A long cycle path connects the city centre with the nearby seaside resorts.

The sea front is scattered with modern residences and intimate inns, which give guests the possibility to take advantage of affordable prices all year round.

Those interested in exploring Francavilla al Mare's city centre, which develops on the top of a low hill overlooking the sea, could start their tour from the popular Belvedere di San Franco, which boasts sweeping views up to Pescara. This panoramic point is flanked by the modern church of St. Maria Maggiore, which was designed by Ludovico Quaroni.
Another important sacred building of great artistic and historical value is Francesco Paolo Michetti Monastery, which was built in 1430 and in 1883 became the residence of the famous painter and photographer who lived in Francavilla al Mare for many years. Michetti is also celebrated by a Museum and a Prize for young artists, which every year attract acclaimed critics and reviewers.
