​​Welcome to Marseille
"Maritime History and Multiculturalism"

Welcome to Marseille, the enchanting jewel of the Mediterranean! Nestled on the stunning French Riviera, Marseille offers an irresistible blend of history, culture, and natural beauty that will leave you spellbound. Step into Marseille's old town, Le Panier, where narrow cobblestone streets wind their way through charming neighborhoods adorned with colorful facades. Discover hidden squares, quaint boutiques, and bustling markets that will transport you back in time. Explore the city's rich maritime history at the Old Port, where fishermen still sell their daily catch amidst a backdrop of historic buildings. Visit the Fort Saint-Jean, an ancient fortress that guards the harbor and offers panoramic views of the Mediterranean. Marseille is a haven for food lovers, with a thriving culinary scene that showcases the best of Provençal cuisine. Savor bouillabaisse, the city's signature fish stew, at a waterfront restaurant, or indulge in fresh Mediterranean seafood accompanied by local wines. For art and culture enthusiasts, Marseille is a treasure trove. Wander through the MuCEM, a stunning museum dedicated to Mediterranean civilizations, and explore contemporary art at the vibrant Friche la Belle de Mai cultural complex. Nature lovers will be in awe of the Calanques, a series of dramatic limestone cliffs and turquoise waters just a short drive from the city center. Hike, swim, or take a boat tour to immerse yourself in this natural wonderland. Marseille's diverse neighborhoods, from the multicultural Noailles to the trendy Cours Julien, offer a glimpse into the city's dynamic and welcoming spirit. Engage with locals, enjoy street performances, and savor the lively atmosphere that permeates every corner. As the sun sets over the Mediterranean, Marseille's nightlife comes alive. From bustling bars to world-class clubs, you can dance the night away or unwind with a cocktail while taking in the breathtaking coastal views. Marseille beckons you to embrace its unique blend of cultures, flavors, and landscapes. So why wait? Come and experience the allure of Marseille, France, where every day is a new adventure waiting to be explored. Your journey begins here!

What a rollercoaster ride! This victory was never certain, though at some point it looked very likely that Chile would grab their second gold medal in only 3 editions. However, when we were down to the last set of votes, three countries still had the chance to win; Lithuania was in the lead ahead of Netherlands and Canada. But that last set of votes shook things up once again, and we ended up with a tie for first place, with Lithuania slipping down into 3rd place. Netherlands received votes from 17 juries, and when only 16 juries had supported Canada, the gold went to Europe. Denmark and Chile rounded out the top 5.

Netherlands was one of the founding members of Global Music, but they had to wait until their 99th participation to win the big trophy! Their first top 10 result was achieved in GM07, and the first medal - one of bronze - came in GM09. It has, however, always been up and down for Netherlands, and they have missed the final in almost every third participation. They have also come very close to victory before, winning 4 silver medals, first claimed by Glennis Grace in GM29 and then followed by Petra Berger in GM42, Kim-Lian and Linda Bengtzing in GM49 and Mr Probz in GM106. And then finally in GM113 Lisa Lois finished on top bringing Global Music to Netherlands for the first time. A few more medals followed, before the current HoD, Romeo, took over the reigns as recently as GM145. Since then Netherlands has done really well with 11 top 5 finishes including 7 medals! They took home the trophy in GM152, when HAEVN collected most points and then again with Davina Michelle in GM159, and now ESC winner Duncan Laurence claims the fourth gold medal for Netherlands. Well done Netherlands, Duncan and Romeo!
