Airport Transfers & Getting Around

Ancona Airport (AOI) in Falconara Marittima is located roughly 18 km west of central Ancona:

• Direct Train (Aeroporto di Castelferretti to Ancona Centrale): The Castelferretti railway station is located right outside the airport terminal. Direct Trenitalia regional trains take roughly 15–20 minutes to reach central Ancona and cost around €2.50 to €3.00 each way.
• Airport Shuttle Bus (Aerobus Raffaello): Connects the terminal directly with Piazza Cavour and Ancona railway station in about 30 minutes for around €5.50.
• Car Hire: If you want to explore the coastal towns of Sirolo, Numana, and the hills of Le Marche, car rentals from Ancona Airport are very affordable during October.

• Land at Ancona Airport at 09:50 AM and take the 15-minute train straight to central Ancona.

• Walk down past the 2nd-century Roman Arch of Trajan and along the historic port walls.
