With its beautiful pastel-hued historic core and stylish waterfront promenade, it’s no surprise that Corsica’s pretty capital is always buzzing with activity. Visit the house where Napoleon Bonaparte was born in 1769; head west along the coast to chill out at Ariane beach or Marinella beach; indulge in some fascinating people-watching at an Old Town café; or take a stroll along the waterfront, which is full of sun-worshipers by day and party people by night. At the end of the day, order yourself a hearty serving of Corsica’s signature dish, civet de sanglier (wild boar casserole) and wash it down with a glass of the wonderful local wine. You’ll find the best bars along Boulevard Pascal Rossini on the waterfront or along Roi de Rome in the Old Town.
