Barcelona / Spain

  Barcelona  is a city in Spain. It is the capital and largest city of Catalonia, as well as the second most populous municipality of Spain. With a population of 1.6 million within city limits, its urban area extends to numerous neighbouring municipalities within the Province of Barcelona and is home to around 4.8 million people, making it the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union after Paris, London, Madrid, the Ruhr area and Milan. It is one of the largest metropolises on the Mediterranean Sea, located on the coast between the mouths of the rivers Llobregat and Besòs, and bounded to the west by the Serra de Collserola mountain range, the tallest peak of which is 512 metres (1,680 feet) high.

Founded as a Roman city, in the Middle Ages Barcelona became the capital of the County of Barcelona. After merging with the Kingdom of Aragon, Barcelona continued to be an important city in the Crown of Aragon as an economic and administrative centre of this Crown and the capital of the Principality of Catalonia. Barcelona has a rich cultural heritage and is today an important cultural centre and a major tourist destination. Particularly renowned are the architectural works of Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Domènech i Montaner, which have been designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The headquarters of the Union for the Mediterranean are located in Barcelona. The city is known for hosting the 1992 Summer Olympics as well as world-class conferences and expositions and also many international sport tournaments.

Barcelona is one of the world's leading tourist, economic, trade fair and cultural centres, and its influence in commerce, education, entertainment, media, fashion, science, and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the world's major global cities. It is a major cultural and economic centre in southwestern Europe, 24th in the world (before Zürich, after Frankfurt) and a financial centre. In 2008 it was the fourth most economically powerful city by GDP in the European Union and 35th in the world with GDP amounting to €177 billion. In 2012 Barcelona had a GDP of $170 billion; and it was leading Spain in employment rate in that moment.

In 2009 the city was ranked Europe's third and one of the world's most successful as a city brand. In the same year the city was ranked Europe's fourth best city for business and fastest improving European city, with growth improved by 17% per year, and the city has been experiencing strong and renewed growth for the past three years. Since 2011 Barcelona has been a leading smart city in Europe. Barcelona is a transport hub, with the Port of Barcelona being one of Europe's principal seaports and busiest European passenger port, an international airport, Barcelona–El Prat Airport, which handles over 50 million passengers per year, an extensive motorway network, and a high-speed rail line with a link to France and the rest of Europe.

Marcel / France

Marseille  is the second-largest city of France. The main city of the historical province of Provence, it nowadays is the prefecture of the department of Bouches-du-Rhône and region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. It is located on France's south coast near the mouth of the Rhône river. The city covers an area of 241 km2 (93 sq mi) and had a population of 852,516 in 2012. Its metropolitan area, which extends over 3,173 km2 (1,225 sq mi) is the third-largest in France after Paris and Lyon, with a population of 1,831,500 as of 2010.

 Known to the ancient Greeks and Romans as  Massalia , Marseille was an important European trading centre and remains the main commercial port of the French Republic. Marseille is now France's largest city on the Mediterranean coast and the largest port for commerce, freight and cruise ships. The city was European Capital of Culture in 2013 and European Capital of Sport in 2017; it hosted matches at the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2016. It is home to Aix-Marseille University.

Genoa / Italy

Genoa  is the capital of the Italian region of Liguria and the sixth-largest city in Italy. In 2015, 594,733 people lived within the city's administrative limits. As of the 2011 Italian census, the Province of Genoa, which in 2015 became the Metropolitan City of Genoa, counted 855,834 resident persons. Over 1.5 million people live in the wider metropolitan area stretching along the Italian Riviera.

 Located on the Gulf of Genoa in the Ligurian Sea, Genoa has historically been one of the most important ports on the Mediterranean: it is currently the busiest in Italy and in the Mediterranean Sea and twelfth-busiest in the European Union. Genoa has been nicknamed  la Superba  ("the proud one") due to its glorious past and impressive landmarks. Part of the old town of Genoa was inscribed on the World Heritage List (UNESCO) in 2006 as Genoa: Le Strade Nuove and the system of the Palazzi dei Rolli. The city's rich cultural history in art, music and cuisine allowed it to become the 2004 European Capital of Culture. It is the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, Andrea Doria, Niccolò Paganini, Giuseppe Mazzini, Renzo Piano and Grimaldo Canella, founder of the House of Grimaldi, among others.

