Welcome to Pescara
Abruzzo's largest city is a heavily developed seaside resort with one of the biggest marinas on the Adriatic. The city was heavily bombed during WWII, reducing much of the centre to rubble. It's a lively place with an animated seafront, especially in summer, but unless you're coming for the 16km of sandy beaches, there's no great reason to hang around. One attraction not to miss is the Museo delle Genti d'Abruzzo, which has plenty that will appeal to kids too.
