PESCARA

Pescara is a modern, young city, where the metropolitan life can be enjoyed without having to give up the entertainment of a provincial one. The word "boredom" does not come into the tourist's mind when the full possibilities are discovered: the incredibly long beach, the many hotels, the pubs, the tourist harbour, the sports centres, and the many cultural bodies. The visitor should not miss the chance of visiting the birthplaces of Gabriele D'Annunzio and Ennio Flaiano, the antique Bagno Borbonico with the Museo delle Genti d'Abruzzo (Museum of the Abruzzo People ) and the cathedral of S. Cetteo. From Pescara, with extreme ease, it is possible to visit the countryside: hills, mountains, the National Park of Abruzzo, and that of the Majella, the small piedmont towns. The choice is embarrassingly wide.
