Marseille Travel Forum

Hi

That will be about 22.30. we then have to walk mybe 15 minutes to hotel near the joliet metro. Whats the walk like is it well lit and more to the point is it safe at that time. Also can anyone give me the name of a reliable taxi company in case I have to get one from the station. thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

I don't perfectly know Marseille, but if you arrive around 10.30 PM, don't worry it would be safe. No problems for that.
In case of you'd need a taxi company, you can join 'taxi Marseille' phone number: 04 91 02 20 20 or you would find some at the Saint Charles Station.

Just print the map from the station to your hotel ;)

Carp fan - if you open Google Maps and put in your hotel name etc, you should be able to et a STREET VIEW as Marseilles has been Googled by the photo van. You can also get walking directions from the station. And the directions they recommend together with the time it takes - either walking or by car.
It's brilliant. Take a look?

its the near vieux port area you will be going so plenty folks there, should be ok at that time. It depends on your luggage and your habits; I will take a taxi if you can anyway.
these folks i have used and you can book it in advance with your details
