Other Towns in Pesaro-Urbino Province I Have Visited
These are towns I've visited in the Pesaro-Urbino province, in addition to Urbania.
Acqualagna - We went browsing for shoes here in this town. Hosts the Annual Truffle Fair in fall.
Fano - Only came here once, and it was late during a cold April evening. However, all the Italians seemed to think Summer was in full-swing! Everyone was celebrating on the beaches already; I can't imagine how crazy it becomes during the real summer months. They even have a site for tourists!
Fossombrone - Took the bus here, walked around town and sought some ancient ruins. For Fossombrone's official site (in Italian), click here.
Pesaro - When I first arrived in Pesaro, it seemed so small. But after my time in Urbania, it seemed to monstruous. I guess it's all relative. Pesaro, like all seaside towns, becomes busy during the summer. This is their official tourism site for more info.
Urbino - Visited the birthplace of Raphael several times, as there was bus service daily to it from Urbania. This English site is a good welcome to Urbino. If you can read Italian, visit Urbino's site.
If possible, stop by Gola del Furlo. Beautifuly scenery, no tourists. Just clear blue-green water set against the limestone cliffs. You'll need a car for this. Dine at FURLO (Tel. 0172/700096, fax 0721/700117, Via Furlo 66) or at LA GINESTRA (Tel. 0172/797033, fax 0721/700040, Closed Monday and January).

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!
