What to do in Cesena: An Original Itinerary for Families
Cesena is a city I know like the back of my hand, having been born and raised here. Here’s an original itinerary on what to do in Cesena with kids, allowing you to appreciate this city in an authentic and special way.
Explore the Historic Center of Cesena with Kids
Strolling through the historic center of Cesena is like taking a dive into the past. There are so many corners to discover, from quiet alleys to lively squares, where kids can explore safely. A must-see stop is the Rocca Malatestiana, where history and medieval walls always enchant the little ones. You can also take advantage of its open spaces for a picnic or just to take a break between stops.
What to See in Cesena: Between History and Nature
If you want to alternate cultural visits with a break in nature, Cesena offers the best of both worlds. The Malatestiana Library is a true gem, and if you’re like me, you could spend hours here! Since becoming a mom, I enjoy spending afternoons here with my kids, blending work and study. It’s a perfect activity to stimulate the curiosity of the little ones, and the beauty of the place will take your breath away.
If you prefer some fresh air, a hike in the hills around Cesena is ideal for a day immersed in nature. Bring a packed lunch and enjoy the tranquility away from the city chaos.
The beauty of this itinerary is that it’s all free! Cesena remains a small town that, despite its stunning attractions, invests little in tourism. Thus, the entire itinerary I’ve proposed for Cesena is free.
How Many Days Are Needed to See Cesena?
Cesena is very small; if you plan to visit the historic center, one day is more than enough.
Of course, Cesena is a very nice city to live in and visit, full of typical restaurants to try and authentic experiences to enjoy (like the Wednesday and Saturday fruit markets).
Even a simple visit to the Malatestiana Library can take more than the hour typically allotted in usual itineraries! The open area, where you can consult and borrow books, is truly enormous, and in my opinion, it’s worth spending a few hours there.
How much time it takes to visit Cesena? It definitely depends on you: while you can walk through the entire historic center in a little over an hour, it’s definitely worth spending a few days to explore it well and enjoy every corner.
