I kept on saying "Yea…

It's my last week in Marseille, the city that I've declared as my home away from home... and I'd like to drop my final sentiments for this beautiful, yet often misunderstood, city down...Despite the dirt and poop, I personally feel that Marseille's one of the best cities to live in in France, as it is strategically located between oceans and mountains, plus there are no problems accessing public facilities such as hospitals, shopping districts, etc...My favorite place in Marseille are the bea…
