-	''To do''	+	Bonifacio has a long and colorfoul history. These days tourism is the most important economic factor here and especially during the summer months (June, July, August) the town and its sourroundings are flooded with tourists from all over Europe. The intersting maquis around the town is only partially used for agriculture, but the path along the cliffs is very popular among visitors.
