Popular things to do in Marseille
One of the best-known symbols of Marseille, the Notre-Dame de la Garde, is hard to miss due to its size and central location and is worth a visit. In the evenings, walk along the Old Port and relax in one of the popular bars or restaurants. Escape the city in your hire car and drive to Calanques National Park to immerse yourself in nature and try out some of the beautiful hikes. Or go kayaking in the huge Étang de Berre lagoon, which is only directly accessible by car.
Summer 2025 in Marseille
With a Mediterranean climate and plenty of sunshine, Marseille is a great summer escape. Hire a car in Marseille and visit the beaches, from Plage de Catalans or Plage du Prado, which are located close by to the city centre, to Plage de l’Estaque, which is a short drive away. Calanques National Park offers many activities for outdoor sports enthusiasts, such as swimming, kayaking and rock climbing.
Summer in Marseille
The beautiful city of Marseilles comes alive in the summer with its open markets, vibrant neighbourhoods and green parks. Good times to visit are Whit Monday on the 1st June as it’s a public holiday, as well as Bastille Day on the 14th June. While in Marseille take a sunny walk around Le Panier, the city’s oldest district dating back to 6oo BC, now it’s a trendy area with a lot to see. If you head to Old Port you can walk or drive along La Corniche giving you views of the Mediterranean as well as distant castles and old neo-classical architecture. One last amazing place to visit is the Calanques National Park, perfect for summer days and made easier with a car hire, particularly a 4X4.
