British Airways operates frequent flights to Marseille, which arrive at the sleek modern
Marseille Provence Airport, located 15 miles north-west of Marseille on the
other side of the Estaque hills. After your flight, buses and taxis get you quickly into
Marseille. There is good road access right into the centre of Marseille. After your
flight to Marseille, start exploring the city by visiting Marseille's vibrant
and spectacular Old Port.
Travel to/from central Marseille
Once off your flight to Marseille, catch the Marseille shuttle bus direct to
Marseille from outside Arrivals. Buy your ticket before boarding. The Marseille
shuttle bus departs every 20 minutes and takes just 25 minutes on motorway A55,
which brings you straight to St-Charles railway station in central Marseille.
It's only a few minutes' walk from La Canebière
boulevard and Marseille's impressive Old Port. If you'd
rather collapse into a taxi after your flight to Marseille, pick one up in
the taxi waiting area outside the Flight Arrivals hall.
Best of Marseille
After flights to Marseille, many people stare in awe at the huge Old Port,
guarded by waterfront fortresses. Explore Marseille's historic sights and
fine buildings. Join a ferry excursion to Château d'If, on
an isle just offshore, or relax on the beach, and sample traditional Marseille
bouillabaisse fish stew. Walk Marseille's arrow-straight central
avenue La Canebière, turning into side streets like Rue St
Férréol to find treats to take back with you on your
return flight from Marseille. Look in particular for fragrances, olive oil and
aniseed-flavoured pastis liqueur.
