All roads in Marseille lead to the Old Port. It was here, more than 2500 years ago, that the first settlement of Greek colonists arose. Since then, and to this day, the port has been and remains the center of the city.

What to pay attention to?
- the medieval forts of St. John and St. Nicholas, which once protected the safety of the city's harbor
- every morning the Marseille fish market unfolds here, where they sell only freshly caught goods
- an unusual mirror pavilion on the pier of Marseille, which reflects everyone and a small part of the sea surface
- it is from here that excursion trains called Les petits trains de Marseille leave, which will take you around the tourist part of Marseille
- all excursion programs around the Calanques (these are such fjords of the Mediterranean Sea) start right there.

In addition, there is a beautiful promenade in the Old Port, along which it is pleasant to stroll, contemplating sculptures based on Dali's work.
