To experience the atmosphere of the real Marseille, a southern seaside city, we recommend a visit to the Old Port. The Old Port is still bustling with life today, with fishermen heading out in the morning to catch fresh catches, boaters inviting tourists on boat trips, and many people coming to watch the beautiful sunset in the evening. Also in this area are the best fish restaurants in the city - do not refuse yourself the pleasure to taste the traditional fisherman's soup "bouillabaisse" and other dishes of Marseille cuisine.
Not far from Marseille is the famous Château d'If, which is associated with the names of two characters: Edmond Dantes, the hero of Alexandre Dumas's novel "The Count of Monte Cristo", and the mysterious prisoner under the pseudonym Iron Mask (in fact, in the prison of the Château d'If he was not in prison). You can take a tour of the castle to see Dantes' and Abbot Faria's cells, as well as the place where the Iron Mask supposedly served his sentence.
The Basilica of Notre Dame de la Garde, the Palais du Faro and Lonchan palaces, and the Abbey of St. Victor are among the landmarks that every traveler should visit. Modern buildings are also interesting, such as the Velodrome stadium building and the futuristic residential building Radiant City. Visa
