Just south of Porto-Vecchio lies Corsica's celebrated Plage de Palombaggia, an idyllic beach with crispy white sand and azure waters. There are several locations that provide sunbed and umbrella rentals, along with a couple of beach restaurants along the stretch.

On the façade of this government palace (Palazzo del Governo), you can see a collection of statues by Guido Costanzo, from Ortona. The four large sculptures symbolise the Mines, Agriculture, the Sea and the River, the four foundation pillars of Pescara. In the Hall of the Provincial Council, you can also admire the large bronze bust of poet Gabriele D'Annunzio.

Embrace serenity and peace of mind as you walk through this catholic church beholding the painted ceilings and beautiful stained glass windows. The cornerstone for the first church was laid over 150 years ago and the cavernous feeling you get because of the large rear grottoes is very memorable.

The most well-known branch of the Soumaya Museum on Plaza Carso houses the eclectic $700 million private art collection of one of the world’s wealthiest men. The glistening facade of the building with its swooping lines is a must for your Instagram feed. Inside, a spiralling ramp will lead you though several floors filled with works of European and Mexican masters. The museum's collection spans 30 centuries of art including sculptures from Pre-Hispanic Mesoamerica, Mexican art, works by European old masters and masters of modern western art such as Auguste Rodin, Salvador Dalí, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo and Tintoretto. It is called one of the most complete collections of its kind.
