Ancona Travel Forum

I'm hopefully heading to Ancona this weekend for some beach fun, I was just wondering if anyone could give me some help on the best way to get from the train station to the beach?

We arrive in Ancona from Split at around 9.30 pm on a Saturday night and will be leaving by train to Roma the next day. Have checked out hotels and although the Jolly Hotel is close to the harbour, it appears that there is a steep climb up steps to the hotel, which is not ideal with luggage. We have also checked out the Fortuna Hotel, which is close to the station and could be ok, but not particularly pleasant. I gather that the Fortuna is a kilometer away from the port, and I have read that often there are not many taxis available.... is it an easy walk at night?
Hoping that someone can give me some good advice, Thanking you in advance.

I tried to find a direct flight from Ancona to Bergamo but I could not find. Any one can help?

Does anyone want to buy this flight for a modest price? I can change the name, date...and even routing?

If anyone is interested, contact me at joolyjay@hotmail.com.

Hello, I am travelling to Italy in Aug flying to Ancona for a few days and wondered if it is possible to take a ferry to Venice or a train and how far is it and how much does it cost. If anyone knows please get in touch.

Hi i need to get from Munich to Camerino, which i believe is right by Ancona. If not to Camerino then at least to Ancona. Can anyone give me some advice on this? I'll be travelling at the end of July to attend summer school in Camerino.

cheers

Hi,
I'm arriveing to Ancona from Split on 28.04(Saturday), 19.30h and need to get to Roma.
I tried to find a bus or a train line but all i found was a 16 o'clock bus line..
So anything cheap leaving from Ancona to Roma after 20 o'clock would very helpfull!
Price is also very important to me, I'm a student from Zagreb and going there just for the weekend..

We are two students flying into Nice hopefully travelling by train to Pisa, where we intend to rent a car and travel around Italy. We are going to catch the ferry to Greece, returning to Ancona and then back on to Venice to our flight hme by train.
I have spent all day trying to get a price or timetable, both would be great. Anyone got any ideas?

Hi can anyone help.

We are going to Ancona for weekend break, I know you can get the train or the bus to Ancona and seems that there is quite a few on the Friday afternoon when we arrive. I am having trouble trying to find any transport (i.e. train or bus) to go back to the airport on the Sunday morning. I have looked on the train site and nothing is available on the Sunday morning? Does anyone know if buses etc run on a Sunday morning back to the airport.

If anyone could help it would be great because we have not got a lot of time before we go. Also I presume you can purchase train tickets from the airport and I know apparently that there are machines that you need to validate your ticket? If you go by bus you have to purchase the bus tickets from the tabacco shops? Please correct me if I am wrong I am just trying to find as much information as I can. I don't fancy the idea of being stranded and I don't know any italian! :o)

I am having trouble finding the ferry schedules and fees for the month of May, 2007 going from Ancona, Italy, to Split, Croatia. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Hi all, Would like to know what the routine is when boarding the overnight ferry to Split. We will be arriving from Venice by train. How far is the station from the port? Is there a bus that connects the two? We know we need to be there 2 hours early to check in. What does checking in involve? Customs? Passports etc Is there somewhere to leave your luggage. Do you check it in or keep it with you in your cabin? I hope someone out there has done all this and can pass on their experience. Thanks. Mary

We are arriving to Ancona and would like to go to Rome on the same day. How far a train station from airport? I assume taht tthis is a best way to get to Rome. We would like to come back to Jesi in 4 days. Is there any storage area for our heavy laggage that we not needed in Rome( suggestions)

Thanks

The train from Venice arrives at 10:42. The ferry for Split leaves at 11:00. Is this enough time from the train station to the ferry? What are the particulars (directions/tips) of the journey from train to the ferry? There is another train that leaves at 5?19 am (ouch!) and gets in at 10:17. Is that a better one to take? Thanks!

I am arriving by ferry from split & I’m looking at getting to Rome. I have looked at getting a train, but I have to wait 5 hours for the next train as I just miss one when I dock. Doesn’t anyone know how long a bus will take & what company to book with?
Thanks

VT Drinks in Ancona on 9th June 2007! Please RSVP on my meetings page. Any suggestions where to meet?

How to get from Venice to Ancona?
Is it better to go by train (around) or go by bus? How long is that and how much?
Does anyone have link to bus terminal in Venice?
Thank you

How long will this take by train and how often do the trains run? I'm coming in by ferry from Split. How would I get to the train station from the ferry terminal?

12 adults are traveling to Le Marche to visit family in June. We have decided to stay at Hotel Emilia in Portonova, because we have family in Ancona and Porto Civitanova...and we love the Adriatic Sea and water sports that are nearby.

We are being driven by private bus, from Rome. Once we arrive, how do we get around? What's the largest vehicle we can rent? Or, is there a bus/taxi service that we can call to take us where we need to go? For instance, if we all want to leave the hotel and go shopping in Ancona, what's the best way to do that? And if we all want to visit family in Porto Civitanova for a few hours, or go to a restaraunt.....do we call 3 taxis or one bus? Or should we rent 3 cars? There are so many of us that a tour guide would be nice, but we will be with our family alot, so we don't need a tour guide all the time. Any suggestions?

Hi everybody,

we are taking the ferry from Ancona in june to Croatia but want to leave the car in Ancona as we will be back 10 days later. Do you have a suggestion for a safe place to parc the car nearby the ferry terminal? Thank you!

Should we worry about booking in advance if we are planning to stay in a budget to mid-range place for 1 night in June? Will there be plenty of choices? Do they give big discounts on their normal rates if you book upon arrival (stand by rates)? Do they work on a bartering system there and encourage negotiating lower rates? Is there a good place to go to find cheap accomodation upon arrival at the train station or ferry terminal?

Thanks! Happy Travels!
