Urbino – the Pearl of the Renaissance
Nestled in the rolling hills of the Marche region lies Urbino, a town of extraordinary beauty, rich in history, tradition, and Renaissance charm. Famous as the birthplace of Raphael, Urbino embodies the spirit of an era that changed the world.
During the Renaissance, Urbino became one of Italy’s most important cultural centers under the rule of Federico da Montefeltro. Even today, as you walk through its winding streets and brick-lined alleys, you can still feel the atmosphere of the fifteenth century.
Our local guide will lead you through the city’s evocative historic center, sharing stories and curiosities about the people and places that have made Urbino a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998. Along the way, you’ll admire the magnificent Ducal Palace, a true architectural masterpiece, as well as the town’s remarkable churches and landmarks.
Looking for a place where Renaissance history still lives on? Join us and discover Urbino—an authentic jewel of the Italian Renaissance.
Please note: since Urbino is literally in the middle of nowhere, the guide’s internet connection wasn’t always smooth. But trust us, the experience is absolutely worth it. Think of it as part of the charm of visiting a Renaissance gem that still feels untouched by time.
