The town
Senigallia is in the Ancona region of Marche, Italy.
A fishing port town of 45,000 people (2017) in the Marche region, it has a well preserved castle called La Rocca.
Senigallia is also known for the beach. The sand is very special being uncommonly soft. For this reason, Senigallia is also known as "Spiaggia di Velluto" ("Velvet beach"). On the beach you can also have a drink and enjoy music at the "La Rotonda".
"Take a stroll like an Italian"- at around sunset (when it is cooler) just after, or right before dinner, every Italian heads to "Il Corso" a main street in the town to say hi to all their neighbors, catch up on gossip, and meet friends.

Getting there
Senigallia is well connected by car, since the Adriatica highway has an exit for the town.
Many trains stop at the city train station, though to catch most of the Intercity (and higher) trains serving the Adriatica train line, you will need to catch a local train and take a connection in Ancona, Pesaro, or Rimini.
