Best vacation spots and activities

Citadel. The castle, which dominates the vista of Ajaccio if you arrive by sea, is one of the city's emblems. It was built in the late 15th century and has been restored several times. It is similar to the great fortifications of Genoa. Although you can't go inside the citadel since it still houses the French military, seeing it from the outside is one of the best things to do in Ajaccio.

House of Napoleon. Most people are aware that Napoleon Bonaparte was one of France's most famous and accomplished military leaders. It is less well-known, however, that he was born in Corsica and that his mother tongue was Corsican rather than French. Maison Bonaparte, where he was born, has been transformed into an attractive museum and is one of the main tourist attractions of Ajaccio.

Fesch, Musee Corsica has long had strong links with Italy; the Corsican language is more similar to Italian than French, and the island of Sardinia is only a short distance away. These ties also extend to art, as seen by this Ajaccio museum, which has paintings by world-renowned Italian masters like as Raphael, Sandro Botticelli, and Titian.
