The Traverse of Milano Marittima

Milano Marittima is the only town on the Riviera organized around a grid of numbered streets leading down to the sea: this is how addresses are given and how you orient yourself ("We're on the IX Traversa"). Understanding the character of each area is the quickest way to choose where to stay.

The center and the Rotonda 1° Maggio

The heart of the city: the shopping streets, the happy hour bars, the pedestrian zone in the evening. Sleeping here means having everything within walking distance, and accepting that the area stays lively until late. It's the choice of those who come for nightlife and absolute convenience.

The first Traverse and the seafront

The Traverse closest to the center connect the beach, just steps away, with the town's bustling life. This is the most popular area (and the most expensive parking): ideal for those who want the sea and the town center without ever having to use the car.

The upper Traverse, towards the pine forest

As you move further away from the center, the streets become quieter, the pine forest creeps between the houses, and at night you sleep in silence. This is a favorite area for families and those seeking peace and quiet, yet the center is still accessible by bike or on foot.

Spa area and canal area

At the northern end, towards the Cervia Thermal Baths, greenery and relaxation prevail. To the south, the harbor canal marks the border with Cervia: a convenient area for those who want to experience both.
