Bonifacio - Corsica

Bonifacio, located at the southern tip of Corsica, is a breathtaking town perched atop dramatic white limestone cliffs that plunge into the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean. Often called the “Citadel of the Sea,” it offers panoramic views stretching all the way to the nearby coast of Sardinia on clear days. The town is divided into two distinct parts: The Upper Town, a maze of medieval streets surrounded by ancient ramparts, where you’ll find charming squares, churches, and historical buildings. The Marina, bustling with cafés, restaurants, and yachts, offering a lively atmosphere and fresh seafood straight from the sea. Bonifacio is also a gateway to some of Corsica’s most beautiful natural sights, including hidden coves, pristine beaches, and hiking trails like the famous Sentier des Falaises. A boat trip to explore the surrounding sea caves and nearby Lavezzi Islands is a must. With its rich history, dramatic scenery, and authentic Corsican charm, Bonifacio is a destination that perfectly blends cultural discovery and natural beauty.
