The City of Salt
Cervia’s salt, known as ‘white gold’, has been at the centre of the city’s economic and cultural life for centuries.

Here, visitors can watch salt workers at work and discover ancient traditions related to salt production.
A Green Heritage
Cervia’s pine forests, covering over 300 hectares, are a true paradise for nature lovers.

The pine forest is an ideal place to relax and breathe pure air, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Cervia is famous for its calendar full of cultural and sporting events that take place throughout the year. These include the Sposalizio del Mare (Wedding of the Sea), a festival celebrating the link between the city and its sea, and the Sapore di Sale (Taste of Salt), which commemorates the historic harvesting of salt. The events are an opportunity to immerse oneself in the Romagna atmosphere and experience unforgettable moments.
Gastronomy of Romagna
Cervia’s cuisine is another of its treasures. Dishes such as piadina, fresh fish from the Adriatic Sea and salt chocolate are just some of the delicacies that visitors can enjoy in the town’s restaurants and kiosks.
