Local knowledge for Marseille

Where to stay

Le Panier, the old quarter stacked above the Vieux-Port, and Cours Julien, about 10 minutes uphill with its street art and independent cafes, have the highest concentration of hostels. Le Panier sits near Métro Line 1 and Cours Julien near Line 2, both connecting to Gare Saint-Charles and the airport shuttle stop.

Getting around

  • The Marché des Capucins on Rue Longue-des-Capucins opens every morning and sells produce, spices, and cheap street food. It costs a fraction of anything near the Quai des Belges.
  • MuCEM, the big concrete museum at the mouth of the port, is free on the first Sunday of each month. The walkway connecting it to Fort Saint-Jean costs nothing any day.
  • Bouillabaisse restaurants lining the Vieux-Port quay charge a steep price per bowl. Ask your hostel for somewhere in Noailles or around Cours Julien instead, where locals actually eat it.

When to go

November through March is when prices drop and beds are easy to find; July and August fill up quickly and rates near the Vieux-Port can double, especially on weekends.
