About Marche

Italy's best-kept secret

Marche (the Marches) is often described as 'all of Italy in one region' — and it's not an exaggeration. Stretching from the Adriatic Sea in the east to the Apennine peaks in the west, it packs 180 km of coastline, the rolling hills of the interior, and mountains reaching 2,476 metres into a compact 9,344 km². Unlike its neighbour Tuscany, Marche remains relatively undiscovered by international tourism, meaning you get Renaissance cities, medieval hill towns, and blue-flag beaches with far fewer crowds and lower prices.

The region's cultural capital is Urbino, a UNESCO World Heritage city and the birthplace of Raphael. The Ducal Palace, built for Federico da Montefeltro in the 15th century, is one of the Renaissance's greatest architectural achievements — its studiolo (tiny study) inlaid with trompe l'oeil wood panels depicting books, musical instruments, and scientific instruments is a small masterpiece. The Galleria Nazionale delle Marche inside holds works by Piero della Francesca, Raphael, and Titian.

The Conero Riviera, south of Ancona, is one of Italy's most beautiful coastlines — white limestone cliffs plunging into turquoise water, with pebble beaches at Sirolo and Numana that rival anything in the Mediterranean. Inland, Ascoli Piceno's Piazza del Popolo — a travertine-paved oval surrounded by Renaissance loggias — is one of Italy's most beautiful piazzas. The Sibillini Mountains, named after the mythical Sibyl, offer wild hiking in a national park where golden eagles soar above flower-filled plateaus. Every IMPT booking in Marche removes 1 tonne of verified CO₂ at the same price as Booking.com.

Things to do

Best attractions in Marche

🏛️

Urbino — Palazzo Ducale

UNESCO Renaissance masterpiece. The Ducal Palace built by Federico da Montefeltro (1444-1482) contains one of Italy's great art collections — Piero della Francesca's Flagellation, Raphael's La Muta — and the famous studiolo with its trompe l'oeil inlaid wood panels. Raphael's birthplace house is a short walk away.

🏖️

Conero Riviera — Sirolo & Numana

White limestone cliffs, turquoise water, and pebble beaches south of Ancona. The Due Sorelle (Two Sisters) — twin sea stacks accessible only by boat — are the riviera's symbol. Sirolo's medieval centre and Numana's marina offer the perfect base. Some of Italy's cleanest bathing water.

🏰

Ascoli Piceno — Piazza del Popolo

One of Italy's most beautiful piazzas — a travertine oval framed by Renaissance loggias and the Palazzo dei Capitani. Ascoli is also famous for olive ascolane (giant stuffed fried olives) — the best street food in Marche. The Romanesque cathedral and Baptistery are a short walk away.

🕳️

Frasassi Caves

One of Europe's largest and most spectacular cave systems, discovered in 1971. The Grotta Grande del Vento chamber is so enormous that Milan's Duomo could fit inside it. Stalactites and stalagmites in surreal formations over a 75-minute guided walkway. Constant 14°C — bring a jacket.

🏔️

Sibillini Mountains National Park

A wild mountain range between Marche and Umbria, named after the mythical prophetess Sibyl. The Piano Grande — a vast flower-filled plateau at 1,300 metres — explodes with wildflowers in June-July. Hiking trails to Monte Vettore (2,476 m) and the legendary Lago di Pilato. Golden eagles overhead.

🎵

Pesaro — Rossini's Birthplace

Birthplace of composer Gioachino Rossini (1792). The Rossini Opera Festival (August) draws music lovers worldwide. The composer's birthplace museum holds his spinet, scores, and portraits. Pesaro was named Italian Capital of Culture 2024. Long sandy beaches stretch north and south.
