The Prado district occupies the south of Marseille, between major sports venues, residential avenues and the coast. This part of the city has a less densely built-up feel than the old town, with parks and open spaces where you can alternate city visits with time outdoors. It is also a convenient base for travellers attending a match or event at the Vélodrome Stadium; families can reach the beaches and seaside gardens.

Rond-Point du Prado station is about 400 m away and connects the district to the city centre, the Old Port and Saint-Charles station. Parc Borély is a pleasant place to walk beneath the trees and continue on to the beach. Château Borély houses the Museum of Decorative Arts, Ceramics and Fashion. Further north, Le Corbusier’s Cité Radieuse offers a chance to discover Marseille’s modern architecture. Marseille-Provence Airport is 21 km away; paid public parking is available near the hotel.

The Prado beaches are suitable for swimming, seaside walks and water sports when conditions allow. In summer, the heat and crowds make it worth planning visits early in the day, then enjoying the coast in the late afternoon. Spring and early autumn are well suited to walks in the parks and excursions to the landscapes of Calanques National Park. For a day in the city, the metro takes you to the Old Port, its quays and the streets of the centre, before you return to the more open surroundings of the Prado district.
