Things to do In Pescara, Italy

Ponte Del Mare (Bridge)

This sweeping curved structure, erected in 2009 to carry bikes and walkers across the Pescara River, is by far the best and one of the most gorgeous new bridges in Italy. It is undeniably the greatest viewpoint in the city, with views of the long beachfront and the contrasting modern and old towns, as well as the Abruzzese Mountains – and, on clear days, Corno Grande – rising in the backdrop.

Museo Civico Basilio Cascella

The Museo Civico Basilio Cascella is situated in Pescara's historical centre. The Museum is situated in an 1895 chrome-lithographic mill. The museum is devoted to Abruzzo artist Basilio Cascella, who resided within the facility and established a research and experimenting centre. He has dabbled with painting, pottery, lithography, publishing, and photography here. Cascella's works are represented in the museum's collection as oils, paintings, pastels, tempera, watercolours, prints, posters, art publications, lithographs, ceramics, and labels. Among all, his "bathroom of the shepherdess" brilliance stood out. The paintings of Michael's sons, Joachim and Thomas, with their personalities and styles, are also included in the collection. The museum allows visitors to recreate historical events.

Museo delle Genti d'Abruzzo

The museum tells the narrative of humanity in Abruzzo, beginning with man's initial appearance as a Palaeolithic wanderer. It emphasises the role of nine italic tribes from Abruzzo and Molise to the creation of Rome, thereby giving the peninsula the name "Italy." The museum's major topic, grouped into 16 massive display rooms, is the notion of continuation, everlasting culture, which is portrayed via a captivating, instructive exposition, equipped with multimedia technologies and a digitally aided audio tour available in many languages. The museum is one of the most creative and original in the subject of Anthropology in Italy. The Museum of the Abruzzi People is housed within the former Bourbon barracks building in Pescara's historical centre. The level where the permanent collection is housed was established in the 18th century as a barracks in the basement.

Sea of the Trabocchi

The Sea of the Trabocchi in Abruzzo is probably one of the most intriguing Italian regions overlooking the Adriatic Sea. It is a length of seashore in the region of Chieti that encompasses seven municipalities. This is without a doubt one of the most picturesque and intriguing spots in Abruzzo. In reality, the term is derived from the historic fishing equipment on stilts that are distinctive of this area's seaside settlements. The coast of the trabocchi, also known as the coast of the 7 sisters, is a section of the Adriatic Sea beachfront in the province of Chieti. It is one of the most intriguing and authentic portions of the shoreline that runs from Francavilla al Mare to San Salvo along the Adriatica route 16.

Pineta Dannunziana

The Province's Natural Reserve of Interest Pineta Dannunziana, also known as "Pineta Dannunzianal," is a natural reserve in the southern part of Pescara. It now has an area of about 53 hectares, only 35 of which are part of the ancient forest, the so-called Pineta di Pescara, which was known in the 8th century as a frame of reference for Byzantine sailors who sailed along this stretch of coast – on their way to and from Ravenna – and sought refuge here during storms. It is also known as Pineta D'Avalos or Parco D'Avalos, after the name of the family that held the Marquisate of Pescara during the Bourbon time and when Gabriele D'Annunzio stayed here between 1904 and 1912.

Ponte Flaiano

A work of art with a great deal of captivation. One wouldn't call it a tourist destination, but people usually take visitors here to show them around.

La Fontana Nave di Cascella

The monument's official name is "L'approdo Della Nave," but it is often known as "Fontana la Nave" ("The Ship Fountain") or "Nave di Cascella" ("Cascella's Ship"). It was constructed in 1987 by sculptor Pietro Cascella. The statue is entirely made of Carrara marble and is designed to seem like an antique galley in a contemporary aesthetic style.

Corso Umberto

When viewed on a topo map, Corso Umberto looks to be rather eccentric in relation to Pescara as a whole. The geometric city centre does, in fact, correlate with the river's axis, and near to the river, the important public buildings (mainly from the Fascist era), most notably the Town Hall, emerge.

However, this street's "substantial" prominence stems from its origins: it was built as the foundation of the new urbanisation encouraged by the arrival of the Adriatic railway (1863). Corso Umberto, in reality, was constructed in the nineteenth century as an axis that links the Pescara station to the beach and the sea, despite the fact that the majority of its existing structures are from the twentieth century. In addition, its importance is still felt today.

Even the first-time visitor to Pescara considers this as the genuine centre, due to the enormous quantity and density of excellent stores, as well as the pedestrian area that Corso Umberto shares - in the shape of a gridiron - with other streets on the west and notably on the east side. The neighbourhood isn't as lively in the late fall and winter evenings, when the businesses have closed (there are still a good number of bars and restaurants). It's obvious that during spring and summer evenings, owing to Pescara's unique qualities as a metropolitan city and a coastal resort, there must be a lot more "buzz."

Paparella Treccia Devlet Museum

The Museum is located in a late-nineteenth-century home in Pescara's town. It holds Raffaele Paparella Treccia's exquisite and ancient pottery collection, the product of 40 years of investigation and study by Raffaele Paparella Treccia, who bequeathed his treasure trove and his residence to a Trust named after him and his wife Margaret Devlet. The Foundation is dedicated to promoting awareness of Castelli's majolica as well as educational initiatives that inspire love and interest in art.
