Practical tips for making the most of the card

  1. Plan by proximity: start with nearby museums (MuCEM, History Museum, Cantini) for walking tours.
  2. Combine museum + walk: alternate between museums and walks on the Old Port or the Corniche to vary the atmospheres.
  3. Check opening hours: some museums close on Tuesdays, others have reduced opening hours in winter.
  4. Public transport: buses, metro or port shuttles can connect to more distant museums (Palais Longchamp, MAC).
  5. For families: MuCEM and Jardin des Vestiges are very suitable for children, with outdoor spaces and interactive exhibitions.
  6. Complete cultural visit: in 2 days, you can combine MuCEM + History Museum on the first day, and Cantini + Centre Vieille Charité on the second day.
