Macerata Getting there & around

Getting there & around

Macerata is off the main railway line, which ensures its tranquillity but requires at least one change, either in Civitanova Marche for most easterly routes (including Ancona and some trains from Rome) or the more time-consuming Fabriano to the west (including Umbria, Tuscany and most trains from Rome). The train station (0733 24 03 54) is located at Piazza XXV Aprile 8/10. Good connections include Ancona (€4.20, one hour 20 minutes, hourly) and Rome (€13.80 to €21.85, four to 5½ hours, nine daily). To reach Ascoli Piceno (€5.60, two hours, 11 daily) change trains in San Benedetto del Tronto or Porto d’Ascoli and Civitanova Marche.

Buses head to Rome (€15.40 to €20, four hours, six daily) and Civitanova Marche (€3.20, 25 minutes, three daily). Ask at the tourist office for timetables, which are also available at the bus terminal behind Giardini Diaz (0733 23 09 06).

The local orange APMbuses 6A, 6B, 7, 8 or 11 will take you between town and the train station. They start at either Rampa Zara or Piazza della Libertà.

You’ll find taxis (0733 23 35 70) for hire at Piazza della Libertà, at the train station (0733 24 03 53), as well as at Giardini Diaz (0733 23 13 39).

The SS77 connects the city with the A14 to the east and roads for Rome in the west.
