Travelling to Urbino
Urbino is not so easy to reach. It is located in the Marche region, on the Apennines, 30 km from Adriatic Sea. Urbino can be reached directly only by car or bus.
The closest towns to Urbino having a train station are Pesaro (30 km.) and Fano (40 km); it is possible to get there with trains from major cities like Milan, Bologna or Rome. Even though trains are particularly cheap, it takes time, so plan your trip carefully.
To reach Urbino we suggest you to fly to Bologna or Ancona, and then to Urbino with the shuttle busses we will organize on the day before the conference starts.
The fastest option to reach Urbino, however, is surely to rent a car. Different rental companies have their offices in Ancona and Bologna airports and in Pesaro station. So, if you're not traveling alone, sharing a rented car could be a good (and even economic) option, which gives you a high degree of flexibility.
Below, we list a number of possible travel options. Choose the one which suites you most. Should you have questions, pls do not hesitate in contacting us at info@espanet2009.net
