Bastia Tourism

The entrance to Corsica for several continentals, Bastia sets the mood immediately: its opening to the Mediterranean and unique atmosphere promise plenty of other lovely surprises.

When it comes to tourism in Bastia, it is difficult to get bored. The Corsican city benefits from the charm of the old Mediterranean cities and has the best reasons to attract anyone who ventures to explore it. If it takes its name from a fortress erected in 1380 by the Genoese, called “a bastia”, its charm rests on the lanes bordered by high houses with coloured shutters, as well as proximity to both mountains and the sea. The setting of places such as the Place Saint-Nicolas prepares the ground for the dream holiday that awaits you in Bastia: palm trees, laundry hanging from the windows, and colourful houses set the tone.

At the heart of the city, you can visit the districts whose names alone are enough to start dreaming, such as Terra Vecchia and Terra Nova for example. You can discover the largest church in Corsica, the Saint Jean-Baptise church, located right next to the old city. The building’s two bell towers dominate the Vieux-Port.

Make the most of your stay in Bastia by visiting other emblematic locations, such as the Genoese fortress, which is reachable by an impressive staircase, as well as the Jardin Romieu, the former Palais des Gouverneurs and the Cathédrale Sainte-Marie-de-l’Assomption.
