Plan your holiday to Marseille
Budget
An affordable holiday in Marseille is achievable with some forward planning. Focus on strolling the city's neighbourhoods and taking advantage of museum free days to keep the budget in check. Set aside around 15 euros (€) for a simple restaurant meal and €10 for a short taxi ride. A coffee is usually about €3.
Getting around Marseille
The local public transport network covers buses, trams and even sea shuttles, making it easy to navigate the city. A City Pass – which also includes museum entry – gives you unlimited access, including to the public bike-sharing scheme. Heavy traffic makes driving stressful, so car hire is best saved for day trips outside the city.
Day trips from Marseille
Drive 30 minutes to Aix-en-Provence to wander elegant cobblestone streets and visit Post-Impressionist painter Paul Cézanne's former studio. For more art history, Arles is an hour by train and home to the Fondation Vincent Van Gogh Arles, fascinating Roman ruins and easy access to the Camargue region.
