Sightseeing in Pescara - what to see. Complete travel guide

The closer to the center of the city the beach is, the more entertainments are located near it. In the beach area you will always find several restaurants and cafes, children's center and sports equipment rentals. If you enjoy diving, remote beaches will suit you the most as there are no so many people there and the water is much cleaner.
Those tourists, who want to learn about the history of the city, should visit Delle Genti d `Abruzzo Museum, where they will see the collections of artifacts starting from ancient time and until the middle of the 20th century.

The main tourist street of the city is Corso Umberto I, remarkable for its numerous historical buildings, as well as the variety of popular restaurants and cafes. A significant part of the buildings that we can see on the historic street was erected in the 18th-19th centuries. Today, on the ground floor of many historic buildings there are attractive stores and souvenir shops.

The miniature Museo delle Genti d'Abruzzo is sure to please fans of fascinating tours. It introduces visitors to the beautiful traditions and customs of the Abruzzo region. The museum displays a collection of ancient household items; a large part of the exhibition consists of various agricultural devices. Some of them look so bizarre that it's really hard to guess their purpose at first glance.

At the top of one of the hills is a miniature church, named after St. Sylvester. This church is characterized by an impressive impregnable appearance. It had been used by locals as a fortress for many years. Within the walls of this church, they could escape from floods or hide from conquerors. Today, the church is attractive for its beautiful antique decoration, while its surrounding area is perfect for walking. The hilltop where the church stands offers a wonderful view of adjacent territories.
