Crossing the Vieux-Port by boat
Marseille is famous for its Vieux-Port, from where you can take the Ferry Boat. This must-see line of maritime transport in the city links the Quai du Port, at Hôtel de Ville level, to the Quai de Rive Neuve, opposite Place aux Huiles, in 283 meters. It is the smallest sea crossing in the world. The boat runs every day, from morning to evening, depending on the weather, and the journey takes between 3 and 4 minutes. The experience costs just €0.50 and is free for RTM or CityPass season ticket holders. Enjoy a sea trip aboard one of the two chartered vessels: the César or the all-electric catamaran-type electro-solar Ferry Boat, in service since 2010, which can accommodate up to 35 passengers each.
