Most popular in Marseille

The Basilica of Notre Dame of la Garde is the most visited site in Marseille. it is located upon a hill and requires a short hike. There is transport till the parking lot. But after that it has to be a climb on foot. Given its location atop the hill, the sights are spectacular. The interior matches well, with rich murals and paintings. There is a panorama tour where they take you on special access into closed off spiral staircases and upper terraces of the church - you can buy tickets for this from the machine next to the museum entrance. The day we went it was somewhat crowded. It seems whenever the cruise arrives in town, it gets crowded. Other times it's far more peaceful. #myhiddengems #marseille #summerdestinations #france #100waysoftravel #europa
