The portal dedicated to discovering Fano and its surrounding area. Here you will find information about beaches, culture, events, itineraries, hospitality, and local flavors. A starting point to fully experience the city and its hinterland in every season.
The sea is our home, and every day it tells a story. Fano is a city that lives facing the Adriatic. You can feel it in the salt air of the harbor and see it among the boats moored at Marina dei Cesari, a Blue Flag destination since 2008. Breathe it in along the Lisippo Promenade, where the sea feels infinite and the sunrise is a spectacle.
Fano’s beaches offer diverse experiences: the Lido with its golden sand, perfect for relaxation and services; the Sassonia, with its smooth pebbles and dedicated children's areas. To the south, Torrette and Ponte Sasso provide tranquility, wide spaces, welcoming facilities, and clean waters.
The Trabucchi (traditional fishing piers) and the historic El Gugùl district make everything more authentic: places where fishing is still a living part of our culture. In Fano, the sea is not just a backdrop; it is a way of life to be discovered in every season.
Two thousand years of history, one step at a time. In Fano, every corner tells a story. It is a city where history is tangible: from the Arch of Augustus and the Roman Walls to medieval fortresses and Renaissance and Baroque architecture.
Walking through the historic center means crossing centuries: Vitruvius' Roman Fano, the city of the Malatesta family, noble palaces, and churches adorned with stuccos and frescoes. Explore museums, underground itineraries, and thematic paths that guide you like an invisible thread.
Events like Fano dei Cesari or Museum Night are opportunities to live history, not just study it. Fano is not an open-air museum: it is a living city with a past that inhabits the present.
"Over two thousand years after its construction, the Basilica of Vitruvius—the famous Roman architect of the 1st century BC and author of De Architectura—was identified in Piazza A. Costa. This discovery of exceptional historical value consecrates Fano as a central site of classical civilization and the birthplace of Vitruvius." — Guided tours of the archaeological excavations are available; check the calendar on Visit Fano.
A city that grows with its youngest citizens. Fano is an ideal destination for families. This is more than a slogan; it’s a commitment we’ve upheld for over 30 years with the "Fano – City of Girls and Boys" initiative.
The city is designed to be welcoming, safe, and child-friendly. The beaches are wide and well-equipped with play areas. Our hotels offer entertainment, baby clubs, and activities designed to entertain the little ones (and relax the grown-ups). Fano has also received the Green Flag, a recognition awarded by Italian pediatricians. Here, children feel at home—and so do their parents.
In Fano, you eat with your heart and remember with your palate. The aroma of Brodetto Fanese (fish soup) envelops you at the first taste. It is the signature dish of our cuisine, made with the freshest fish, passion, and tradition. From the rustita (grilled fish) to razza coi peperoni (skate with peppers) and local street food, every recipe tells of our bond with the sea.
Then there is the land: truffles, cheeses, wine, and olive oil. The hinterland products enrich an authentic and varied gastronomic offer. Events like BrodettoFest celebrate this culinary culture with show cooking and tastings. Finally, don’t miss the Moretta, the fishermen’s coffee: a ritual that still warms the hands and the heart.
In Fano, every season has something to tell. It’s not just about summer. In Fano, events fill the calendar all year: from the oldest Carnival in Italy to major cultural and musical festivals, historical reenactments, and markets.
Fano is a city that loves to celebrate, but always with taste, balance, and authenticity. Whether you are a couple, a family, or a group, you will always find an event that makes you feel part of the community.