Genoa, which forms the southern corner of the Milan-Turin-Genoa industrial triangle of Northwest Italy, is one of the country's major economic centers. The city has hosted massive shipyards and steelworks since the 19th century, and its solid financial sector dates back to the Middle Ages. The Bank of Saint George, founded in 1407, is among the oldest in the world and has played an important role in the city's prosperity since the middle of the 15th century. Today a number of leading Italian companies are based in the city, including Fincantieri, Selex ES, Ansaldo Energia, Ansaldo STS, Edoardo Raffinerie Garrone, Piaggio Aerospace, Mediterranean Shipping Company and Costa Cruises.

Naples / Italy

Naples is the regional capital of Campania and the third-largest municipality in Italyafter Rome and Milan. In 2017, around 967,069 people lived within the city's administrative limits while its province-level municipality has a population of 3,115,320 residents. Its continuously built-up metropolitan area (that stretches beyond the boundaries of the Metropolitan City of Naples) is the second or third largest metropolitan area in Italy and one of the most densely populated cities in Europe.

First settled by Greeks in the second millennium BC, Naples is one of the oldest continuously inhabited urban areas in the world. In the ninth century BC, a colony known as Parthenope or Παρθενόπη was established on the Island of Megaride, later refounded as Neápolis in the sixth century BC. The city was an important part of Magna Graecia, played a major role in the merging of Greek and Roman society and a significant cultural centre under the Romans. It served as the capital of the Duchy of Naples (661–1139), then of the Kingdom of Naples (1282–1816) and finally of the Two Sicilies until the unification of Italy in 1861.

Between 1925 and 1936, Naples was expanded and upgraded by Benito Mussolini's government but subsequently sustained severe damage from Allied bombing during World War II, which led to extensive post-1945 reconstruction work. Naples has experienced significant economic growth in recent decades, helped by the construction of the Centro Direzionale business district and an advanced transportation network, which includes the Alta Velocità high-speed rail link to Rome and Salerno and an expanded subway network. Naples is the third-largest urban economy in Italy, after Milan and Rome. The Port of Naples is one of the most important in Europe and home of the Allied Joint Force Command Naples, the NATO body that oversees North Africa, the Sahel and Middle East.

Naples' historic city centre is the largest in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a wide range of culturally and historically significant sites nearby, including the Palace of Caserta and the Roman ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Naples is also known for its natural beauties such as Posillipo, Phlegraean Fields, Nisida, and Vesuvius.

Neapolitan cuisine is synonymous with pizza – which originated in the city – but it also includes many lesser-known dishes; Naples has the greatest number of accredited stars from the Michelin Guide of any Italian city.

The best-known sports team in Naples is the Serie A club S.S.C. Napoli, two-time Italian champions who play at the San Paolo Stadium in the southwest of the city, in the Fuorigrotta quarter.

Messina, o. Sicily / Italy

Valletta / Malta

The capital of Malta - Valletta , is the first and almost the only city in Europe, which was once designed by architects and built according to all the rules and norms of construction. Valletta is considered to be one of the most beautiful cities on the Mediterranean. Klaipeda is on the list of the few remaining fortified towns. The center of the city is the Palace of the Grand Master of the Order of Malta, and today the residence of the President of the country, here is the seat of the Maltese Parliament. The list of places to visit in Valletta includes the Castilla Palace, the Admiralty (where the National Museum of Fine Arts is now located, with the largest painting collection in the country), a charming place in the city - the beautiful Hastings Gardens, and this is not the whole list of the riches of the capital of Malta .

How to Travel from Barcelona to Marseille by Train, Bus, Car, and Plane

TripSavvy /  Julie Bang  

Marseille is a city in the south of France, nestled between Montpellier and Nice. It's a five-hour drive from Barcelona in Spain, making it an easy weekend getaway. Both coastal cities have access to superb Mediterranean beaches, but each offers something unique in terms of cuisine and culture.

The fastest method of transport is taking the plane, which is a quick flight of just over an hour. However, once you take into account all the time it takes to travel to and from the airport, check in, go through security, and wait at your gate, it really isn't much faster than the train, which takes almost five hours and treats passengers to unobstructed views of the Mediterranean Sea. The bus takes significantly longer but may be the most affordable option if you're making last-minute plans. If you have your own vehicle, you could also drive yourself and visit other cities along the way.

