One of the Mediterranean's most accessible, yet least spoilt islands, with some of its best beaches and most beautiful mountain scenery, Corsica is an increasingly popular holiday destination. This guide features detailed town write-ups, as well as fully up-to-date hotel and restaurant listings. This edition includes a new chapter on long-distance walks, including a full account of GR20 - regarded as Europe's leading "haute route".

5.0 out of 5 stars
very useful and intersting,
By Mani Gal (manigal@hotmail.com) (Ein Gedi, Israel) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Corsica: The Rough Guide, Second Edition (2nd ed)(Rough Guides) (Paperback)
I travelled Corsica with a rented car. The book gave me almost all I needed - information about the atractions, historical background, cultural interesting articles, and tips about hotels etc... The tourist information offices know very little how to help tourists - with this book they are almost not needed.

You have no other choice - buy it!,
This review is from: Corsica: The Rough Guide, Second Edition (2nd ed)(Rough Guides) (Paperback)
How many other guides to Corsica aimed at independent travellers, written in English can you name? Yes, Corsica is covered in each and every guide to France as well, but those 20 or so pages in a 500-pages book aren't what you really want, are they? It would be unfair to say though that Corsica: The Rough Guide is the best one simply because it's also the only one -- both the authors and the editorial staff has done a pretty decent job on this one. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars
another excellent rough guide,
By Ben R. (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rough Guide to Corsica 4 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
Like all Rough Guides, this is jam-packed with well-written, discerning travel advice. Also like the rest of the series, it has the best for all budgets. The reviews were incredibly accurate and up-to-date, and all were worthwhile. The cultural sidenotes are interesting, and the photos are much better than thsoe in other guides. I didn't really check out other guides (not that there was a huge amount of choice), but I can't imagine how you could top this one. Go to Corsica, and take this book with you.
