Castles & monuments · Corfu · ★★★★★
Corfu's UNESCO-listed old town, best on foot: Venetian lanes, the red-topped bell tower of Saint Spyridon and the Liston's arcades, between the two fortresses. Free and open all year; busiest at midday when cruise ships are in.
Come on foot, and early or late in the day, when the lanes are calmer than at midday. The main sights are all a short walk apart: the Liston and Spianada 200 m away, the Museum of Asian Art 300 m, the Old Fortress 400 m and the Archaeological Museum 500 m. Buses stop at the Upper Square by the Liston, and parking and toilets are about 150 m from the centre.
