What to see in Marsel

Marseille is an ancient sea city on the Mediterranean coast, founded by the Greeks in the VI century BC. Its uniqueness in the mix of port history, Mediterranean climate and vibrant local culture: noisy markets, narrow streets of old quarters and sunny embankments create a unique atmosphere where the past coexists with modernity.

Manufactures and facilities

In the city there are many man-made attractions that are worth seeing: The old port with its lively promenade and market bustle, the majestic Cathedral of St. Mary Major and Notre Dame de la Gard with panoramic viewing platforms, Fort Saint-Jean at the entrance to the harbor, the Faro Palace and the Loncham Palace as examples of urban architecture, as well as the modern CMA CGM tower and the famous Velodrome Stadium. Don’t forget about If Castle and its fortress buildings, ancient monuments and sculptures, including local copies of famous statues that reflect the rich history of the city.

Natural attractions and places

Natural attractions around Marseille are not inferior to man-made masterpieces: the famous Marseille coves-calanques with narrow rocky bays and clear waters resemble the Mediterranean fjords, the islands of the Frioul archipelago and quiet beaches, green alleys and flowering lawns of Boreli Park, picturesque promenades and sea walks along the coast. These places are ideal for hiking, swimming and souvenir photos.
