Bus to Marseille and departures from Marseille – find the cheapest coach

Marseille is the second largest city in France and especially popular for its wide array of attractions. The capital of the department of Bouches-du-Rhône is characterised by both its typically French and Mediterranean ambience. Take a look at the Old Port, relax on the beaches at the Prado or go for a shopping spree on the Canebière. Culture plays a significant role in the Southern French city, which was appointed European Capital of Culture in 2013. Numerous museums pay tribute to this title, ranging from the Palais Longchamp to the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations. Iconic landmarks top off Marseille’s reputation as a city worth visiting, including the basilica of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde and the Palais du Pharo. On an island situated in the Mediterranean Sea you can spot Chateau d’If, which has become famous as a setting for Dumas’ novel “The Count of Monte Christo”. For mpressive landscapes, the rocky coastal area called Calanques National Park is certainly worth a visit. If you fancy culinary highlights during your trips, then Marseille is the perfect place for you: find a spot in one of the many restaurants close to the port and enjoy some pastis for aperitif, followed by the characteristic olive paste called tapenade and some aïoli for starters. For your main course, you should go for bouillabaisse, the city’s traditional fish soup. After your dinner at the port, a trip to the city’s football stadium Stade Vélodrome for an Olympique de Marseilles match comes highly recommended.

The city is just as busy and dynamic as the road system surrounding it, which makes Marseille easy to reach by bus. Coach companies from all of Europe offer bus journeys to Marseille. Amongst them are ALSA, Eurolines Germany, isilines, Movelia and OUIBUS. The bus companies typically stop at Marseille Saint-Charles coach station close to the city centre. This is highly convenient for travellers as the sightseeing tour can start straight away.
