A panino or slice of pizza from a bakery/takeaway costs about €4-6; a fixed-menu lunch (pranzo di lavoro) in a trattoria is around €12-15.
A pasta or pizza main course in a casual restaurant averages €8-12; adding a drink and cover charge (coperto) brings it to about €15-18.
Look for bakeries (forni) or friggitorie selling fried fish, olives all'ascolana, and pizza al taglio; the port area and via XX Settembre have cheap-eat clusters.
Conad, Coop, and Lidl are the budget supermarket chains common in Ancona; the Conad at Piazza Ugo Bassi is handy for the 60131 area.
Affordable high-street chains (OVS, H&M, and local department stores) are in the city centre around Corso Garibaldi; the weekly market at Piazza del Plebiscito (Saturdays) has good-value clothing.
A single bus ticket within Ancona costs €1.30, valid for 75 minutes; a day pass (biglietto giornaliero) is €3.50 (buy from tabacchi before boarding). From Ancona airport, the Conerobus line A (€1.30) runs to the city centre; a taxi is about €15-20.
1. Always buy bus tickets at newsagents or tabacchi before boarding – they're cheaper than on the bus. 2. Eat standing at a bar for lunch (pizza or panino) to avoid the coperto charge. 3. Fill a water bottle at public water fountains (fontanelle) – tap water is safe and free.
