What to do and see in Ajaccio, Corsica: The Best Sightseeing Tours

October 4, 2021 Venice Greaves

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.

Even the two hour quad tour takes you through varying terrain and amazing landscapes. The views of the ocean and the coast are stunning both from near and afar. Riding a quad is generally a very enjoyable experience. These things are super sturdy and can handle any trail. The guide ensures the trip is safe, fun, and the participants learn a little bit about the area.

This is another place where the Emperor is acknowledged. A nice walk from the harbour (uphill of course), located in a beautiful park. The monument lists a compilation of the major accomplishments of Napoleon, with his statue overlooking Ajaccio. A few restaurants nearby. You can also take le petit train if you prefer not to walk. However, when walking, you pass some beautiful houses along the treelined road. One of the many places where Napoleon is recognized in Ajaccio.
