We begin our private walking tour at the Citadel of Ajaccio, the historical origin of the city. There you will learn how the Genoese founded Ajaccio in 1492 and why Corsica played a key strategic role in the Mediterranean for centuries.

Ajaccio is not just about buildings and squares – the city's soul lies in the stories of its inhabitants, past and present generations. As we stroll through the Old Town and its historic squares, we will encounter figures from Corsican history, including Danielle Casanova, Pasquale Paoli, Charles-André Pozzo di Borgo, and, of course, Napoleon Bonaparte, who was born in Ajaccio. In doing so, we will discover, among other things, Rue Bonaparte, the Bonaparte House, and other places closely linked to the history of the city.

Our route continues to the Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption cathedral, Place Foch, and through the historic alleys of the old town. Along the way, you will gain insights into the culture, traditions, and modern life of the people of Ajaccio, as well as the culinary specialties of Corsica. You will learn how Ajaccio evolved over the centuries from a Genoese fortress to a vibrant Mediterranean city.
