Ajaccio is a French commune and capital city of Corsica, located on the west coast of the island. It’s a vibrant city with over 70,000 residents. Ajaccio was also home to the best known Corsican in the world – Napoleon Bonaparte – who was born here in 1769.

If you’re fascinated by Napoleon Bonaparte’s story, Ajaccio is a great place to follow his steps as a child. Every corner of the city is marked by his presence, so don’t worry – you won’t miss anything. Your first stop in the adventure of getting to know Napoleon Bonaparte is his family home – Maison Bonaparte. Now it’s a museum where you can see original decors, furniture and documents from the time when Napoleon lived there.

Whether you’re interested in Napoleon or not, you’ll be delighted by Ajaccio because it has so much more to offer. For example, if you’re eager for more cultural experience, visit Musée Fesch. Here you can admire fine art and great collection of Italian Renaissance paintings. You’ll see masterpieces of artists such as Titian, Michelangelo, Botticelli, Fra Bartolomeo, and Vasari. 

After exhilarating experiences that you might be through, it’s good to cool off on sandy beaches, which Ajaccio has in abundance. Exceptional quality of water, soft sand and palm-lined promenades make beaches in Ajaccio one of the best in Corsica.
