Admire the spectacular Notre Dame de la Garde

Marseille is an old city, with plenty of things to do that will keep visitors entertained for days. We’ve compiled a list of the best attractions in the city, so those who are pressed for time can pick and choose what they like best.
Whilst France in general might be known for its elegant and sophisticated cuisine and drinking scene, Marseille is particularly well-known for its pastis – an anise-flavored apéritif. Also known as ‘pastage’ by Marseille’s residents, there are plenty of spots across the city to sample this traditional tipple. Typically the apéritif is served with a jug of water, so drinkers can dilute the beverage to make it as strong or weak as they like. For an extensive selection, head to Pastis and Olives, where you can choose from 16 variations.
