Ancona Airport Guide (AOI) 2026

The basics

Ancona Falconara (AOI) is 18km from Ancona center. Very small — Ryanair routes to a handful of European cities. Le Marche's only airport. Also useful for reaching Urbino (70 min), the Conero Riviera (30 min), and Ascoli Piceno (90 min).

Getting to Ancona

Train: Ancona Castelferretti station (near airport) to Ancona Centrale (€2.50, 15 min). Or Raffaello bus (€2, 25 min).

Taxi: €25-30, 20 min.

Le Marche by car

This is Italy's hidden region — Renaissance hill towns, Adriatic beaches, mountain parks, truffle country — and virtually tourist-free. A rental car is essential for exploring. From Ancona: Urbino (70 min), Ascoli Piceno (90 min), Riviera del Conero beaches (20 min), Sibillini Mountains (90 min).

💡 Le Marche is what Tuscany was 30 years ago. Rolling hills, medieval towns, extraordinary food, a fraction of the tourists, a fraction of the prices. If you fly into Ancona and rent a car, you've found Italy's best-kept secret. Don't tell anyone.
