You are in Italy - take a lunch break!

It should be noted that in Italy lunch is still taken very seriously. Apart from some large supermarkets most institutions close down from about 1pm until 4 or even 5pm. They will then remain open until 7 or 8 pm. It is always wise to check opening times before going anywhere as they do vary. Some historical and cultural sites are closed during the week in winter. Again inquiries should be made prior to arriving to avoid disappointment.

If you are planning to visit cultural sites, museums (there are apparently about 400 in the region) and art galleries in Le Marche, you may be interested in the Museum card. Once you have bought one, it will give you access to any of the participating institutions for free. The card can be purchased from any of these participating institutions listed on the website, (which seems to be only in Italian). Family cards are also available.
