Discover Marseille: Old Town and City Highlights Free Tour
Overview of the tour in Marseille
Join us to explore this wonderful city of 2,600 years on a two-hour walking tour, where we'll embark on an exciting journey. We'll start our adventure at the marvelous Old Port, a natural harbor and the birthplace of the city, where it all began!
From there, we'll delve into the Le Panier District, a beautiful old town with a long history dating back to the founding of Marseille by the Greeks in the 6th century BC. Over the centuries, this neighborhood has been home to a mix of communities, including Romans, Armenians, Neapolitans, and Africans, among others, reflecting the cultural diversity that permeates its architecture and atmosphere.
We'll continue our tour by visiting the impressive Marseille Cathedral, one of the architectural symbols of the city. We'll conclude our experience at the entrance of the Museum: a new icon of Marseille. The Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations is one of the most visited places in the city, thanks to its modern architecture that blends with the Renaissance-era Saint-Jean Fortress.
