Hire a car in Ancona with Hertz
Organising car hire in Ancona, whether from our airport or downtown branches, enables you to explore this famous port town thoroughly. Whether you intend to spend your evenings in attractive Piazza del Plebiscito di Ancona with an aperitif or a meal beneath the stars, or whether you intend to see Ancona's cultural offerings, hiring a car in Ancona helps you maximise your time. Ancona's highlights include the Romanesque Cattedrale di San Ciriaco perched on top of Colle Giasco with wonderful views, the Roman Arch of Trajan, ancient history at odds with its surroundings as it nestles on the edge of the modern ferry port, or the Chiesa Santa Maria della Piazza, with some ancient mosaics.
A City of the Sea
Ancona, first and foremost a port, thrives from the sea. Just south lies stretches of unspoilt, clean beach perfect for swimming. Hiring a car in Ancona allows you to get off the beaten track, visiting beaches or the wonderful adjacent towns, such as Recanati, Urbino and Jesi, the city of Federico II. Rent a car in Ancona and visit Jesi, the third largest town after Ancona and Senegallia, where the great emperor Federico II was born in a tent in the imperial city's central square. For a bit of art upon your return to Ancona, why not visit the municipal art gallery of 'Francesco Podesti', which holds paintings by Titian and Guercino.
