UNESCO Promenade
The "UNESCO Promenade" is a great way to discover the scenic beauty of the ancient fortress and the charm of the capital's Old Town.
On foot
Starting from Place de la Constitution, the trail goes along the mid-point of the fortifications through Pétrusse Park and a garden celebrating the capital’s rose-breeding history. It continues along the Corniche, across the ramparts and then through the Old Town.
By bike
The UNESCO bike tours are a great way to discover this site and its most popular attractions in just under an hour and a half. The tour is in two parts: a 2.5-kilometre tour on foot, and a 9.5-kilometre tour by bike.
