What makes Half day Private Guided Tour of the Highlights of Marseille a unique experience ?
Porte d’Aix
Designed by Michel-Robert Penchaud and completed in 1839, the Porte d’Aix is a monumental triumphal arch that represents victory and was the ancient entry point to the urban area of Marseille from Aix-en-Provence.
A picturesque old district where you can breathe the atmosphere of a small, colorful Provencal village. Take a leisurely walk around, explore the little alleys, and spot the vivid street art at every corner.
The graceful Vieille Charité, originally an almshouse, is a splendid example of 17th-century architecture and an emblematic symbol of the city. Today it is recognized as a historical monument and houses a cultural center.
The Cathedral of Sainte-Marie Majeure (or “La Major”) is one of the biggest churches ever built in the country since the Middle Ages. Reflecting the multi-cultural aspect of the city, the architecture combines Roman and Oriental styles to create a shining artistic jewel.
Located at the end of the Canebière, the main street of Marseille, the port has its origins in the activity of ancient Greek settlers. As of today, thanks to the numerous shops and restaurants, it attracts tourists as well as locals and is considered the beating heart of the city.
The tour will end outside the Marseille History Museum.
