    Get in

    [edit]

    Macerata is most easily accessible using Italy's efficient trains. Whether you are arriving from the north, most likely through Bologna, or from Rome, you are going to have to transfer from the faster, larger trains to smaller, regional ones. Information about train fares and timetables are easily found online. Tourists to Macerata can also arrive by car. This might be a more desirable option if you are staying outside of the old city walls, or have a limited amount of time in the city, and want to see many sites in that short time.

    Get around

    [edit]

    Macerata has a bus system that will take visitors to harder to reach places outside of the walls in the newer parts of the city. However, the most efficient, and in many ways more pleasant, way of seeing the city is to walk. Macerata is an old Medieval town with the center of the city high on a hill. The old part of town is completely walled in, with the newer parts of town lying outside of the walls. Walking the old part of the city is easy in one day, but there are many alleys and side streets to get lost in, which you should allow yourself to do. Macerata is not very easily accessible for those with disabilities, as there are a lot of stairs in the old part of town.
