This city of very ancient origins, the main economic center of the region and home to one of the most important harbors in the country, directly overlooks the Adriatic sea, to which it owes its fame: with its white beaches, coming both free and with complete facilities, it is indeed a privileged destination for all summer tourists living nearby or coming from other regions. But Ancona isn’t just white sand and crystal clear waves: it is also the triumph of ancient Roman and Medieval architecture with an historic center that has nevertheless also a modern side that young people profoundly appreciate.
If you’re about to visit this city, you have to begin your tour from Saint Ciriaco’s Cathedral, a church made with white and pink marbles extracted from the nearby caves, accessible through a wide portal with concentric arches enriched by byzantine elements, in a mixture of styles and cultures which is typical of Southern Italian coastal towns. Another important place of worship is the Church of Santa Maria della Piazza, characterized by the presence of beautiful mosaics and byzantine bas-reliefs. If you’re looking for some social life, go to Piazza del Plebiscito, also known locally as Piazza del Papa: here, in front of the Medieval palaces, you can meet up with people from Ancona as well as foreigners until late at night; the choice of pubs, bars and restaurants is excellent and the culinary offer is great as well, starting from the most typical of the traditional dishes that is the codfish “in the Ancona way”.
The area of Conero where Ancona is located is one of the areas with the most splendid views in all Southern Italy. Alongside with the beaches, e.g. those of Sirolo or Portonuovo, featured by a prodigious alternation of steep rocks and small intimate bays overlooking a crystal clear sea, you can enjoy great excursions here: the Conero hiking trails offer fantabulous views to families and experienced hikers as well; there are routes which can be walked or cycled or experienced on horse. In order to get to the starting point of these routes, it is worth renting a car in Ancona so to be able to move about with greater liberty.
A rental car grants more reliability than a private car because it is always a brand new, top-performing vehicle periodically undergoing electronical and mechanical maintenance. Through rental you also have the chance of using, for a limited period, a superior car segment to the one you’re used to, at a reduced price and without any renounces in terms of comfort. Alongside with the naturalistic ones, there are also many artistic and historical routes you can take in the Marche region: it indeed encloses plenty of UNESCO-protected landmarks such as the Palazzo Ducale in the Renaissance Urbino and other must-see treasures of Italian architecture such as Gradara’s castle, alongside with beautiful places like Recanati, the hometown of the Romantic poet Giacomo Leopardi. The silver lining of traveling privately lies in being able not to force yourself into a predetermined schedule or travel itinerary, which you can indeed devise based on your true interests.
