The Town
Bastia isn't a large town and all its sights can easily be seen in a day without the use of a car. The spacious place St-Nicolas is the focus of town life: open to the sea and lined with shady trees and cafes, it's the most pleasant spot for soaking up the atmosphere. Running parallel to it on the landward side are boulevard Paoli and rue Cesar Campinchi , the two main shopping streets, but all Bastia's historic sights lie within Terra Vecchia , the old quarter immediately south of place St-Nicolas, and Terra Nova , the area surrounding the citadel. There's not much of interest in the Nouveau Port area, north of the centre, other than restaurants and downmarket bars.
