So do I really need to rent a car in Le Marche?

Transportation in Le Marche

If all you plan on doing is traveling and visiting one town after the next, maybe you should consider it. But I was able to visit several towns in Le Marche and Umbria sans car. I 'bussed' it during my month-long stay in Le Marche (Urbania), and enjoyed the scenery of the towns that we passed through to my destination -- that was always exciting. Of course, I would have to pick towns that had bus routes, but fortunately there were enough to satisfy me during my stay. When I didn't take the bus, I would go for walks around Urbania and explore the paese of 7000 or so inhabitants. Whether you ultimately choose to rent a car, take a bus, or stay near a town where there is a train station (Urbania did not have a train station), enjoy your travels as if they were your last and savor every minute!
