Great harbour and the citadel is even greater, one of the best places to see on Corsica. You can park for free for 40 mins at the bottom and there is a big parking at the top. To see it all count atleast half a day. More

You can't go to Corsica and miss Bonifacio...We stayed at the Miramar Hotel in Propriano and the drive is about 1hr15. Totally worth it, you can definitely go for the day and enjoy the drive. In the meantime, go for a boat ride to the Lavezzi islands. Magical! More

We walked up to the citadel few times during our stay. You can walk the old city wall. There are quite lots of restaurants and creperies up there. More

If you've never seen a fortified 9th Century city, you must see Bonifacio and the Citadel. Walking the streets at sunset takes you back 2000 years in an instant. My short hop from Sardinia to Corsica turned out to be a wonderful idea. More

This is a stunning citadel and well worth the effort but do not attempt it if you are at all unsteady on your feet - think "mountain goat in trainers" as an ideal tourist. Even the little tourist train can't go through the very narrow, steep streets. More
