This delightful seaside retreat is best known as the birthplace of Gabriele D’Annunzio, one of the most prominent Italian poets of the twentieth century.
Of course, most visitors come here to enjoy the beaches, but that’s not all the city has to offer.
For starters, the bustling marina is a great place to go for a walk or a bike ride on a sunny morning or late afternoon.
Here, you’ll also find plenty of shops, cafés, and restaurants, where you can enjoy a pick-me-up before pressing on to the next attraction.
Of course, like many other Italian cities, Pescara is steeped in history and features many fine examples of buildings and architecture dating as far back as the Roman Empire.
It’s also home to a number of art galleries, where you can view works from the likes of Picasso and Miró.
If this sounds like the kind of place you’d like to visit on your next break, keep reading for a comprehensive list of everything else Pescara has to offer so you can make the most out of your trip
