• Is it safe to travel to Marseille ?

Marseille is not as expensive as Paris, but it is certainly not an economic destination. The prices are in line with the Italian ones but vary a lot according to the period and the city where you are. We therefore give you some examples of average prices for a typical tourist day: public transport, entrance to museums and monuments, full lunch, drinks, coffee at the bar, hotel prices.

Average living costs in Marseille

The prices we indicate are for reference only. Of course, consider that sitting in the center of Marseille’s square or having dinner in a chic restaurant in Aix-en-Provence is much more expensive than an unknown or less touristy corner of Marseille. Hence, prices may vary widely.

• The ticket is valid for 1 hour to move around Marseille by public transport 1, 50 €
• Full admission to the Cezanne museum in Aix-en-Provence, € 5.50.
• Cost of a 0.5 CL bottle of water per bar. € 1.00
• Cost of a beer at the bar: 3-4 euros
• Baguette: € 1
• Having a coffee at the counter costs 1.50-3 €, if you sit down you also pay 5 €
• A complete meal with appetizer, first or second course, dessert and drinks in an average restaurant: around € 30 per person.
• If you are satisfied with a less refined lunch made with baguettes and some local sausages, you can get away with € 10 each

The cost of Accomodations, hotel appartment

To rent accommodation, you can start by asking for a real estate company that will undoubtedly facilitate and explain everything, this service has a price. On average that cost is equivalent to one month of rent, to which you will have to add two months in advance and then at the end the deposit that will also be equal to one month of rent!!!
