Why choose Bastia for your road trip

Bastia — a city worth exploring

Bastia's Place Saint-Nicolas stretches 280 metres along the seafront, making it one of the largest squares in France and the beating heart of this Corsican port city. The old harbour, known as the Vieux Port, is lined with colourful buildings that reflect off the water, while the Citadelle perched above holds the Palais des Gouverneurs and the Musée de Bastia, which traces the island's history from antiquity to the present day. The twin-towered Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste dominates the harbour skyline and is the largest church in Corsica. Wander through the Terra Vecchia quarter to find artisan shops and local eateries tucked into narrow lanes. Beyond the city, Cap Corse — a rugged peninsula stretching 40 km north — offers dramatic coastal drives with hairpin bends and tiny fishing villages. Corte, the historic mountain capital of Corsica, sits 69 km south and makes a rewarding day trip through the island's interior gorges. Bastia is well connected by ferry to mainland France and Italy, so it serves as a natural starting point for exploring the whole island on wheels. With a motorhome or campervan, you can set your own pace along the winding coastal roads. Through Yescapa, you can hire directly from local owners in Bastia and across Corsica, which means personal tips on the best routes and a more affordable, peer-to-peer way to travel.

Best time to visit

Bastia welcomes visitors comfortably from April through October. The Fêtes de la Saint-Jean in late June fill the old town with bonfires, music and processions, while Les Musicales de Bastia in early November bring classical concerts to historic venues across the city. Spring and early autumn are ideal for campervan travel, with quieter roads around Cap Corse and easy access to campsites. Summer is the most popular season, so we recommend booking your vehicle on Yescapa well in advance to lock in the best choice from local owners. Peer-to-peer hire often means more flexible pick-up options and competitive rates compared to peak-season pricing.

Where to park your motorhome

Parking a motorhome or campervan in Bastia requires a bit of planning, as the old town streets are narrow and not suited to larger vehicles. Dedicated parking areas on the outskirts and near the port make it straightforward to leave your vehicle and explore on foot. Overnight parking in public car parks is generally tolerated unless signs state otherwise, but always check local signage. For longer stays, a campsite with a proper pitch is the most comfortable option.

  • Parking du Port Toga, 1km north — Large open-air car park near the Toga marina, north of the old port. Suitable for motorhomes and campervans, with easy walking access to the city centre.
  • Parking de la Gare, 1km southwest — Located next to Bastia railway station. Offers flat tarmac spaces that can accommodate larger vehicles. Close to shops and the main bus routes.
  • Parking Aldilonda, 1km east — Near the Aldilonda coastal walkway beneath the Citadelle. Limited spaces for larger vehicles but a convenient spot for a short daytime stop while visiting the old town.

It was our first time traveling with a camper, and renting this one for our trip around Mallorca turned out to be an absolutely amazing and unforgettable experience that exceeded all our expectations. The camper was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Everything was well-maintained and thoughtfully equipped, which made our first camper trip easy and enjoyable. Communication with Gustavo was excellent from start to finish. He always responded very quickly, was friendly and helpful, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. He also shared some fantastic recommendations for places to visit and park around the island, which made our trip even better. We couldn't have asked for a better first camper experience and would highly recommend both the camper and Gustavo to anyone planning a trip to Mallorca. We would happily rent it again in the future!

It was perfect. The owner is a very nice guy who picked us up from Funchal to get to Machico and explained everything about the car. The car included everything that was needed for our roadtrip. The tent is spacious and the amenities were of good quality. Overall it was an amazing experience to enjoy the island this way!

Il viaggio e l'esperienza con il van di Luis a Madeira è stata fantastica. Se hai un po' di esperienza alla guida con questo van puoi raggiungere tutti i più bei posti di Madeira nonostante le strade non siano sempre semplici a causa di ripide salite e discese. Il proprietario, Luis, è una persona adorabile e molto gentile e disponibile, sempre pronto a rispondere a qualsiasi dubbio. Madeira è molto van friendly e abbiamo dormito in posti con viste mozzafiato senza nessun problema. Nel van troverai qualsiasi cosa di cui tu possa aver bisogno, assolutamente consigliato!
