Urbino is my favourite place in Italy (so far). I've had 5 holidays just outside Urbino as well as visiting as part of WDW. It's a proper historic Italian hill town, but also a university city. If you fancy a dose of art/culture (other than, obviously, the Ducati art/culture at Misano), the Ducal Palace Museum is worth a visit. If you just fancy gelato, Sorbetto del Duca keeps calling me back. Beautiful scenery, but potholes in some of the roads between Urbino, Tavullia and Misano make even Surrey B roads look like a racetrack in comparison!

This year I will be using Bikeshuttle to get my bike to and from Geneva, giving me time to enjoy a few days in Sicily with the bike before WDW, and saving the tedious slog back through the northern half of France at the end of the trip, which has always been the least enjoyable part, having left the mountains behind.
