Undiscovered Italy - Le Marche including Urbino and San Marino

Upon arrival, we will be welcomed by our guide at Bologna Airport. Our guide will then accompany us as we are transferred to our hotel in the lovely seaside town of Pesaro, on Italy's Adriatic coast.

Let’s see more of Pesaro.

We will have the morning free to relax and settle into our hotel, or why not get our bearings with a leisurely stroll through Pesaro and uncover the main square, Piazza del Popolo.

Join us this afternoon as we enjoy a guided walking tour of Pesaro, the birthplace of the world famous composer Gioacchino Rossini. Here we will discover more of the historic  town centre with its Medieval and Renaissance monuments and a modern quarter which extends out towards the sea.        

After breakfast, we set off for a full day excursion to Urbino. Here we will enjoy panoramic views of the glorious landscape and a visit to the heart of the walled city.

Sturdy footwear is recommended today as Urbino is a hilltop town with many cobbled streets.

Let’s get together with our fellow travellers and enjoy lunch (included) in a local restaurant in this historic town.   

After breakfast, join us for a full day visit to Gradara. We will be guided through this charming town which is thought to have been the scene of Dante's tragic love story of Paolo and Francesca. After lunch (included) with our fellow travellers, we continue our tour to one of the region's vineyards and cellars to taste some local wines.

Enjoy a free day to explore the area and discover more of Pesaro at a leisurely pace. Why not take a stroll on the beach, savour an al fresco lunch in one of the many restaurants or sip a glass of prosecco as you look out onto the Adriatic. Our local representative will be pleased to offer recommendations for sightseeing, shopping, and entertainment options in the area.

Today, visit Gubbio, a medieval town in Umbria known as the “city of fools,” with its steep cobbled streets, historic stone buildings, and impressive 13th–14th century architecture.

Enjoy a tasting of typical local cured meats and cheeses before heading to Città di Castello, where a walk through the historic center reveals remnants of 16th-century walls and deep ties to Roman and Renaissance history.

On this final day, take some time to relax and enjoy more of your surroundings. Our local representative will be pleased to offer recommendations.

Time to bid farewell to the beautiful region of Le Marche. Our guide will accompany us as we are transferred to the airport for our flight home.
