The old port is Marcel's business card. Despite its centuries-old history, it still remains one of the largest and most active maritime "depots" in the Mediterranean. Until now, every morning on boats and with nets leave fishermen to return to the city with a good catch. It is not for nothing that they say that the real spirit of Marseille lives in the Old Port, and if you have not visited the harbor, you have not seen the city itself.

Walking here is good at any time. At dawn, you can see how life in the Old Port of Marseilles awakens and ships come to life, in the daytime in the harbor tourists are vied with sea trips to picturesque places, and in the evening one can come here for a beautiful sunset. Whatever time you are here, be sure to check out the local restaurants that the Old Port is famous for.
Even tourists, indifferent to seafood, can not possibly hold back not to taste real Marseille delicacies: so delicious they are cooked in the Old Port!
As for sea walks, the most popular among tourists is still the excursion to the mysterious Castle If. By the way, from here you can reach other famous sights of Marseilles: the Abbey of Saint-Victor, the Town Hall and Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde Cathedral.
