  • Marseille in 3 words

    Solar, contradictory, bubbling.

  • My favourite neighbourhood

    The Castellane district. Always lively even on Sundays. You can have a drink with friends, have a coffee before going to work or stroll around the market on Saturday morning.

A tourist train tour

The CityPass includes a sightseeing tour on a mini-train, taking 1h15 to 1h20 to discover the city’s must-see tourist sites. Accessible to people with reduced mobility, the little train takes you on a guided tour of Marseille’s secrets.

The Quays of the vieux-Port, Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde Basilica, Saint-Victor Abbey, Vallon des Auffes, Panier district, Hôtel-Dieu, La Major Cathedral and Vieille Charité: the two urban tours reveal the city’s treasures, big and small. Another tour stops off at the Frioul Islands during the summer season, to explore this magical place in a whole new way.

Prefer the bus to the train? Swap your crossing to the islands for a panoramic bus tour with Colorbüs!

A crossing to the islands

The Frioul archipelago contributes to the beauty of Marseille’s harbour. Pomègues and Ratonneau offer wild, unspoilt landscapes and an interesting historical heritage, much to the delight of nature lovers and history buffs alike. The Ile d’If, fortified under François I, is home to a fortress that was later converted into a prison. It was here that the Count of Monte Cristo, hero of Alexandre Dumas’ novel, is said to have stayed.

With CityPass Marseille, take a trip to the Frioul Islands or the Château d’If for an unforgettable visit just a stone’s throw from Marseille’s coastline.

A visit to several of Marseille’s museums

As European Capital of Culture in 2013, Marseille boasts a number of museums, some of which have acquired an international reputation. CityPass invites you to discover several of these emblematic cultural sites.

Le Mucem, designed by architect Rudy Ricciotti and built in part on the former Fort Saint-Jean, explores Mediterranean cultures through fascinating exhibitions, varied permanent collections and interactive installations.

Le Musée Regards de Provence, on the edge of the Old Port, reveals the artistic and cultural wealth of Provence through its temporary exhibitions and permanent collections. It features a wide range of works, from paintings to photography.

Maison Yellow, Musée de l’Anis offers an unusual and fun experience. Take a virtual tour in a Mehari and discover this spice, an essential ingredient in the recipe for Marseille’s emblematic aperitif.

Temporary exhibitions at Marseille’s museums are also accessible at reduced rates.

Fun, gourmet and festive experiences at reduced prices

You can also discover Marseille through its food. Partner gourmet shops are offering exclusive discounts to CityPass holders: the Dromel Ainé confectionery, the Roy René confectionery, the Maison des Dragées Rosière, the Four des Navettes, the Navettes des Accoules and Torréfaction Noailles are inviting you to enjoy new tasting experiences, from the bitterness of coffee to the regressive pleasure of sweet treats.

The CityPass Marseille also offers reduced rates on a wide range of activities: visit the Illusion Museum, access the changing rooms at the Orange Vélodrome stadium, take in the panoramic view from the top of the Ferris Wheel, take part in an escape game or a sea kayaking trip, etc.

A CityPass for the duration of your stay

For one day, two days or three days, the CityPass is available in several packages to suit the length of your stay.

Some fifteen kilometres separate the southern and northern districts, and the city of Marseille is notorious for its traffic jams. Public transport, especially the metro and tramway, is the most practical and economical way of getting around Marseille, with easy access to the city’s districts, museums, monuments, beaches, natural sites and other tourist attractions. The Marseille CityPass with public transport package gives you unlimited use of all the city’s bus, tram and metro lines.
