Two days, two people
What to do in Cesenatico and around
Tips and itineraries from our osteria, to make the most of Cesenatico and its surroundings.
Two days, two people
On two wheels
Cesenatico by bike
Cesenatico is better on two wheels than four: the seafront and Parco di Levante, the mouth of the Rubicone, the pine woods towards Cervia, the flat 15 km to Cesena. And Pantani's home town.
Choosing your beach
The beaches of Cesenatico: which one to choose
Zadina, the centre, Valverde, Villamarina, Gatteo Mare: how Cesenatico's beaches change from north to south, where the 2026 Blue Flags are, and how to pick the right stretch for your holiday.
After sunset
Cesenatico in the evening
Evenings in Cesenatico: sunset over the canal harbour, night markets that move to a different area each night, the big wheel, the walk out to the pier. And where to eat away from the crowd.
From the market
The fish market in Cesenatico
How fish really works in Cesenatico: the 1911 fish hall, the wholesale auction no visitor sees, and the five signs that tell you the catch is fresh.
One day in town
What to see in Cesenatico in one day
The osteria's one-day itinerary for Cesenatico: Leonardo's canal port, the old ice houses, the Sailors' Wives statue, a boat trip and the evening markets. And where to actually eat well.
Rainy day
What to do in Cesenatico when it rains
The osteria's guide to a rainy day in Cesenatico: the Porto Canale museums, shopping and cinema, the Butterfly House — and an unhurried fish lunch, away from the crowds.
Local guide
