What to do and see in Ajaccio, Corsica: The Best Free Things to do

February 23, 2022 Terina Blouin

Ajaccio, Corsica's main city, is fun to visit at any time of year. But if you're a secret (or not-so-secret) Napoleon Bonaparte groupie, plan to be there on August 15 and join the celebration of the birthday of Ajaccio's most famous son. Casa Buonaparte, Napoleon's family home and birthplace, is worth a visit, as is the town cathedral. Or just enjoy the Corsican sun.

Iles Sanguinaires

Reviewed By h_schamhardt - The Netherlands, null

We drove to the point, with lots of parking available (if all full, it probably would have been way too busy!) Then walk around the point on natural paths (nothing too exiting) and have beautiful views of Corsican coast. As it was quite windy (although sunny), there were amazing waves crashing into the coast. View of the Îles was nice (and reachable by easier path), climb to the base of the tower steps, with further tremendous views.

Place de Gaulle

Reviewed By Cegagui

That Square, formerly called Place du Diamant, symbolizes its status as an Imperial City, proud of its history and its illustrious child, Napoleon Bonaparte. In addition, the Square is facing the Mediterranean very well located as right place of life and for walks.

Place Foch

Reviewed By analytic10

Buzzing place at the center of Ajaccio. There is a market with local produce such as cheeses, salamis, handicrafts. Very well worth buying stuff here to take home. On one day there was a wonderful marching band performing here. Faces the marina. Surrounding the central monument statue are main roads radiating in all directions and plenty of shops and restaurants. The hop on hop off tourist bus starts here
