CAR & MOTORCYCLE
Ancona is on the A14, linking Bologna with Bari. The SS16 coastal road runs parallel to
the autostrada and is pleasant, toll-free alternative if you're not looking to get anywhere
fast. The SS76 connects Ancona with Perugia and Rome.
There's plenty of parking, which gets steadily more expensive the closer to the centre
you get (€1.20 to €2.70 per hour). At the multistorey Parcheggio Degli Archi near the
train station it's just €2 to park all day.
