Pretty Ancona's been an under-the-radar tourist spot for a few years now hiding age-old landmarks and striking architecture behind its front of a bustling harbour. Today you can peel back the layers of this central Italian seaport discovering a history that stretches back to 400 BC. Your guided walking tour will take in the must-sees like the Arch of Trajan - an 18-metre-high Roman arch made from Turkish marble - and the impressive Ancona Cathedral - AKA the Cathedral of San Ciriaco. It sits on a hilltop which was once the site of a Greek acropolis and shows off an interesting mix of Byzantine and Gothic architecture. You'll also take in the photo-perfect Mole Vanvitelliana - a pentagon-shaped 18th-century artificial island which was built for Pope Clementine. After your tour you can head back to the ship with your guide or choose to spend some more time in the city.
