Ajaccio tourist information
where to go - what to see - what to doAjaccio's greatest claim to fame is Napoleon Bonaparte who was born here in 1769. There are numerous museums dedicated to Ajaccio's hero and on August 15th every year the town celebrates his birthday in style.
Ajaccio is a pleasant town to discover with narrow shaded streets and a beach that is backed by a tree-lined promenade. The port bustles with activity and if you wander along the quayside to the Jetee de la Citadelle you'll be rewarded with great views of the town, marina and the Golfe d'Ajaccio.
From the Jetee you'll also be able to hop on a boat to the stunning Iles Sanguinaires, which seen from the shores of Ajaccio turn red as the sun sets (hence the name Bloody Islands). The island is also known for its huge colony of seagulls.
The daily market in the old town of Ajaccio is the ideal opportunity to indulge yourself - try some of the many fine pastries, cheeses and liqueurs on sale here.
