Things to do in Ancona

The seaside town of Ancona, Italy is not on many travelers' radars. A port town for many centuries, Ancona is used to watching people come and go. But stay for a few hours, take the time to explore with a friendly local guide and you'll gain a wonderful understanding and appreciate for the city's fascinating history. Your private Ancona tour will take you for a stroll up Monte Guasco, where the buildings in the oldest part of town straddle a hill overlooking the sea. At the peak you'll find the grand Cattedrale di San Ciriaco. Its Byzantine, Gothic and Romanesque features create a striking tableau against the backdrop of sea and sky. On your way down, be sure to visit the Arco di Traiano, a remarkable first century BC Roman arch dedicated to the Emperor Trajan. Your guide is happy to customize a private Ancona tour that reflects your unique travel interests in this Italian port town, and to show you hidden gems you might otherwise overlook.
