Where to Stay in Marseille?

Provence-Alpes-Cote Marseille, the most important city of the d’Azur region, is a warm, colorful Mediterranean city that lives every hour of the day.. Despite all these beauties, Marseille is not a very safe city not only for me, but for most French people.. After this insecurity, the issue of where to stay in Marseille becomes an important issue.

The Old Port (Vieux-Port) area is one of the places where you can stay with peace of mind in Marseille.. Hotel prices in the old port start from 30 euros per night.. You can also stay at affordable prices in Belsince and Noailles, which includes the Old Port.. Hotel prices in these two regions start from 50 euros per night.. Hotel prices in the region start from 25 euros per night.. We paid 100 euros for two people for 3 nights at the Odalys Appart’Hotel Canebiere, which is very close to La Canebiere street.. (1 euro is still 3.5 TL:) While we were waiting for a normal hotel room, it was a great chance to encounter an apart flat.. They blocked 70 euros from our credit card when checking in for the apartment with its own kitchen, the reason for this was to secure the fixtures such as microwave, oven, refrigerator, stove in the kitchen.. Already blocked when leaving the hotel. I can say that it is the most comfortable place I have stayed in among my European trips.

You can browse and book all Marseille accommodation options here. If you are thinking of choosing Airbnb to maintain the comfort of your home on your trip, you can create a new membership here and get a discount of 130 TL on your home reservation.

Notre Dame Basilica (Notre Dame) de la Garde)

Our second stop after visiting Vieux Port is Notre Dame Basilica, because the easiest way to get here is from the street leading to the port area 60 bus number. Since we didn’t have a ticket, we wanted to buy it from the driver, but he said he didn’t have any tickets left, so we didn’t pay for our trip to the basilica

It takes 20 minutes by bus to go to Notre Dame Basilica from the city center.. After wandering the side streets of Marseille, we arrive at the cathedral, which salutes the city from the top, just like in Lyon.. This place has a magnificent view where you can see the whole of Marseille as a panoramic.

The bus leaves the entrance of the basilica and takes you to the city every half hour from the same place. As you go up the stairs, the beauty of the view increases.. Entry to the basilica is free. But it’s the most heavily guarded church I’ve ever seen.. Although 8 soldiers waiting in different corners with long-barreled weapons in their hands cause some uneasiness, the fact that the basilica has a special importance for Catholics and the Virgin Mary statue on top is made of solid gold proves why security is so tight.

Notre Dame de la Garde, whose construction was completed in 1864, is open to visitors every day between 07.00-18.15. You can come to the Basilica by bus number 60 or by Petit Train (excursion train) departing from Vieux Port..

Cours Julien to live in their head, To step into a different world, even for a few hours, the easiest way to reach the district is the metro.. If you take the metro on the M2 line and get off at Notre Dame du Mont stop, you can suddenly find yourself in this bohemian culture..
