Tour description

Your tour will begin in Piazza della Repubblica, outside the Teatro delle Muse, where your private guide will welcome you to discover the best of the city, between centuries of history and breathtaking views.

The first stop of your experience is the Loggia dei Mercanti, an elegant Gothic façade that was once the hub of the city's trade, followed by the Church of Santa Maria della Piazza, a Romanesque gem among the city's oldest buildings, with its finely decorated portal.

Walking through the streets of the historic center, you'll reach the Palazzo degli Anziani before tackling the scenic climb up Colle Guasco, where the majestic Cathedral of San Ciriaco stands. The spiritual symbol of Ancona, the Cathedral offers one of the finest views over the gulf and the Adriatic Sea, along with a glimpse of the ruins of the Roman Amphitheatre below, a silent testimony to the city's ancient origins. A perfect panoramic spot for some memorable photos.

The tour then descends towards the majestic Piazza del Plebiscito, Ancona's main square, surrounded by historic buildings such as the Palazzo del Governo, where your guide will share the history and curiosities of this important city landmark.

Once the visit concludes, you'll return comfortably to the port with plenty of time to complete your boarding procedures with ease.
