Information for your holiday, history and routes for visit Gabicce Mare's city.

Gabicce Mare gives a physical sense of something new; it is the changingface of nature. In quick succession, over the space of just a few kilometres, the sea alternates with the gentle inlets of the safe beach and the promontory of Gabicce Monte and San Bartolo Park, with rocky gorges and small coves that overlook the deep waters of the sea, the ideal place for scuba diving, with the tiny tourist harbour of Vallugola and with the ancien and legendary Roman city and underwater harbour of Valbruna. A charming panoramic road zigzags its way up to Gabicce Monte where typical bars and restaurants have risen on the remains of the castle that once belonged to the faudal landowner Ligabitio and the kilns of the famous Lanfranco family who were the first to decorate ceramics with pure gold. The road continues to wind its way along the cliff tops that drop straight to the sea and passes through a number of old fishing villages before dropping to Pesaro.

Along the coast and the hillside, over 100 hotels, guesthouses, tourist residences and apartments constitute the accomodation facilities offered by Gabicce Mare, a resort that boasts quality services and is traditionally characterised by its friendly approach and courtesy. A holiday in Gabicce Mare offers hundreds of different possibilities, allowing visitors to choose what best suits their particular needs; a lazy stay that combines lying around on the beach with long walks in the countryside and shopping, or an active holiday centred around sport, entertainment and excursions.
