Along the way the best local cafes and restaurants are marked out -- all so you can get the best out of a city in a short time.And this is just the start -- well-mapped neighborhood chapters get you under the skin of an area. You'll find themed walks, days out further afield, and masses of carefully researched practical information about where to have fun, eat, and stay.A big recent push in local tourism means that unspoiled Corsica is fast becoming a popular alternative to the bustling French Riviera, and Cadogan's brand new guide contains entertaining and intelligent sections on the multitude of things to do and see on this spectacular island of mountainous forests and lush valleys. Comprehensive listings point out the best places to wine and dine as well as the unmissable festivals and markets. Practical and reliable advice is offered on where to hike, climb, sail, or pot-hole, and easy-to-follow maps help seek out Napoleon's birthplace, or the walled citadel of Calvi.
