With tight streets that wind up the hill and views of the port below, you’ll have plenty to take in just walking around. Many streets are closed to cars after 11:30 a.m., so feel free to gawk without fear of impatient drivers.

For a free afternoon, make the hike from Le Charité Café to one of the many beaches that make Marseilles such a perfect place to relax.
When dinner starts calling your name, head to Toinou Les Fruits de Mer, where you can get some of the best (and most reasonably priced) seafood in the city. This self-serve restaurant is perfect if you’d like to dig into a main dish or split a sampler with friends. Budget €25 ($37).
With your remaining euro, grab a drink! Marseille has a wide range of amazing bars, where €2 will get you a glass of wine or €1.50 a glass of pernod.
