The City of Two Cities: A Self-Guided Pescara Tour
Overview
Pescara may be known as the “City of Two Cities", but its story goes much further back than the unification of two towns, Pescara and Castellammare Adriatico, in 1927. On this self-guided walking tour, you’ll find out how a city devastated by WWII bombs managed to rebuild while preserving its 2,000-year history.
Starting at Piazza del Sacro Cuore, you’ll cross both of Pescara River’s banks and discover a city that’s authentically Italian without the tourist crowds. You’ll hear about its origins as Ostia Aterni’s Roman port and how it became a Spanish fortress. You’ll also find out about the city’s strong connection to its most famous son, literary legend Gabriele D’Annunzio.
You’ll stroll along seaside promenades lined with historic neighbourhoods, passing by innovative contemporary art galleries and traditional markets. You’ll walk the longest cycle-pedestrian bridge in Italy, the 466-meter Ponte del Mare which offers panoramic views from the Adriatic to the Apennine Mountains.
