YOUR TRIP IN ITALY
Want a foretaste of what to expect? Here some suggestions of the most iconic spots to visit during your trip:
• Take a walk along the vibrant seaside promenades filled with cafés, gelaterias, and beach clubs, or spend your day sunbathing on the long golden beaches of the Adriatic coast.
• Explore the historic town centers, enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of Rimini, the elegance of Riccione, or the charm of Cesenatico, with its picturesque canal designed by Leonardo da Vinci. The Riviera Romagnola offers the perfect mix of beach life, culture, and Italian summer vibes.
And what’s a trip to Italy without any food? Obviously, you can’t miss to taste the local cuisine and the best typical dishes such as:
• Cappelletti in brodo – small handmade pasta filled with meat, served in a warm, comforting broth.
• Lasagne alla Romagnola – layers of pasta, rich meat ragù, béchamel sauce, and grated cheese.
• Piadina – the iconic flatbread of Romagna, often filled with prosciutto, squacquerone cheese, or grilled vegetables.
• Ravioli al formaggio – cheese-filled pasta served with butter and sage.
• And of course, plenty of fresh seafood, caught daily and served in the many restaurants along the coast.
