Thanks to the good weather, the summer season in Lignano Sabbiadoro has lengthened considerably in Lignano Sabbiadoro and even today there are some tourist walking in the city centre.

We must also consider the European Masters Games, that took place in Lignano from 10th to 20th September.
These Games brought in the seaside resort about 4000 athletes with friends, families, trainers and public. With this sporting event, the beach of Lignano and in general the entire region Friuli has been presented to thousands of sports fans and potential tourists from all over Europe.