How to Get from Barcelona to Marseille

The high-speed AVE train from Barcelona to Marseille takes nearly five hours. Spain and France have some of the best railroads in the country, making trains a more comfortable and faster option over buses or cars. Even compared to flying, the train is nearly just as fast considering it takes you directly from city center to city center and skips all the hassles involved with airports (an extra benefit is that it's also the best option for the environment).

There is one daily train from Barcelona to Marseille that's jointly operated by Renfe of Spain and SNCF of France , and you can reserve a seat on the same train using either company. Tickets start at roughly $44, but quickly get more expensive as seats sell out and the travel date gets closer. Last-minute reservations can shoot up to over $150 for a one-way journey, so finalize your plans as soon as possible if you want to use the train.

Barcelona and Marseille each have multiple train stations, so regardless of what website you use to look for tickets, make sure you're starting from "Barcelona Sants" and heading toward "Marseille St. Charles."

For the quickest journey from Barcelona to Marseille, a plane gets you there in just over an hour. Of course, total travel time is much longer once you factor in all of the other hassles involved with airplane travel. It takes about 30 minutes to get to and from each airport by train from the city center, so transit alone adds another hour to your trek. All in all, taking a plane probably saves you a negligible amount of time compared to the train.

However, flights are usually very affordable since the low-cost airline Vueling covers the route, with tickets as low as about $25. If you procrastinated in booking your flight and tickets have gone up in price, try looking a few days before or after your set travel date; if you're even a little bit flexible with your plans, it's usually possible to find a better deal.

If you're OK with spending all day—or all night—seated on a bus, then you can save a lot of money if you make spur-of-the-moment plans to visit Marseille. Bus rides through FlixBus or BlaBlaBus start around $19, and you can even find same-day reservations for that low price. However, even last-minute plane tickets during the low tourist season can be very affordable, so don't assume the bus is your only option before comparing prices.

The trip lasts between seven and a half and eight and a half hours, but it's at least a scenic ride through France's southern coastline. Buses pick up in Barcelona either from the centrally located Sants or Nord train station and drop off in Marseille at the main St. Charles station.

The 310-mile (500-kilometer) drive from Barcelona to Marseille takes about five hours, traveling mainly on the AP-7 and A9 roads along the south of Spain and crossing the border into France. Keep in mind that AP roads have tolls, so it's best to bring some euros in cash and coins to pay during your road trip. If you're not from Spain, don't worry, it's still very easy to ​ rent a car for the drive. Plus, main rental car companies like Hertz, Budget, National, and Alamo are almost always available, especially if you pick up the vehicle at the airport.

Although there are many gorgeous seaside towns along this route, consider spending some time in Figueres . Just 90 minutes outside Barcelona (near the border of Spain and France), Figueres is a picture-perfect hamlet known for its Salvador Dali Museum.

If you don't plan on returning to Barcelona, be aware that rental companies often charge a hefty fee for picking up a vehicle in one country and dropping it off in another.

What to See in Marseille

The bustling port town is the second biggest city in France behind Paris and is also the oldest city in the country, dating back 2,600 years. Because of its long past, there are many historic sites to see, from Roman ruins and medieval churches to opulent palaces. The city is famously known as the place where bouillabaisse —French seafood stew—originated. You can't visit without trying this fresh fish dish for yourself.

Getting Around Marseille

Once you get to Marseille, the public transportation within the city is easy to manage for those who want to take the bus or train. There are many bus routes as well as two metro lines and two trams run by RTM —all of which are cheap and simple to figure out (even if you don't speak French). You can buy a public transit pass at any metro or bus station in Marseille, and that ticket works for the bus, metro, and tram. If you opt to buy a single ticket, remember it can only be used for one hour before it expires. For those staying in Marseille longer, it would be wise to purchase a week-long pass that is valid for seven days and only costs about $15.

Yes, there is one daily departing train from Barcelona to Marseille. You’ll depart from Barcelona Sants and head toward Marseille St. Charles.

There is no ferry from Barcelona to Marseille—you can reach the latter by train, bus, car, or a flight.

The high-speed train takes about five hours, comparable to driving time. It’s slower than flying but might be worth skipping the hassle of airport travel.
