Information about the city

LIVE TO THE RHYTHM OF THE CITY

Gateway to Corsica, Bastia offers the visitor its authentic beauty: its colorful buildings with slate roofs, its art de vivre, its traditions, its immense artistic and cultural heritage make it a city with deep Mediterranean charm.From the vast square Place St. Nicolas to the Marchet place, in the shade of century-old sycamores, it is wonderful to stroll in small walk-only streets, bordered by fancy boutiques where Corsican-made products are exposed with brio.

The typical small streets of Terra Vecchia meander up to the handle of the Vieux-Port, unavoidable cradle of the city and meeting place of fishermen and leisure lovers. The lively terraces of restaurants and cafes are an invitation to a relaxation break, before going to the quiet garden Romieu, leading directly to the Citadelle neighborhood, which houses the Palais des Gouverneurs, where are exposed the museum’s collections et offers a superb panorama from its hanging gardens.

U SPASSIMARE

U Spassimare, a gentle lane, stretching like a ribbon from the Marina of Toga to the Arinella Beach, offers a beautiful stroll along the seafront of Bastia.
This new development represents an unusual tourist itinerary allowing you to discover :

• the famous Place Saint Nicolas,
• the picturesque Old Port via the Quai des Martyrs,
• the Aldilonda, a footbridge over the waves offering a breathtaking view,
• the Arinella beach, and its water leisure base.

If you are looking for a moment of relaxation, U Spassimare will take you to the Figaghjola beach, a small pebble beach on which the Church of Saint Joseph seems to watch over. A little preference for sandy beaches, continue our walk to the Arinella beach, equipped with games for children, but also with a nautical base to satisfy your desire for active leisure.
