The Palazzo Ducale in Urbino houses the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche, which costs €12 full and €2 for EU citizens aged 18 to 25 and opens Tuesday to Sunday from 8:30 am to 7:15 pm (2026).

## €12, €2, or free under 18

A full ticket to the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche costs €12, EU citizens aged 18 to 25 pay €2, and EU citizens under 18 go free (2026). The prices are in euros.

The annual card costs €30 and entry is free on the first Sunday of every month. The 2026 prices and hours are confirmed by both the Ministry of Culture portal and the official ticket office.

## Tuesday to Sunday, last ticket at 6:15 pm

The gallery opens Tuesday to Sunday from 8:30 am to 7:15 pm, and the ticket office closes at 6:15 pm, 60 minutes before the doors (18:15 and 19:15 on Italian signs).

It shuts on December 25 and January 1. The address is Piazza Rinascimento 13, Urbino.

## Monday afternoons, until September 14

One official page adds a Monday opening from 3 pm to 7 pm, and marks it valid until September 14, 2026.

The confirmed 2026 timetable, backed by two sources, says closed on Monday. Read together, the likeliest picture is a summer Monday opening that ends in mid-September. After September 14, don't plan a Monday in Urbino around the palace.

The gallery's own site, gndm.it, is where to check the autumn Mondays.

## Federico da Montefeltro's palace

The gallery fills the palace built for Federico da Montefeltro, with paintings and sculpture from the 14th to the 18th century, ceramics, drawings and furniture.

Five centuries of objects in one building take time. Put the ticket office's 6:15 pm cut-off in your head before lunch.

## 29.23 hectares: the listing is the whole town

Urbino's UNESCO listing, from 1998 under criteria ii and iv, covers a core zone of 29.23 hectares, the historic city inside its Renaissance walls, not the palace alone.

The buffer zone around it measures 3,608.5 hectares, more than a hundred times the core. The protection reaches well beyond the walls.
