Things to do in Pesaro

  1. Musei Civici

    Opened in 1860 just after Italian reunification, the town’s original art gallery is now the Musei Civici, which also displays Pesaro’s 700-year-old ceramic tradition with one of Italy’s best collections of majolica ceramics.

  2. Felici e Contenti

    When a restaurant names itself ‘Happily Ever After’, you can bet you’ll retire for the evening both happy and content. Its speciality is fish, but pasta also makes a memorable entrance on the menu. The atmosphere is more sophisticatedly urban than many other Pesaro restaurants and it’s located on a quiet side street in the medieval centre.

  4. C’Era Una Volta

    The raucous atmosphere is almost as fun as the pizzas, topped with peas, artichokes, speck, pancetta or even patate fritti (chips). No glass of wine is more than €2.80 and an enormous array of pasta dishes can be had for under €9.
