Ajaccio is a city in the French commune of Ajaccio on the island region of Corsica. It is the second largest city in the region.

Ajaccio is built around a harbour and covers the coastline of the majority of the gulf where it is located.

The city is known as the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. His house is now a popular museum and must-visit tourist destination, aptly named Casa Buonaparte.

Most visitors enjoy visiting the vineyards, but the Museum Fesch is another popular stop in addition to the Bonaparte house.

Ajaccio is accessible from mainland Europe by ferry and plane. The city is home to the largest airport on the island, Aeroport de Campo Dell’Oro (airport code AJA), and ferries travel regularly between Ajaccio and Porto Torres, Nice, Toulon and Marseille.
