Ancona is the place for tango lovers

September 22, 2008

Ancona is the place to visit for those who love music and dance festivals as much as they love to travel. Ancona has one of the most interesting types of festivals to take place all throughout the world is the festival celebrating the tango. When we heard about it we couldn’t wait to get there. Throughout the journey in our hired car we talked excitedly of the forthcoming events. The tango, such a passionate dance with a rich history which allows it to be celebrated with a fervour missing in many other festivals. Although Ancona is not the original home of the tango, there is an annual festival which takes place there each August to celebrate the famous dance. This festival hasn’t been always been around, only a few years, but it is one of the festivals of Ancona which really shouldn’t be missed. If we hadn’t stopped the car for a break and a chat with fellow travellers on the way to Ancona we would have done exactly that!! It isn’t only the tango music influencing a festival which takes place in the area. Better known than this festival, is the summer jazz festival held during July. This festival lasts several days and includes performances at many venues. Perhaps more interesting to some travellers is the annual Summer Jamboree. This music festival has live bands and DJ’s coming from all throughout the world to perform for the locals and travellers who are in Ancona during August.
 
 

 

What to see and do in Ancona

September 13, 2008

The city of Ancona is the regional capital of the Marche region in Italy.   As Ancona is situated on the Adriatic coastline it has seen a steady increase in tourism mainly due to the low cost air carriers such as Ryanair and EasyJet.   That is not to say that Ancona has become a must visit destination in its own right – far from it.  Most people fly to Ancona to either get a ferry to Greece or Croatia or explore the rest of the Marche region. 

If you find yourself in Ancona then there are still a few things that we would recommend you should do.   As it is quite a small and compact city there is no real reason to hire a car to explore the town.  We would recommend renting a car if you wanted to go further afield.  In the city itself are the attractions of a wonderful cathedral and a worthy Roman Amphitheatre to while away a few hours.   Once you have worked up a thirst perhaps you will be looking for some refreshments and if so then grab a coffee or a pizza in one of the many little shops offering these. 

For those that want to do even less than this then we would recommend that you check out Ancona’s beaches.   Being on the Adriatic coast means Ancona is slap bang in about 180Km of beautiful coastline. 

For those considering visiting further away from the town and perhaps finding out why Le Marche is dubbed ‘the new Tuscany’ then we recommend you hire a car.   Less than an hour’s drive from Ancona will get you to Loreto which is home to the biggest Marian sanctuary in the whole of Italy.  We would also recommend that you get in your car and check out the spectacular caves of Frasassi or perhaps take your car along the coast to Conero and enjoy the views that this drive has to offer.

In the coming months we will be reviewing more things to do in Ancona as well as other places to drive to in your car.   In the meantime, please leave us some of your suggestions too.   In the meantime thanks for visiting our Ancona website from Pronto: The Italian Car Hire Specialists.
