Pescara is the largest city of Abruzzo, with a long beach on the Adriatic, a lively seafront and the birthplace of D’Annunzio. It is the gateway to the Costa dei Trabocchi and to the Majella and Gran Sasso parks.
Practical tips
- Try lamb arrosticini and Pescara-style brodetto.
- The cycle path by the sea continues as far as the trabocchi.
- On 15 August the beach is very crowded: better to arrive early.
