Getting around

"Stella is best explored by car to reach hilltop villages and countryside. Regional trains connect major towns like Ancona and Macerata, while local buses serve smaller routes. Biking is popular on coastal paths and through vineyards. Taxis are available but can be expensive; ride-hailing apps are limited. Walking is ideal for historic centers. Consider a Marche Pass for discounted public transport."

"Stella is very safe for tourists, with low crime rates. Petty theft can occur in crowded areas and on public transport, so keep valuables secure. Avoid isolated areas at night, especially in rural zones. Scams targeting tourists are rare but be cautious with unofficial taxis or overly friendly strangers. The region is well-policed, and emergency services are responsive. Always carry a copy of your passport."

Entry and health

Health information

"Healthcare in The Marches is excellent, with public hospitals in major towns. EU citizens should carry a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) for reduced-cost treatment. Non-EU visitors need comprehensive travel insurance. Pharmacies (farmacia) are well-stocked and can advise on minor ailments; look for the green cross. Tap water is safe to drink. For emergencies, dial 112. Mosquito repellent is recommended in summer, and sun protection is essential on the coast."

Culture

Local customs

"Italians value politeness: greet with 'Buongiorno' or 'Buonasera' and a handshake. Dress modestly when visiting churches—cover shoulders and knees. Dining etiquette includes waiting for the host to start, and tipping is not mandatory but rounding up the bill is appreciated. Lunch (pranzo) is the main meal, typically from 1-3 PM. Avoid asking for cappuccino after 11 AM. Respect quiet hours (riposo) from 1-4 PM in smaller towns."
