Review:
One of the most prominent and controversial features of the Old Port is Le Grand Roue de Marseille, a 55m high giant ferris wheel. The attraction was constructed in Italy and has stood tall and proud in the Old Port since 2017. It is controversial in that many locals feel that it is too intrusive in the Old Port area. The massive ferris wheel (the second tallest one on France) can carry more than 200 guests at a time and features a VIP cabin where you will enjoy a glass of champagne as you set off on your ride. The ferris wheel is open daily from 10.30am to 11pm, weather dependent, and children under the age of 2 ride for free.
