The Ajaccio City Guides answer what visitors really want to know: where to buy charcuterie from the people who raise the pigs, how to see the Napoleon sights without the cruise crowds, which beaches bus 5 reaches and where the evening goes after the aperitif. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look out for and one practical tip per place, ready in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
U Campanile – Chez Pascale
Rue Saint-Charles, behind the cathedral
A narrow lane of tables, a blackboard of home cooking and a single server keeping everything moving. This is the place for brocciu cannelloni, veal with olives and fiadone made the old island way. From the food guide.
Cathedral Santa Maria Assunta
Rue Forcioli Conti, old town
Behind a sober late 16th-century front waits a warm, ochre baroque interior. Napoleon was baptised here in 1771, and Delacroix’s Virgin of the Sacred Heart hangs inside. From the things to do guide.
Calanques de Piana
Road between Piana and Porto
Red granite cliffs worn into odd shapes plunge straight into the sea, inside a UNESCO site. The road through them is narrow and dramatic, with short paths leading out from small lay-bys. From the beaches and day trips guide.
Plan your days in Ajaccio
Day one: Maison Bonaparte and the Fesch Museum in the morning, lunch in an old-town Corsican kitchen, the market and the harbour, then bus 5 to the Parata for sunset over the Sanguinaires. Day two: the boat across the gulf to the sands of Porticcio, or the coach to the Calanques de Piana, with an old-town wine bar to finish. For a rainy or slow day, stay with the museums, the town hall’s Napoleon room and a long Corsican lunch.
