How do I choose between the experiences in Ascoli Piceno?

Decide what you want from the day. For orientation and stories, pick a guided walking tour of the historic centre. For food and drink, choose an olive oil or wine tasting, or a truffle hunt in the surrounding hills. For something quieter, look at nearby villages such as Acquaviva Picena or the fortress at Civitella del Tronto.

Do I need a car to enjoy things to do around Ascoli Piceno?

The historic centre is compact and best explored on foot, so no car is needed for city tours and tastings. Some experiences, such as truffle hunting in Abruzzo or visits to hill towns like Offida and Acquaviva Picena, sit outside the city and are easier with your own transport or a pre-arranged transfer.

Frequently asked questions

Book as early as you can for spring and early autumn, when the weather is mild and walking tours, olive oil tastings and truffle hunting fill up fastest. Summer weekends and the days around Ascoli's historic festivals also sell out quickly.
