Il Passetto

Il Passetto is a picturesque walkway that connects the city center of Ancona to the old harbor. It is one of the beautiful architectural examples of the 19th century and a nice place to spend a sunny day. From the observation deck you can get a magnificent view of the old harbor, the beaches, and the spires of the historic churches in the city. It is a great place to get a fascinating glimpse into the medieval past of the city. The promenade is lined with sea-facing restaurants, cafes, and ice cream parlors. It is the perfect spot to grab a bite or just enjoy the wonderful sights of the city and its harbor. The views from here span from the hills of the western part of Ancona, to the bay of San Felice. If you plan on visiting, make sure to bring your camera to capture all the sights of the area!
