ANC01 - URBINO

Budding painters, photographers and dreamers … all will enjoy the art and aesthetics of Urbino and delight in the quaint streets and squares of this lovely walled city and UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will reach Urbino after a 1.5-hour coach drive to meet your guide and start a tour around the historic old town, one of the best preserved medieval centres in Italy. Located on a sloping hillside, Urbino offers picturesque views over the verdant valleys, straight out of an Italian masterpiece.

ANC03 - THE “FRASASSI” CAVES
Duration: 4 hours 15 minutes
An approx. 45-min drive through the pretty Italian countryside will take you to Genga and the unforgettable Frassasi Caves. Your guide will escort you on an underground adventure among the otherworldly stalagmites and stalactites found within the famous cave system, which was discovered and then explored between 1948 and 1971. The safe routes through the spectacular caves coupled with dramatic lighting make this a truly awe-inspiring experience for the whole family. The caves also boast Europe’s largest single cavern, the Grotta Grande del Vento – so big that Milan Cathedral would easily fit inside. Next up is a visit to St. Vittore’s Abbey, a notable example of Romanesque architecture dating back to 1011, and the Museum. After the visit you will reach Fazi Battaglia Winery where we will stop for a tasting.
Please note: we suggest to bring comfortable shoes and a jacket because temperature inside the caves is around 14 degrees. Taking photos or shooting videos during the visit to the Caves is prohibited.
