Practical tips

💡
Check the airport on your ticket

Paris has several airports. Before leaving, reread your e-ticket to confirm the departure airport and terminal. It is the best way to avoid going to the wrong place, especially if you book through a comparison site.

💡
Book early to keep a good fare

Fares to Corsica rise mostly in summer and school holidays. Book as soon as your dates are set, and compare several departure days: shifting by a single day can noticeably lower the bill.

💡
Plan your luggage ahead

The lowest fares often include only a small bag. If you are staying several days, add checked luggage when booking: it is usually cheaper than paying at the airport counter.

💡
Keep a margin at the airport

Without a car, you rely on public transport to reach the airport. Leave well ahead to absorb a delayed train, metro or shuttle, and consider an early-morning flight as a fallback option.

💡
Prepare your arrival in Ajaccio

On arrival, Napoléon Bonaparte airport is close to the city centre. Work out in advance how to reach your accommodation (shuttle, city bus or taxi), especially if you land late in the day.

What to do in Ajaccio?

Local experiences, must-see sights and activities selected for you

MUST-SEE
👑
Maison Bonaparte, Napoleon's Birthplace
Napoleon's birthplace on rue Saint-Charles, furnished in period style with family portraits and belongings. Allow 45 minutes. Entry is around 7€, sometimes free on the first Sunday of the month in low season. Avoid midday in summer, as queues build up quickly.
🎨
Palais Fesch Fine Arts Museum
France's second-largest Italian painting collection after the Louvre, assembled by Cardinal Fesch, Napoleon's uncle. Tuscan primitives, Botticelli, Titian. Entry from 8€. Allow 1.5 hours and use it as a rainy-day plan. Usually closed on Tuesdays, so check opening hours.
⛪
Notre-Dame de l'Assomption Cathedral
Sixteenth-century cathedral where Napoleon was baptized in 1771, steps from the old town. Baroque interior with a Delacroix painting, the Virgin of the Sacred Heart. Free entry, modest dress required. Visit late morning, when the light inside is at its best.
🛍️
Covered Market and Place Foch
The Campinchi market near the port gathers Corsican charcuterie, brocciu, honey and cheeses. Go in the morning, before noon. Buy sheep's milk tome and figatellu for a picnic, around 10 to 15€. Then stroll to Place Foch, shaded by palm trees, for a coffee.
🏖️
Trottel Beach and Swimming
Urban beach reachable on foot or by bus from the centre, with fine sand and calm water, ideal for a swim without a car. Busiest in July and August. For more peace, choose June or September, when the water is still pleasantly warm.
🌅
Sunset at the Sanguinaires Islands
Twelve kilometres from the centre, the Sanguinaires road leads to Pointe de la Parata, facing the archipelago glowing at dusk. Paid parking in summer. Arrive one hour before sunset and have a seafood dinner by the water, from 25€.
🛥️
Boat Trip to Scandola or the Sanguinaires
From Tino Rossi harbour, boats cruise along the Sanguinaires in about 2 hours, from 30€. The UNESCO-listed Scandola reserve is a full-day outing and costs more. Book the day before in season, and bring a windbreaker and water.
⛰️
Hike Around Pointe de la Parata
Coastal trail from the Genoese tower at La Parata toward the Chapelle des Grecs and the Scudo, very quiet off-season. Allow 2 to 3 hours, and wear proper walking shoes. Start early in summer to avoid the heat, and carry water.

How long to visit Ajaccio?

2 to 3 days

Plan 2 to 3 days in Ajaccio: the old town, Maison Bonaparte, Fesch Museum, the market and the harbour take one day.
