Marseille is organised around its port, between the quays of the Old Port, the centre’s shopping streets and the neighbourhoods rising towards the hills. This area suits travellers who want to explore on foot, use public transport and return to the waterfront throughout the day. The lively quays contrast with the quieter lanes of Le Panier, an old neighbourhood with colourful façades and narrow passageways.

The Old Port is the departure point for boats to the islands and the calanques; its quays are also a good place to discover the fish market and terraces overlooking the water. The Jardin des Vestiges and the Musée d’Histoire de Marseille tell the story of the city’s ancient origins. Further along the port, Fort Saint-Jean and the Mucem bring together architecture, exhibitions and views of the Mediterranean. Vieux-Port metro station is 100 m away, and Saint-Charles railway station is 1.1 km away. For a trip to the coast, Plage des Catalans is 1.6 km away.

A day can begin with a walk along the quays, continue through the lanes of Le Panier and end at the Mucem, facing the port. Boat services also make it possible to visit the calanques or Château d’If, depending on sailing conditions. In summer, the waterfront is notably hot and busy; spring and the shoulder season are well suited to exploring on foot. In winter, the museums and central neighbourhoods offer options for cooler days.
