Best time to visit Marche
The best time to visit Marche is during spring (April to June) and early autumn (September to October). During these months, the weather is mild and pleasant, making it perfect for outdoor activities such as exploring hilltop towns, hiking in the countryside, or enjoying the Adriatic coast.
The landscapes are at their most beautiful, with rolling hills in full bloom in spring and golden hues in autumn. Additionally, tourist attractions are less crowded than in peak summer, allowing for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience throughout the region.
Food and drink in Marche
Marche is known for its fresh, flavorful, and traditional Italian cuisine, combining coastal seafood with hearty inland dishes. Along the Adriatic coast, you’ll find fresh fish, seafood pasta, and fried seafood specialties, while inland villages serve meat dishes, truffles, and seasonal vegetables.
Signature dishes include vincisgrassi, a rich baked pasta similar to lasagna, and olive ascolane, deep-fried stuffed olives that are a regional favorite. Cheeses, cured meats, and local bread also play an important role in traditional meals.
The region is famous for its Verdicchio wines, crisp whites that pair beautifully with seafood, as well as Rosso Piceno, a robust red. For a relaxed aperitivo, enjoy a glass of local wine or prosecco along with freshly baked focaccia or local snacks.
The main airport serving Marche is Ancona Falconara Airport (AOI), about 15–20 minutes by car from the city of Ancona. It handles both domestic and international flights and is the easiest entry point to the region.
Other nearby airports include Pescara Airport (PSR), roughly 2.5–3 hours by car, and Bologna Airport (BLQ), around 2.5–3 hours by car, which are convenient alternatives for international travelers.

Coastal and hill roads can be narrow and winding, especially near medieval towns, so caution is advised. Traffic is heavier in summer, particularly along the Adriatic coast.
