Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Marseille

32 stays · 24 aparthotels and 8 serviced apartments · from €61/night

Marseille is France's oldest city, founded by Greek settlers in 600 BC, its biggest Mediterranean port and one of its largest cities by both population and area. Aparthotels and serviced apartments in Marseille suit a city this spread out: a kitchen means you can shop the Noailles market and cook, families get room to spread out between beach and Calanques days, and business travellers working in La Joliette's offices can settle in for a longer stay.

Where to stay in Marseille

Vieux-Port

  • first-time visitors
  • dining
  • transport links

The Old Port is the centre of the city, with the Canebière, the Opéra and the history museum in the 1st arrondissement close by. A small ferry crosses the harbour, boats leave from here for the Frioul islands, L'Estaque and the southern coast, and both metro lines are within easy reach.

Stays in or near Vieux-Port

Le Panier

  • culture
  • couples
  • street art

Marseille's oldest neighbourhood stands on the site of Greek Massalia, on the hill above the Vieux-Port. Its narrow lanes and stairways are full of street art, café terraces and small design shops, and the Vieille Charité and the Mucem are within walking distance; expect hills and steps.

Cours Julien & La Plaine

  • nightlife
  • street art
  • young travellers

A short walk from Noailles and the Vieux-Port, Cours Julien was the city's main fruit and vegetable market until around 1970 and is now an artists' quarter of galleries, shops, music venues and restaurant terraces. Its pedestrianised streets are lively by day and well into the evening.

La Joliette

  • business travel
  • shopping
  • long stays

Revived by the Euroméditerranée project, La Joliette is one of the region's leading business districts, with the 145 m CMA CGM Tower, the converted Docks and the Terrasses du Port shopping centre overlooking the harbour.

Vallon des Auffes & the Corniche

  • views
  • seafood
  • couples

Minutes from the Vieux-Port beneath the Corniche Kennedy, the Vallon des Auffes is a tiny fishing harbour of colourful houses and traditional pointu boats under an arched 19th-century bridge. There is no beach, but locals swim off the rocks, and the restaurants include some of the city's best-known places for bouillabaisse.

Pointe-Rouge

  • beach
  • families
  • Calanques access

In the 8th arrondissement at the gateway to the Calanques, Pointe-Rouge combines a residential district, a large marina with water sports and Marseille's largest sandy beach, sheltered from the wind and lifeguarded in summer. Parc Pastré nearby has signposted trails up into the Marseilleveyre massif.

Getting around Marseille

From Marseille Provence Airport, the airport shuttle bus runs every 15–20 minutes to Saint-Charles station in about 25 minutes, and a free shuttle links the terminal with Vitrolles station for regional TER trains. Marseille-Saint-Charles has TGV services to Paris in about three hours, Lyon and Nice, plus trains to Barcelona and international coaches from the adjoining bus station.

RTM runs two metro lines, three tram lines and dozens of bus routes on one ticket valid for unlimited transfers within an hour; the metro and trams run until about half past midnight, but most buses stop around 9pm. Many metro stations involve stairs, so trams and buses are easier with a buggy or limited mobility. Boats link the Vieux-Port with L'Estaque, Les Goudes and Pointe-Rouge, and the levélo bike-share scheme has stations across the centre. Driving in the centre is best avoided.

Living in Marseille for longer

The Noailles market, a short walk from the Vieux-Port, is the city's most colourful food market, and the Terrasses du Port in La Joliette has around 190 shops. For a longer stay, a personalised RTM card, issued free with a photo and ID at a customer centre such as Saint-Charles, unlocks weekly passes, which also cover most of the RTM boats.

When to visit Marseille

Marseille has a Mediterranean climate and some of the highest sunshine hours in Europe. Summers are hot and dry, with average highs of roughly 27–30°C in July and August, tempered by sea breezes; winters are mild but windier than elsewhere on the Riviera, with highs of about 12°C. Autumn is the cloudiest season.

The Fiesta des Suds music festival is held in early October (8–11 October in 2026), and the Marseille–Cassis road race runs over the Col de la Gineste on the last Sunday of October. Pointe-Rouge and the other southern beaches are busiest in summer.

The city wraps around the Vieux-Port and runs for kilometres along the coast, from L'Estaque in the north to the Calanques National Park in the south. Aix-en-Provence is close by for a day trip, and fast trains link Marseille with Nice, Lyon and Paris.
