Ajaccio, Corsica Walking Tour - Markets, Beaches, Cathedral, Napoleon Bonaparte and Fesch Museums

The Old Town of Ajaccio is perfect for a scenic and historic walking tour. Just off the cruise port everything to see and do is easily reached afoot. Nestled along the Ajaccio harbor, it’s filled with beautiful beaches, a citadel, shops, picturesque squares, museums and restaurants. Being the Birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte, the town retraces his controversial and monumental legacy. As an Acupuncturist-at-Sea, I enjoyed my Ajaccio Corsica walking tour and love sharing tips.
Ajaccio is the capital city of Corsica and the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. There are many monuments and squares paying homage to him, even though he never returned home. The city lies along Corsica’s west coast on the Gulf of Ajaccio. The Old Town is a charming, historic area with pastel buildings, a citadel, museums and picturesque squares. In town beautiful beaches adorn the coast along with restaurants and bars. The sprawling modern city spreads along the entire harbor east of Old Town.
