Cattolica: our tips on what to see and do

Inland

Torre medievale imponente, mura antiche, atmosfera storica al tramonto, silenzio e mistero.

Spiaggia affollata, mare azzurro, città vivace, natura verde, cielo sereno, estate vibrante.

Tramonto infuocato su colline verdi, cielo dorato e pacifica serenità naturale.

Un castello medievale domina colline verdi, case colorate e un cielo azzurro con nuvole bianche.

Strada serpeggiante tra colline boscose, conduce a un antico borgo affacciato sul panorama.

Cattolica is a journey among sea, entertainment, and little wonders to discover every day.

The sea, with its salty scent...

It's the first thought that comes to your mind as soon as you arrive in our town. The beach is wide and golden, great for kids to play and for people who just want to chill out under a beach umbrella. However, the Queen of the Adriatic is much more than that!
If you're wondering what to see and do during your vacation in Cattolica, let yourself be inspired by history, the enchanting inland villages, scheduled events, and activities perfect for both adults and children.

Historic center: the town's authentic heart

Piazza Primo Maggio, with its dancing fountains, is Cattolica's open-air living room.
From here, narrow pedestrian streets wind their way through shops, cafés, live music clubs, and colorfulaperitifs. It's a perfect mix of old-world charm and summer liveliness.

Don't miss

The new Marina

Modern, elegant, ideal for a glass of wine with friends at sunset.

The Church of Saint Pius V

A small Baroque gem in the heart of the town.

The Covered Market

Colors, aromas, and flavors of authentic Romagna.

Interesting facts:

Have you ever seen the “Fontana delle Sirene”, the Mermaid Fountain, lit up at night? One of Cattolica's landmarks, it enchants both adults and children with amazing water and light shows.

The hinterland: villages, hills, and mouth-watering flavors

Don't stop along the coast. Should you wish to discover what to see in Cattolica and its surroundings, go for an inland excursion. You will be amazed by the rolling hills of the Valconca, which shape the horizon, the rows of Sangiovese vines, and the fortresses that tower imposingly over the landscape.

Fabulous villages

Gradara

The Malatesta family's stronghold, which safeguards the love of Paolo and Francesca.

Mondaino

A medieval gem brought to life by the fantastic Palio de lo Daino.

Montefiore Conca

One of Italy's most beautiful villages, awarded the Bandiera Arancione (Orange Flag) designation.

Here's a tip:

Ask for information at the reception about festivals, celebrations, and historical reenactments in the inland villages. There's something new to discover every weekend, a new flavor to taste, and a story to listen to under a starry sky.

[translated by google translate] I have been coming to the Continental for several years, it is my "happy island". When I need to get away even for a weekend I come here. Central location directly on the sea, clean rooms, sea view my favorites, on the upper floors breathtaking view. Super staff starting from the owners, all helpful and friendly. Breakfast with sea view very rich and varied. Possibility of brunch with absolutely flexible hours and aperitif on the veranda after the beach with piadina, pizza or various cutting boards. Affiliated beach Oasis La Playa with entertainment and various activities including yoga and pilates with very prepared teachers. Rating 10.

[translated by google translate] Directly on the beach, very close to the center, airy position (on hot days it makes the difference). Large, bright, clean rooms equipped with everything you need. Very beautiful sea view. Welcoming and spacious common areas. We are a large family, including grandparents, children and grandchildren, each with their own needs, small habits and necessities. All were promptly satisfied by the Olmi family and the staff. We felt at home, welcomed, understood, pampered. We took advantage of the breakfast and lunch buffet, both excellent and varied. The beach service is through affiliated facilities right in front of the hotel, well equipped with every comfort. All very comfortable, for any age. We usually change destination every year for our family reunion, but this year we were so satisfied that we are thinking of returning.

[translated by google translate] What can I say for us Cattolica is the Hotel Continental, perfect location. Rooms with a sea view, a spectacle, clean and functional. Impeccable staff always in the right place at the right time. Education is the master from the reception to the floor waiter, passing through the boys in the hall. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
