The Pokémon GO City Safari is coming to Marseille

Calling all Trainers! The Pokémon GO City Safari is coming to Marseille on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September 2026, from 10am to 6pm.

Over the course of the weekend, participants are invited to explore Marseille with Pokémon GO. There’s no set route – the City Safari, organised by The Pokémon Company and Scopely Explore (formerly Niantic), takes place across the city and allows everyone to enjoy the event at their own pace, whilst catching Pokémon and meeting other players.
A unique way to discover Marseille whilst playing Pokémon GO! Throughout the day, players will be encouraged to move around the city and discover its sights and landmarks whilst progressing through the game. It’s a chance to explore spots already very popular with Trainers and real Pokémon ‘hotspots’, such as Parc Borély and Parc du Palais Longchamp.
Whether you’re an experienced trainer or simply curious to discover the world of Pokémon GO, get your trainers and your smartphone ready – Marseille is turning into an adventure playground on 26 and 27 September 2026!

To access the event’s exclusive content, participants must have a ticket!

A massive GO Stamp Hunt in Marseille

One of the highlights of the Pokémon GO City Safari is the GO Stamp Hunt, which invites participants to explore various iconic locations and landmarks around the city.

To get started, you’ll need to visit a participating PokéStop to collect your stamp card. The relevant PokéStops will be marked in the game and will also be listed on Campfire and on a dedicated map.

Trainers can then set off in search of 8 stamps. To collect them, simply visit the relevant PokéStops and spin their Photo Disc.

Each stamp collected will allow you to encounter an Eevee wearing an explorer’s hat, with a chance to encounter its Shiny form.

The Stamp Hunt can be completed once a day during the event’s opening hours.
