Why go
Corfu Town rewards a walk through an inhabited place shaped by several eras. Venetian lanes open onto squares, church fronts and later civic buildings. The Old and New Fortresses frame the historic center and show why its harbor mattered. Moving between them reveals how public life and defensive architecture share the same streets.
What to look for
- Venetian lanes lead into squares and past later neoclassical buildings.
- The Old and New Fortresses mark opposite sides of the historic town.
- The Palace of St. Michael and St. George adds a British-era landmark beside the Spianada.
Useful to know
- Explore the lanes and squares on foot, then choose a fortress or museum as a separate stop.
- Use the Old Town as your starting area, then follow its streets beyond any single map marker.
