Urbino Travel Forum

I am thinking about studying in Urbino for a couple of years. I am taken the compactness and intimacy of the city, however, I have concerns about becoming claustrophobic. What is the student and local scene like there? Are rents expensive? What sort of shops are there? I would be grateful for any other insights about living in this town.

Could someone help me with an information? I want to go to San Marino, one day trip from Urbino, and I don't know what is the right bus. Also, I need to know the price and the schedule of the buses. Thank you.

My daughter is flying into Bologna to attend the University of Urbino for one month, at the end of July.

Because she will have been travelling all night, including a change of planes in Frankfurt, and because this is her first "solo" experience to Europe, I hesitate to THEN have her take a bus to the train in Bologna, take a train to Pesaro, and a bus to Urbino. (That's the suggested means of transport to the University.)

Does anybody know of a REASONABLY PRICED way of getting a driver to take her -- either alone or with a group? The car services that I have contacted so far want between $400 and $890 dollars for one-way transport from the airport to Urbino.

I would like to know the best way to get from Ancona Airport to Urbino... Is there a shuttle bus that goes from one to the other DIRECTLY? Thank you!

I will be on a ship docking for one day in Ancona. What is the best way to get to Urbino? Thanks
