Discover Urbino, capital of the Renaissance and UNESCO World Heritage Site, through a guided tour. A fascinating itinerary extending into the rolling hills of the Montefeltro region—the very horizons that inspired the immortal masterpieces of Piero della Francesca and the greatest masters of Italian art.
URBINO GUIDED TOUR
Urbino, a city nestled across two hills: entering from Porta Valbona, you reach Piazza della Repubblica, the bustling heart of town. From here, you can explore the hill featuring Raffaello’s Birthplace (Casa Natale di Raffaello), where the master painter was born in 1483, and visit the exquisite Oratories of San Giovanni and San Giuseppe—true hidden gems tucked away among medieval alleys and steep lanes (piole) leading to the city’s highest point, site of the Fortezza Albornoz. The journey continues to the Ducal Palace of Urbino (Palazzo Ducale), the true heart and soul of the city, where the history of the Montefeltro and Della Rovere dynasties intertwines with the extraordinary collections of the National Gallery of the Marche (Galleria Nazionale delle Marche). Finally, the Neoclassical Cathedral (Duomo) houses works by Federico Barocci.
TREASURE HUNT AND ESCAPE GAME IN URBINO
The adventure begins in the heart of Urbino! Equipped with maps and compasses, students (divided into small teams) will navigate the city streets and narrow alleys, following clues and overcoming challenges to discover lesser-known corners and hidden details. Guided by palaces, coats of arms, heraldic emblems, inscriptions, and sweeping vistas, the game leads them through the rich history of Urbino—one of the great Renaissance capitals brought to glory by the court of Duke Federico da Montefeltro. It is an interactive experience that invites participants to see the city with fresh eyes, observe its landscape, and piece together the stories written in its stones, putting their curiosity, observation skills, and teamwork to the test.
