Ancona - A brief overview

October 4, 2008

The sharp traveller knows that Ancona has lot to offer. The geographical location lies in between the stunning Mount Conero, the gorgeous coastline and steps across the hills of Gausco and Cardato. In fact the sharp tourists will also know that Ancona actually means “elbow” in Greek and thereby actually reflecting its position perfectly.

Like many Italian towns Ancona is separated in quarters (whether there are four or not!). In Ancona’s case sitting on the Gausco hillside is the important historic centre housing many attractions like the Church of St Domenico, the Palazzo Bosdari which houses the wonderful art museum of Francesco Podesti and the Mole Vanvitelliana.

Whereas the modern area of Ancona lies in the valley and as well as having nearly 5 miles of sumptuous beaches is also one of the most strategic sea ports located in the Adriatic. The international importance of Ancona is reflected in some of the events that are staged here including the Adriatic Nautical Exhibition and the International Fish show. Now the latter may not be to everyone’s taste but if your tastes extend to good food then this is definitely for you.

In Ancona you will be able to enjoy many local specialities as well as the wines of the regions like Lacrima di Morro and Verdicchio dei Castelli di. So if you are looking for an Italian city that is not engulfed with millions of tourists then you could do worse than visit Ancona. If you are looking to hire a car then use Pronto to arrange this for you. Use our car booking system on the right of the page and you can arrange to pick the car up at the airport or in Ancona itself. You can even drop it off in another city – or Country if so desired. We will be adding more reviews of Ancona in coming weeks including where to stay, what to eat and the best delights of the region. Ciao!
