Destination 2013 Marseille France

 
 
 
Marseille, France
 
Paris, c’est fini. We’re kidding, obviously, but Marseille, Europe’s latest Capital of Culture, is l’endroit to be in 2013, with a rejuvenated waterfront; starchitecture courtesy of Zaha Hadid and Kengo Kuma; a new mouthful of a museum, the Musée des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la Méditerranée; a 2,000-seat concert hall; and much more. Plus, its Mediterranean location means that France’s oldest and second largest city has always had great seafood (bouillabaisse was born here) and sun (over 300 days a year). Don’t expect polish — this former industrial city is still gritty, but you'll leave with considerably more Euros in your pocket than you would post Paris.
