The origins of Urbino are ancient. The name probably derives from the Latin word Urvinum urvus (urvum is the curved handle of the plow). Urbino is one of the most important centers of the Italian Renaissance. Since 1998, the old town has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Urbino is worth a trip in many ways. On the one hand, the city, also known as the "Cradle of the Renaissance" and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a single major attraction. Whether you're into art, culture or simply the city's great atmosphere, with its narrow, steep streets and great views of surrounding hills and villages, you'll love it. On the other hand, you can really race bike around Urbino. In the valleys of Metauro and Foglia you can cycle and Urbino is the perfect starting point.
