Search for car hire in Ancona

It’s not the expected Italian getaway but
Ancona has plenty of overlooked charms.

Poised on the Adriatic coast across the sea from Croatia, Ancona is a busy port city with a
likeable attraction – even if it’s not obvious at first. Stroll through the city’s historic
palazzos or watch the fleets of international cruise ships pull up to its shores as you
lounge around on the city’s white beaches.

As the capital of Italy’s Le Marche region, Ancona makes a great base to
venture down the shoreline and discover “the next Tuscany”. Search for your car hire with
easyCar and discover the vast mountain ranges and Renaissance treasures.

If you’re looking for the attractive, historic face of Ancona, head straight up to the
wonderful Old Town. Clustered around the city’s 11th century duomo (from which you can get a
superb view of the area) Ancona’s museums, galleries and wonderful gothic architecture make
it fascinating place to explore. As well as a striking ancient fountain and a Roman
amphitheatre, the area boasts a superb art gallery, Pinacoteca Communale with work from
Italian and international artists. The Museo Archeologico Nazionale delle Marche is the best
archaeological museum in the region with an impressive collection of exhibits and artefacts.
After you’ve spent some time exploring the Old Town, it’s time for some refreshment! Piazza
Roma is a pleasant place to relax and enjoy an authentic Italian pizza or an espresso in one
of the many cafes.
