Currency [Euro - EUR](https://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/?Amount=1&From=EUR)

## Getting ashore

Ships anchor in the bay below the town, and passengers are tendered to the harbour. The old town is on the cliffs above, reached by a steep stairway.

## Watch-outs

The stairs up from the harbour are very steep, with over 180 steps. Take the time, and do not rush. Tender times depend on the wind.

## Haute Ville

The upper town is a fortified medieval town on a limestone cliff, with the Genoese citadel, narrow streets and views across the Strait of Bonifacio to Sardinia.

## Strait and the coast

Boat trips run through the strait and along the cliffs, with caves and the Grotte di Sdragonato. The Sardinian coast is visible from the top.

## Food & shopping

Corsican food includes brocciu cheese, charcuterie and seafood. Restaurants in the lower town are the easiest choice.

## Money & connectivity

The currency is the euro. Cards are accepted in most places, and ATMs are in the town.

## Accessibility & mobility

The stairs are very steep and not accessible for anyone with limited mobility. Tender landings involve a step. Ask your operator and ship about access before booking, and consider a boat tour of the cliffs instead.
