Marseille
Rougher, cheaper and more interesting than Nice.
Travellers come here for food, nightlife, culture and meeting people.
When to go
Aim for May, June and July. Think twice about November, December and October — the wettest stretch of the year.
| Month | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |

What it costs
Per person per day — a bed, food, getting around, and a share of one paid thing every third day.
These are GoReady's own estimates, not quotes. Nothing here is a price a provider has offered you — search the dates you actually want to see real ones.

769 places to eat and drink are mapped within walking distance of the centre — 476 restaurants, 126 cafés and 167 bars and pubs. 99% carry no chain or brand operator.

Getting there
The airport is MRS. Marseille is on an intercity rail network, so nearby stops are often better reached by train than by air.
