There are many bus lines and the network is dense enough to reach easily any place in the city. Of course, as it has to cope with the traffic jams, it is not as fast as the metro but it is its perfect complement. It is possible to get a day pass (4 €uros) for bus and metro.

by JLBG In Marseille, the traffic is always heavy, and it is difficult to park. One has better to park ones car on the outskirts of the city and use public transportation that is very efficient, fast and cheap. The metro is very good and though it has only two lines, it allows traveling across the city very fast. It should be used as the priority mean of transport. Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

 Carte 3 jours by tini58de We opted for the 3 day pass, which cost 10 €/person (2007). And since a single ticket costs 1,70 €, it takes only 6 rides until you got your money's worth. With this pass you can take all buses and metros, unlimited times! Plus it is so convenient, because you can hop on and off buses, do not have to care to get your tickets, find coins that will go into the vending machines etc. Highly recommended! Leave a Comment

"César" is a little ferry boat that crosses the Vieux Port. The boat ride only takes 3 - 4 minutes and is both fun and convenient! The old ferry has first started to operate in 1880, but has been renovated in 2006. You can catch this ferry right across the street from the city hall at the Old Port. Ferry services run all day until 7 p.m. In 2007 a single ticket cost 50 cent, a return ticket 80 cent (and the "captain" is also the cashier!!!) Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

 metro stop "Vieux Port" by tini58de There are only two metro lines in Marseille - the red and the blue one. They meet at two stations: Gare St. Charles (the train station) and Castellane. A single ticket costs 1,70 € (2007) and you have to validate it before you get to the train. The trains and the stations are clean and never too crowded, so that is a nice means of transport!

by JLBG Marseille has many connections with the whole Mediterranean. Ferries to Algiers and several Algerian harbors and to Tunis are almost daily but several other destinations can be reached from Marseille : the Balearics, Corsica, Sardinia, Crete, etc… Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

Marseille airport is halfway between Marseille and Aix-en-Provence. There are 4 terminals/halls and the budget airline terminal is hall 4 - still pretty much under construction! It is called mp2 There is a shuttle bus service to both Marseille and to Aix. The shuttle bus to Marseille leaves every 20 minutes and costs 8,50 € (2007) one way. It is a direct bus from the airport to the Marseille central trainstation/bus station. It takes around 30 minutes to get from MP2 to Marseille (of course depending on the traffic). Leave a Comment

Like a lot of places, you can get a bus tour round the city. Its great for getting your bearings, and figuring out what you want to see more of. Usual hop on - hop off format. About 90 minutes in total. Its a "day" ticket, so you could go round more than once. E17 per person. Leaves from Vieux Port every hour. Theme: Bus

The central train station is called Gare Saint Charles. From here you can take trains to all places in France, including a TGV to Paris, which lasts about 3 hours! Saint Charles also has two metro stops - both the blue and the red line stop here. Behind the trainstation is the gare routier, the bus station for long distance buses. From November 2006 on you will find the shuttle buses to the airport right there at the gare routier. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

 Marseille airport by kiwi As you fly in to Marseille you get a wonderful view of the layout of the city and surrounding areas. The airport is situated on an isthmus of land as you can see here in the photo, taken from the cockpit. It is 25kms North West of Marseille, and a very busy airport, being the gateway to Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, and the Mediterranean.
