Rent to Ancona
This city of very ancient origins, the region’s main economic center and home to one of Italy’s main ports, faces directly onto the Adriatic Sea, and it is to it that it owes its greatest attraction: its white beaches, both free and equipped, are in fact a beloved destination for summer tourism both by those who live nearby and by tourists from other regions. But Ancona is not only white sand and transparent waves: it is also a riot of architecture, especially ancient-Roman and medieval, corresponding to the ancient core of this city that nevertheless also has a modern side that appeals to young people. If you want to visit this city, you cannot fail to start your tour from the Cathedral of St. Ciriaco, made with white and pink marble extracted from quarries in the area, which is accessed through a wide portal with concentric arches in which there is also no shortage of Byzantine elements, in a mixture of styles and cultures that is typical of the southern coasts of Italy. Another important place of worship is the Church of Santa Maria della Piazza, characterized by the presence of splendid Byzantine mosaics and bas-reliefs. For social life, on the other hand, one must turn to Piazza del Plebiscito, better known among locals as Piazza del Papa: here, in front of the medieval palaces, Ancona locals and “outsiders” cross paths until late at night; the choice of bars, clubs and restaurants is in fact very wide and the city’s culinary offerings do not disappoint at all, starting with the typical dish par excellence – stoccafisso all’anconetana.
The Conero region in which Ancona is located is one of the areas of southern Italy with the most beautiful natural views. In addition to the beaches, such as those of Sirolo or Portonovo, characterized by a magical alternation of steep rocks and small intimate coves overlooking a crystal clear sea, it is also possible to devote oneself to true nature excursions: the trekking routes on the Conero offer spectacular views at every level, whether you tackle trails suitable even for families with children or routes for experienced hikers; there are options that can be traveled on foot, on horseback or by mountain bike. To reach the starting locations of these trails, it is worth renting a car in Ancona to then move with greater freedom throughout the area. The rental car offers greater reliability than a car owned because it is always a new vehicle, top performance in reference to segment standards, and checked with careful punctuality in both mechanical and electronic parts. With renting, it is also possible to access, for a limited period, a vehicle category higher than one’s own, at an affordable price and without giving up any comforts. In addition to nature trails, there are also artistic and historical ones: in fact, the Marche region offers a plethora of monuments that are part of the UNESCO heritage, such as the majestic Ducal Palace in Renaissance Urbino, and other unmissable treasures of our architecture, such as the Castle of Gradara, as well as places like Recanati, home of Leopardi and full of inspiration for fans of the poet. The beauty of traveling with a private car lies precisely in not having to give a limit to one’s movements and being able to devise a travel itinerary based on one’s real interests. Renting a car in Ancona can also be a convenient solution for those who need to reach the city from other provinces in the region that are poorly served by public transportation, or to board one of the ferries that connect Italy to Croatia and other countries on the opposite coast of the Adriatic Sea. In fact, with Locauto you have the option of renting your car and returning it to different offices by selecting from the extensive network of car rentals throughout Italy, including the islands.
