The southernmost city (or almost) of metropolitan France, can hardly be an exclusive destination for a trip to Corsica. Unless you wanted to take a quick trip from Sardinia; a scooter or a quad are excellent solutions for getting around Bonifacio.
The village can easily be explored on foot, and a two-wheeler (or quad) is ideal for visiting the surroundings of the city. There are several rental agencies in the city.
Without a doubt the best and healthiest way to discover Bonifacio, the village and the Citadel. Starting, of course, from the Marina and the port, where you can breathe the sea air and where you can stop to taste seafood delicacies or do a bit of shopping.
For lovers of breathtaking views, the Salita of Rastello is an absolutely unmissable stop. And then, there are some wonderful itineraries and paths… all to be discovered!
Practical. Trendy. Eco-friendly. The two-wheeler is now one of the means of transport increasingly used for one’s travel. And Bonifacio, in this sense, represents a fantastic opportunity not only to tour the small town, but, above all, to admire its surroundings.
Moreover, Bonifacio is the starting point (or arrival point depending on where you look at it) of the GT20, the wonderful cycling itinerary of Corsica. From Capi to Bonifazu, for 13 stages and 550 km in total, to be covered on your bike, mountain bike or electric bike. In the city you will also find several rental agencies.
From April to the beginning of November, a nice tourist train is in operation that will take you to discover the nerve centers of the city, connecting the Marina with the Citadel. A rather unusual way for getting around Bonifacio!
The train leaves approximately every 30 minutes near the Harbour Office (where you can buy tickets for €6 for a return trip).
Beach service is also provided with regular lines to the beaches of Piantarella, Sperone and Santa-Manza with Trasporti Massimi. The same company also offers transport services “à la demande” throughout the island with cars and buses with drivers, for the transport of up to a maximum of 51 passengers. For all the information, consult the official website from this link.
Motorbikes and scooters are undoubtedly extremely practical solutions for getting around Bonifacio and setting off to discover its beautiful beaches; in particular, those along the eastern stretch up to Porto Vecchio. The western coast, up to the Gulf of Ajaccio, also offers great satisfaction for sea lovers. There are rental agencies in the city that offer rather competitive rates.
You can also take advantage of the presence in Bonifacio of some completely FREE parking areas! At the entrance to each parking area, availability is indicated in real time by special signs. There are also “express parking” intended exclusively for stops within 20 minutes.
MOVING BY CAR
In our opinion, a car is to be considered if you arrive with your own vehicle or are traveling with your family. It is better to opt for a more practical “two wheels”.
