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?

can anyone please advise the easiest way to get from senigallia to falconara airport using public transport - there doesn't appear to be any trains from senigallia to castelferetti between 7.30 and 11.30 in the morning......

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.

Hi there, i plan on visiting venice on the 21st of june, is it possible to get to ancona by train on an early sunday morning in order to catch the Superfast ferry to greece which leaves at 1:30pm???

We are a family with two teenage boys (13 and 15). We paln to visit in mid-June and we are looking for a place to stay in or near the town, preferably with a view of the ocean and the closer to the beach the better. Any suggestions? Any suggestions for restaurants or "must see or do" in the area?

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 there,

I am thinking about going to Marche this year, probably in September and October, travelling by car.

What is the wheather like in that time of the year ? According to different sites the temps are between 13 and 20 C with some small chance for rain.
Is that true ? If I want a bit more sunshine it is probably better to travel more south of going to Sardegna or Sicilia ?

Thanx in advance,

Kozz

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..

Why do so many of the sites not show pictures of the rooms?

My boss' family is from Fano and I would really like to get him a gift from there. He is a successful business man who travels quite a bit; therefore, I was initially thinking of purchasing a business card holder, maybe leather, that he could carry with him during travels. I am not familiar with Fano and have had difficulty locating a local merchant to shop for merchandise. I am not set on a business card holder, but definitely want something from Fano. Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Stacy

Hi- we are planning a few days around Easter in Sirolo. It sounds as if it might be expensive to eat out. Are there budget pizzerias or other restaurants? Will everything be open at Easter?

Thanks

Planning on coming to Pesaro in August this year, it will be my first time in Italy. What can I expect of Pesaro, are the plenty of nice restaurants to chose from, any nice little bars for on an evening. How easy is it booking excursions to other cities? Im planning on stopping at the Baia Flaminia, cant seem to find any reviews on this place so any additional info would be appreciated!

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.

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

Hi we are thinking of taking cheap flight to Ancona next year.Firstly would it be best to go in Whitsun school hols end of May beg of June or Summer.With a child we dont want it too hot just enough to make it warm enough for swimming but I do remember going to Tuscany in June and it was rainy and cold most of the time.
Secondly where to go as we would not have a car but have always managed with trains and buses(part of the experience ha ha.)
We like architecture town life wine, eating markets and festivals and we try to go to go to places that will suit our son ie swimming pool,sand,parks boats rivers ice cream. We would consider staying in 2 or 3 places at most possibly dividing between coast(but not packed like sardines beaches) and interior.How easy is this on trains/buses.Is this asking too much we have usually done the south of france quite easily as transport was good.Or would we best staying in one central area and doing day trips?thanks for any advice

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

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.

Sorry, it's OT, but since I have serious problems with the email programme, I'd like to tell Dan (whom I should meet in the weekend in Ancona) to email me at LEAVETHIS_angelo.recchi@gmail.com (leave LEAVETHIS_ and you get the address).

Thanks and sorry again.

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!
