As the capital of the Marche region, Ancona boasts a captivating blend of ancient and modern charm. The city’s historical heart is evident in landmarks like the Roman Arch of Trajan, which stands as a testament to Ancona’s significance during Roman times. The nearby Ancona Cathedral, with its striking Romanesque architecture and panoramic views over the Adriatic Sea, is a must-see for visitors.

Ancona’s bustling harbor offers more than just maritime activity; it’s a gateway to exploring the beauty of the Adriatic coast. The city is known for its vibrant markets, where local specialties like fresh seafood and Marche wines can be savored. The Mercato delle Erbe, or Market of the Herbs, is a lively spot to experience local flavors and purchase regional products.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy in Ancona’s surrounding natural landscapes. The Monte Conero Regional Park, just a short drive away, features rugged cliffs, lush forests, and pristine beaches, perfect for hiking and relaxing in nature. The park’s scenic trails offer breathtaking views of the coastline and are ideal for both casual walkers and avid hikers.
