Day Trip to Aix from Marseille

by shimin Online Now Jul 8, 2010 at 9:41 PM

Hi, is taking a bus or a train better for making a day trip to Aix-en-Provence from Marseille? I've heard that a bus would be better because the Marseille train station is apparently quite scary at night? But could someone help me with the name of the bus company I can get tickets at as well as their schedule and pick-up and drop-off points in both Marseille and Aix? Also, should I just go there and buy the tickets or must I buy them online? This trip will be in mid-September, so will it be hard to get tickets? Thanks =)

    This is a brochure about the fast direct bus: navetteaixmarseille.com/IMG/... It is a BLUE bus NUMBER 50 ! Open Google Maps and put in this address for Marseille departure stop: Porte d'Aix, 23 Place Jules Guesde, Marseille Use Street View and you can see the BLUE BUS !

    At this place you have the Mini Arc de Triomphe - see Pedro's page; Porte d'Aix, Marseille he mentions a lot of construction so check about the bus and whether it is still leaving from this area !
