Ajaccio Tourism
Ajaccio has all the attractions necessary to charm you. Sea, mountains and city centre, nothing will stop you from falling under its spell.
A visit to Ajaccio has something to satisfy every tourist: whether curious about history and exploring it, whether preferring vivid sensations and excursions, or whether more for lounging on the beach or walking on the mountain, there is something for all tastes. Anything is possible here, and the city’s enjoyment of life invites relaxation and escape. The old city is best seen on foot, by wandering down the streets, looking at the colourful houses, its fishing port and lively terraces. With regard to history, it would be difficult to miss Napoleon who is, to some extent, the child of the country. You can admire the monument to his glory in the Place d’Austerlitz, visit the Maison Bonaparte, in which the family lived from the end of the 17th century, and the Corsican History Museum, to get to know the island better.
Tourism in Ajaccio naturally makes the most of several beaches, and rest assured: there are more than twenty around the gulf of the city. There is even one in the city centre, close to the Citadelle. You can even choose to get away from it all and explore the beaches on the coast of the Îles Sanguinaires, where the sunset is magical.
Not far from there, do not miss a visit to the gulf of Valinco, about an hour away from Ajaccio, and discover the towns of Propriano or Sartène, called “ the most Corsican of Corsican towns ”. In this magnificent setting, several beaches, coves and bays await you, as well as the prestigious archaeological site at Filitosa.
