Here’s a 7-day itinerary blending art, nature, food, and relaxation.

🗓️ Day 1 – Discover Forlì’s Historic Heart

Start in Piazza Saffi, the vibrant main square. Admire the Basilica of San Mercuriale and climb the bell tower for panoramic views. Walk under the arcades of Corso della Repubblica, step into Palazzo Albertini, and don’t miss the international exhibitions at the San Domenico Museums.
Grab a quick piadina for lunch and take a break in Parco della Resistenza or one of the many local cafés.
In the evening, enjoy an aperitivo at Benso or Maré and a traditional Romagna dinner at Osteria Don Abbondio.

🗓️ Day 2 – Parks, Bikes, and Pure Relaxation

Rent a bike or go for a walk in Franco Agosto Urban Park, a green oasis with ponds, animals, playgrounds, and a small café. Perfect for kids too!
In the afternoon, visit the Verzocchi Collection at the Civic Art Gallery or unwind in the cozy living room of your apartment.
Feeling active? Try a yoga or pilates session — the apartment has space and gear for it.
Dinner? Cook at home or check out the veggie-friendly Fiori di Zucca restaurant.

🗓️ Day 3 – Cesena & Longiano: Culture with a View

Head to Cesena by car or train. Visit the Malatestiana Library (UNESCO World Heritage), the Cathedral, and climb Monte Garampo to explore the Malatestiana Fortress.
Lunch downtown (try “Oltresoldo”), then drive to Longiano, an artistic hilltop village. Discover the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Malatesta Castle, and charming little galleries.
Return to Forlì for dinner and relax on the balcony or watch a movie on the smart TV.

🗓️ Day 4 – Seaside Escape to Cesenatico or Cervia

Need the sea? You’re only 30 minutes away!

Prefer something quieter? Go to Cervia to explore the salt pans or the Butterfly House.
Lunch on fresh seafood (try “Osteria del Gran Fritto”) and return to Forlì in the late afternoon.
Dinner on the balcony at sunset — the perfect ending.
