City facts that are useful

Bastia, like the rest of Corsica, has a Mediterranean climate with long, hot summers and brief, moderate winters. The average high temperature in August, the warmest month, is 29°C (85°F), and 14°C (57°F) in January. The rainy season in Bastia lasts from October to December, with virtually little rain in July and August. Bastia is also one of France's sunniest cities, with over 1,000 more hours of sunlight each year than Paris.

Despite the fact that almost everyone on the island speaks French, Corsica's native language is Corsican. It is a Romance language, like French, although it is more akin to Italian. Corsican is believed to have between 250,000 and 300,000 speakers worldwide, with the majority of them residing in Corsica. Many Corsican cultural centers may be found in Bastia and other cities on the island. Even among those working in the service business, English proficiency is not very high.

Best vacation spots and activities

The historic port. The historic naval station, known in French as Vieux Port, is now one of Bastia's most famous tourist attractions. The Old Port, which is made up of ancient buildings that contain restaurants and cafeterias, cultural organizations, and a magnificent marina, is a favorite spot for resting and watching Mediterranean sunsets. Many more Bastia sites, such as the Bastia market square, are only around the block.

Cathedral of St. Jean Baptiste. St. Jean Baptiste Cathedral, also in the port area, is one of the most beautiful buildings not just in Bastia, but in all of Corsica. The cathedral is as magnificent on the interior as it is on the outside, with elaborate windows and specimens of holy art. The cathedral is a historical monument and one of the most visited and photographed locations in the city.

Citadel of Bastia The citadel, which was built in the late 14th century by the Genoese who dominated the island at the time, is today a fortified district holding many of the city's attractions. The Governor's Palace, the City History Museum, the Donjon Square, and the Cathedral of St. Mary are all located here. After touring the citadel, go to the adjacent Romieu Gardens to relax in the shade or have a picnic.
