By foot/bike
The best way to get a first glimpse at the city, just walk down from the Train Station 'St Charles' to the Vieux Port. You just need to go down. Walk down the white marble stairs, cross down to Boulevard Dugommier, then at La Canebiére (the local 'Champs Elysées, you can't miss it) turn right and you will hit the Vieux Port in about 10 min. Our street is the one on the right, first called 'Cours Jean-Ballard'' and then 'Rue Breteuil'. At number 12, right side of the street, just before the flour shop 'Interflora', buizz at 'Hello Marseille', and we await for you on the 3rd floor.

If you are a bit tired or if your backpack is too heavy to carry, Vélib Free City Bike are available at the Vélib bike station down the white stairs. For a 1 euro ticket, you'll be able to use bikes all the week around the city, an investment worth the benefit ;). (Note: Credit Card is necessary to subscribe.)
