Great seafood restaurant especially if you like oysters.
Highly recommend!
This is an institution, family run pizza restaurant that has been around for years.
It’s an experience as it’s lively and loud but with lots of character. Pizzas are classic, nothing fancy but great tasting! Fun experience

I really love this area, almost feels like a village within the city. There are some lovely restaurants, bars and your typical local wine shops, bakery and butchers. Walking around here gives you a real feel of what Marseille is like.

FOR ALL PARENS WITH CHILDREN La plaine has a large playground (probably one of the biggest in central Marseille)
It’s also surrounded by lots of bars and restaurants. Very child friendly in the day and in the evening buzzing with people in all the bars and restaurants. Lots of people also just sit around the park area with picnics and drinks. Very relaxed atmosphere.

Rue d’Aubagne is a very North African influenced street, with lots of great shops and boutiques selling great imported things. Anything from interior design to cooking utensils to spices. It’s also got some amazing restaurants, ice cream shop, antique shops, second hand charity shop etc.
It’s busy, people selling things on the street, market stalls, loud etc but I have been going here for years and never had any issues. Love the atmosphere!

Some of my favourite shops
These are not just places where I shop but also places that I just like wondering around to get inspiration from.
I can wonder around this shop for hours. They literally have everything from kitchen ware, clothing, toys, marseille soap to tools. And of course lots of little things that are perfect for gifts. The staff are extremely kind and always happy to help. Very much a must visit!

Sightseeing
Beautiful architectural building, lovely to walk around and also has a lovely restaurant and bistro at the top with stunning views of the harbour.
The museum itself changes its exhibitions regularly and can be a little hit and miss. However the small areas (in the old part of the building) with the history of the building is interesting.

Beautiful Basilica set on the highest point of Marseille. The views of the city from up here are spectacular and really give you a sense of the size of Marseille. A must visit!
