bit expensive, some nice cafes / resturants. port area is good but alot of the outskirts of city could be 'dodgy'. had no problems on our trip though.

Marseille was pretty awesome. We went to the beach the first day and had some awesome sun-bathing weather. To finish off our afternoon we took a bus (21) to the Calanques and walked around on the fabulous cliffs until we came to a beautiful mediteranean vista. Breathtaking! The following day we took a boat from Vieux Port to the Chateau d'If and had a great romp on the island. All in all, Marseille is a hoppin' little town for a quick getaway.

Vertigo is an incredible hostel/cheap hotel. Great location - really close to the station and walking distance form the Old Port. Staff are incredibly friendly, great beds, and great place to meet (and drink with) other travels. Awesome place!

Marseille can definitely be done in a day or two...don\'t waste your time staying for more than that and go to the French Riviera instead!!

Marseille was pretty seedy, but there was a kind of raw beauty about the industrial fishing boats and working class atmosphere.

Didnt really like Marseille itself, it reminded me of Morocco and I didnt fdeel entirely safe the whole time I was there. Cassis only a 25 minute bus ride away has to be the highlight of the trip!!!

Marsella es una ciudad portuaria, y no demasiado agradable a primera vista. Mucha inmigración del norte de áfrica y muchas zonas cercanas al puerto viejo necesitan una restauración urgente. A pesar de todo es una buena \"base de operaciones\": Las pizzerías y restaurantes cercanos al Vieux Port están muy bien de precio, y la gente es muy amable. Cuando alguien habla algo de español intenta usarlo para ayudarte. Las playas no están mal, y en verano hace un tiempo fabuloso. Está realmente bien comunicado y se puede ir en autobús o en tren prácticamente a cualquier sitio. De entrada nos pareció que era un tugurio, pero en un par de días cambia la impresión. La excursión a la isla de If es bastante decepcionante, y cuesta 10€ el barco y 5€ en la isla.
