We were there, when the yearly salon de chocolat was happening, a sort of trade fair surrounding the production of chocolate and sweets in Corsica. This was worth it. Otherwise its a lively space with lots of cafés and restaurants right next to the harbour. Heart of the town.
Nice plaza to walk around with plenty of bars / restaurants. Worth looking behind the main square to get real feel of the city and it's quaint back streets and bars which are just as good but easier on the wallet.
Huge main square in Bastia. Toward the port are parking spaces . Surranded by trees, there are planty of bars and restaurants in the shade. On Sunday you can find flea market and also different resellers. We checked it and then grabed a coffee. In the evenings is emptier, you should check the old market by the main church or marina with restaurants.
Beautiful place bordered by an avenue. You can sit in the shade, there are a variety of restaurants and bars. We were allowed to attend the fireworks on July 14, great atmosphere, highly recommended.
Great cafes, champagne, ice cream, chats and good atmosphere
A good place to park, close to shops and the citadel. I recommend parking inside to beat the heat. The entrance to the underground portion is close to the exit on the right, so, it is a little confusing.
Very nice clean Place with statues Market and lots of cafe style tables. Mature trees and shade if needed
I expected Santa Nicola di Bari with his three balls, I found Napoleon with way smaller balls instead 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
Public area not too crowded
Place to explore when you are waiting for your ferry. There was a flea market on Sunday morning. You can grab coffee and snacks from nearby shops.
A nice place to hang in the cafe bars.
A lot of activitty. A lot of place to stop. But no icecream.
