What are the top things to do in Marseille?

• Old Port – One of the most picturesque spots in Marseille is this Old Port. Marseille's old port has been trading for 2,600 years and is a whole district than a single sight. The quays are lined with broad promenades enclosed mostly 18th-century former warehouses. The Old Port is filled with cafe, fish restaurant and bar, so you can enjoy the view while you eat. Most of the boats in the old port are not for industrial use, but at the innermost Quai des Belges you can see fishermen's catch of the day as they transport it to shops.
• Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde – This old basilica is almost hard to miss. It's a 19th-century neo-Byzantine church 150 metres above the water, with a large golden statue of the Virgin and Child at the top of its tower to watch over Marseille's maritime communities. People flock this spot because not only it is a spiritual sanctuary, but you can also enjoy a nice view. The basilica incorporates the lower levels of a renaissance fort that also included a chapel. In summer, the hike up the hill can be challenging, but you can take the tourist train up.
• Calanques National Park – If you prefer to be one with nature, Marseille's southern and eastern are home to some exceptional natural beauty. The Calanques are craggy white limestone cliffs that are at a great height, overlooking the sea. You can reach this park by land or sea. If you're going to hike it, then you need to be fearless, as the GR 98 from Marseille to Cassis takes around 11 hours and leads you into some tough terrain. If hiking is not for you, there are also mini-cruises originating from the Old Port, and kayaking activities.
