Our favorites in Jesi

Something that surprised us about Jesi is that regardless of being a small place it's certainly alive. Most of what you may be looking for is present in Jesi. In this post, we will present some of our favorite places.


The Library/ Signoria Palace (Google Maps)

One of the best ways for you to get involved when you arrive somewhere new is by visiting the library- in our opinion, it usually corresponds well to what the city is. In this case, it is small, organized, with some diversity of genres, a very small selection of foreign language books, and packed. The same words can be used to describe Jesi. Neither way don't forget to get the password for the wi-fi at the tourism office if you plan on doing some work.


Gara (Google Maps)

If you love coffee you will certainly love Gara. Even tho their pastries may be a little overpriced coming from a bigger city like Lisbon it is surprising having such a great cappuccino for just 1,50€. The staff is super gentle and the atmosphere is probably the best in Jesi.


ByNice (Google Maps)

After trying almost, if not every, place that offers ice cream in Jesi this definitely beats all the other by flavour. You will find places with a better atmosphere but the taste of their ice creams won't match this place (Ciro and Pio). Once again, super friendly staff, they even gave us Italian tips to improve our accent. 


Sports Park - Palazzetto dello Sport Ezio Triccoli (Suggest by Karolina | Google Maps) 

This place offers facilities like a soccer field, rollerblading area, running tracks, and basketball courts. Additionally, this park also includes a picnic area, walking trail, and fitness/ calisthenic area.  Personally, I enjoy my outdoor activity - YOGA. Palazzetto also hosts local sports events such as basketball matches or volleyball matches, it is a perfect occasion to gather community and social interactions. An important notice is that there is a water system but it's paid, so do not forget to take your own water or money! Definitely recommended for sport and nature lovers. 


Small Pizza (Google Maps)

It definitely doesn't have a good fancy vibe but the pizza and focaccia will be cheap and good. This is a place for when you have a little hunger to stop by or to take it home. There is also the possibility of taking the big pizza. The quality of the pizza is not the best but it is fair to the price. 

(Very Small) Historical Center 

Nice place to spend your free time watching buildings and Italian architecture. There is a wide variety of shops, and everyone will find something for themselves. Our favorite place is a bookshop (next paragraph). Every Saturday there is also a big market where you can find EVERYTHING for you at a good price. Saturday morning and evening are the moments when this place is definitely the most alive.


Gira&Volta (Google Maps)

Most likely you won't find English books but there's a good selection of curated books. You can tell that the owners really have a passion for books. The atmosphere is cozy. we always take a look inside as new books are always coming.


South Asian Market (Suggested by Maria | Google Maps)

As a vegetarian, certain things are hard to find in Jesi, However, I like to take a look at this market as it has a wide range of vegetarian options and even take something new to try from this very rich culture.


Margarita Cafe' (Google Maps)

Amazing aperitivo. Amazing staff owner. Lori is the best :) Very comfortable place to spend hours on drinking coffee, eating good pastries, or having aperitivo. Especially if you don't want to spend a lot of money. You can easily spend 2 hours there and just pay 2.40€ per café and cornetto. Inside is full of Easter items and artificial flowers. 


In conclusion, Jesi may be a small town, but it offers a diverse set of attractions. Jesi has something to offer to everyone. Our favorite places highlighted in this post are just a glimpse into what makes this town special. Whether you're a resident or a visitor, Jesi's charm is sure to leave a lasting impression.

May 2024 highlights

🌟 Reflecting on May 🌟 After a great start in April and returning from a long trip to Naples and Rome we decided to enjoy a more relaxed side of Jesi. Here are some of the things we did in May.  On Arrival training May started with a 5 days training in Rome. This training was organized by the Italian National Agency. During this training, we shared our volunteering experiences with others from all over Europe who are currently doing their volunteering experiences in Italy. We learned about our duties and rights as volunteers. As well as other opportunities after this experience.  Exploring Rome Exploring Rome is a captivating journey through history, culture, and cuisine. As Italy's capital and one of the most historically rich cities in the world.

The next stop was Roman Forum. Th...

Volunteer Oct24, Río's first blog. Life before Jesi

Ciao, Hola and Hi! I’m Río Rojas Mayorga, one of the two volunteers here at Caritas Jesi in October 2024. I’m from Madrid, Spain, and in this first blog, I will share my life before volunteering and how I discovered the ESC. The next one should be about my life here. I would like to start by providing some context about how I got to know the ESC by talking about my life in Majadahonda, Madrid. After the quarantine, my family and I moved from Aluche (in south-central Madrid) to Majadahonda (on the western outskirts) due to financial struggles, which was a significant change for us. The first year felt lonely for my sister and me. During that time, I began studying in the afternoons at the youth centre near my home, where I searched about local volunteering opportunities and eventually discovered international volunteering. However, I was still under 18 and thought I had to prioritise my formal studies. Then, in November 2022, I met someone who transformed my life; it all began with a si...

Volunteer Oct24. 3 months so far!

Ciao, Hola and Hi!  I’m Río Rojas Mayorga and it's been 3 months since I'm an ESC volunteer here in Caritas Jesina. Let me update you briefly about my experience! The arrival and first week in Caritas was a mix of emotions between the excitement to start and the confusion of all the new people and information we were bombarded with. At first we didn't have a schedule and it was a little bit messy but, I'm glad I shared so much time with my project partner; it was nice having someone in the same situation. First month Once the schedule was set, we had to adjust not only to the work but also to the people we shared the time with. As all the services are done with local people, at first it was difficult the communication as I had no words in Italian, but I was gladly surprised to find out my will of talking and sharing was lovely appreciated and corresponded, I found out the language barrier was a challenge but i wasn’t fighting it alone.  My birthday arrived eventually an...
