Notre-Dame de la Garde

This is a beautiful church on a hill overlooking Marseille. You should definitely put this on your to do list in Marseille. It is not the biggest but it is quite gorgeous inside. It is on a hill so take a bus or Uber and they will drop you right in front. Come for the view of the city and The Mediterranean if nothing else. It was pretty busy on a cool Saturday afternoon.

Lovely place! The architecture is stunning. Please be aware that there are stairs that might require a lot of climbing. It's not bad but please allow time for that. Once there, they have an elevator. The gold architecture is all in the ceiling. Best to look up!

Absolute haven! Like stepping out of the world for a moment. I would happily go there once a week just to chill. Free, great views and great facilities. Awesome place.

If you’re in Marseille, you have to fit this place into your schedule. As a Christian, it was a great feeling visiting the chapel, saying a prayer and lighting a candle. On the other hand, the views are amazing, you should try to visit both during the day and again at night where you can get the full view of the city in both settings.

A beautiful church, one of the main attractions of the city. It offers a wonderful view of Marseille and its surroundings.

The location/view was the main attraction for me. The church itself is beautiful both on the outside and inside but is very small and easily gets crowded. We probably stayed less than 10 minutes inside. The walk up from the old harbour is steep so taking the bus is a good idea unless you really want the exercise...

An absolute must-visit in Marseille! Perched high above the city, the basilica offers breathtaking panoramic views you can see the entire city, the Old Port, and the Mediterranean stretching out before you. The climb is a bit steep, but it's totally worth it for the view alone. Highly recommend, especially for sunset!

This is definitely the most wonderful church that I have seen in Europe so far! Every detail is close to perfection and the surroundings are breathtaking together with the warmth that accompanied this stunning place. The best part is that you can pay by card for your candle as I really wanted to pray for my family and had no cash with me.
