The Bonifacio City Guides answer what every trip to this town on the cliffs raises: where to eat stuffed aubergines and farm charcuterie without paying quayside prices, which boat to take to the sea caves and the Lavezzi islands, where to watch the white cliffs turn gold at sunset and which beaches and mountain outings need a car. Each guide is a short, honest list that says why a place deserves its spot, what to order or look for and one practical tip, and it opens in your browser the moment you have paid.

Three places from the guides
Pâtisserie Sorba
Rue Saint-Érasme, near the marina
Ask anyone in town where to buy pain des morts and they send you here. The walnut and raisin brioche used to appear only around All Saints’ Day; now it is baked every day, and a slice with a coffee costs about €5. From the food guide.
Le Gouvernail de la Corse
Western end of the Haute Ville
Roughly 170 steps take you down inside the cliff to a Second World War gun post that looks straight out over the water. Entry is about €3, the air is cool even in August and you see the sea at a level normally reserved for boats. From the things to do guide.
Santa Teresa di Gallura
Sardinia, about 50 min by ferry
Cross the strait as a foot passenger for roughly €15 to €25 each way and step off in a lively Sardinian town whose main square is lined with cafés. Pasta or pizza for lunch costs about half of what it does in Bonifacio. From the beaches and day trips guide.
Plan your days in Bonifacio
Day one: climb the Montée Rastello steps from the port to the Haute Ville, see Sainte Marie Majeure, go down the tunnel to the Gouvernail and walk out to the marine cemetery. Take the short boat tour to the Sdragonato cave in the afternoon, have an aperitif at A Bitiga and eat Corsican in the upper town. Day two: pick up sandwiches in the old town and spend the day on the Lavezzi, or walk the cliff path to the Pertusato lighthouse and swim at the Sperone coves. For a windy, wet or slow day, when the boats stay in port, take the coach to Porto-Vecchio’s old town or drive up to the Ospedale lake and the Piscia di Ghjaddu waterfall in the Alta Rocca.
