Arena Sferisterio
One of Europe’s most stunning outdoor theatres is the Arena Sferisterio, which resembles an ancient Roman arena but was built between 1819 and 1829. Between 15 July and 15 August every year it’s a venue for the Stagione Lirica, one of Italy’s most prestigious musical events, which attracts big operatic names. In late June every year, the arena plays host to the finals of the Musicultura competition for talented, up-and-coming singer/songwriters as well as a famous guest singer (tickets €5 to €30).

Caffè Meletti
From the shade of the ancient portico you can sip a coffee or the famous anisette as you gaze onto the perfect Italian piazza. Or sit inside to enjoy the statuesque carved wood stairway and bar. It was once a popular spot for the likes of Ernest Hemingway and Jean-Paul Sartre. The cafe, founded in 1907, fell into disrepair but has since been completely restored to its former glory.

Liberty Cocktail Lounge
The hot spot in town, this art deco inspired cafe would have made Picasso feel right at home. Asian-influenced artwork, Tiffany glass lamps and a classy bohemian crowd will make you want to paint the scene and sell it as a framed poster. It’s off Piazza Kennedy.

Solo Doc: SapordiVini
While away hours on a warm day outside at this café and bar under the Italian version of a tented harem. Bar tables and plush, low couches seat the young hip crowd as well as visitors. Or just stroll by and enjoy the piped-in jazz, dance or world music.

Teatro Rossini
The 400-year-old Teatro Rossini was renamed in the composer’s honour, and its grand ceiling and ornate box seats make it a take-your-breath-away spot to catch a concert, especially during the Rossini Opera Festival.

Caffè Venanzetti
Locals have assured us this is the best coffee shop in town. High ceilings and an old-style wood and mirror decor is a visual treat to go along with a delectable pastry case and one of the best cappuccinos in Le Marche.
