Clear comparison

Pesaro

Province of Pesaro e Urbino · Marche · Italy

Admission and costs
The square and stalls can be explored freely; purchases and refreshments cost extra. Casa Rossini costs €7 full price and Palazzo Mosca €10; the €14 combined ticket includes both and other venues in the museum circuit.
Getting there
For arrival by car, use Il Curvone car park on Viale dei Partigiani, identified by the municipality for access to the centre. Continue towards Piazza del Popolo, keeping the market, Via Rossini and Piazza Mosca in one urban itinerary.
Time to allow
Allow around 4 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
Move your market time indoors to Palazzo Mosca at Piazza Mosca 29. The Civic Museums require their own ticket and close on 25 December and 1 January, so they are not a backup on those dates.
Where to park
Il Curvone car park is on Viale dei Partigiani. Continue towards Piazza del Popolo.

Time to allow
