Heart of the city

In a sense, the old port is a place of character. It gets crowded, it gets trashed, it's very lively and has host of restaurants, cafe's and bars. Most of the attractions are walking distance from here. I have seen it during different times and it's almost as if i get to see a different face of it. For those who have been to the Chateau d'if, they have most likely taken their ferries from here. On the surface it is very touristy. There is a stop for the hop on and hop off bus, the petite train and a taxi stand. There are these lovely restaurants with outdoor seatings. But it's best to avoid the restaurants for their pricing and just stroll around. #myhiddengems #france #summerdestinations #100waysoftravel #europe #oldport #marseille
