Discovery Marseille Tour

& visit to mucem

As European Capital of Culture in 2013, Marseille offers a rich and diverse heritage. From the Panier district to the small fishing port of Vallon des Auffes, via the Old Port and the not-to-be-missed Notre-Dame de la Garde, explore all the facets of Marseille’s culture and heritage!

To explore Marseille with ease, our “Discovery Tour Marseille” panoramic bus tour is a great option. It allows you to get around easily and enjoy a breathtaking view of the city, while being able to get on and off the bus as you please.

Since its inauguration in June 2013, the building designed by Rudy Ricciotti (in association with Roland Carta) has been one of the symbols of the new face of Marseille. This mineral cube – a perfect square measuring 72 metres on each side – is encircled by a fine concrete mesh, a strong visual signature that has helped to elevate the Mucem to the status of an internationally recognised “world object”.

J4 is the real “heart” of Mucem, hosting the major permanent and temporary exhibitions, as well as regular cycles and highlights of the artistic and cultural programme.

EXPLORE MARSEILLE AT YOUR OWN PACE AND EFFORTLESSLYOur Hop-On Hop-Off tourist activity gives you the opportunity to discover Marseille in a practical way and as you please.

Visite Touristique de Marseille - Mucem • Colorbüs

With this combined ticket, admire and discover Marseille’s must-see sites on board our tourist buses and minibuses, and access all the permanent and temporary exhibitions at Mucem (J4 and Fort Saint-Jean).

Our Discovery Marseille Tour + Mucem Combino ticket allows you to combine tourism and culture by visiting the city of Marseille and the Mucem – Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisation on your own.

With almost 45,000 m² spread over three sites, the Mucem is a must-see in Marseille. It is located at the entrance to the port, on the J4 harbour mole and in Fort Saint-Jean: two places highly symbolic of the city’s current development and its age.

The Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations, the first major national museum dedicated to Mediterranean civilizations for the 21st century and directed by Bruno Suzzarelli, opened its doors in Marseille on 7 June 2013. It has quickly become one of the most visited museums in Marseille.

Your Pass gives you the opportunity to visit Marseille at your own pace. You can start your city tour at any of the stops located in the four corners of the city, by showing your e-ticket on your smartphone or on paper. You can then visit the districts, monuments and museums that interest you most. You can take your time to wander through the streets of Marseille, getting off wherever you like and getting back on the bus whenever you like.

Our advice: get a first impression of the city, walk around, choose the sites you want to explore in more detail and get off at the stop closest to the monuments and districts you plan to visit. Discover the incredible architecture of the Mucem, go shopping at Prado Shopping, enjoy a walk along the sea on the Corniche Kennedy or stop at Notre-Dame de la Garde and take a moment to enjoy the breathtaking view of the whole city!

All the secrets of the city will be revealed to you thanks to our Rewind application and its high-quality audio guide in 8 languages (French, English, Spanish, Italian, German, Russian, Chinese and Japanese).

Discover the city as the people of Marseille know it, full of authenticity and richness.
