Hotels Pescara, Guesthouses Pescara and Residences Pescara

Pescara is one of the most appreciated provincial capitals of Abruzzo, since it gathers wide and compelling beaches, well-kept sea front and promenades and high-quality tourist services and facilities. The river Pescara crosses the whole city and then flows into the Adriatic Sea passing through the charming canal harbour, which in summer is scattered with plenty of colourful fishing boats.

Those looking for plesant holidays in Pescara can take advantage of well-kept accommodation facilities situated along the sea front, comfortable 3-star guesthouses and elegant 4-star hotels overlooking the alluring coastline. Both cheap inns and the luxury hotels with swimming pool situated along the sea front are situated a short walking distance from the city centre, while intimate bed and breakfasts situated just in the heart of the old town and budget hotels are the ideal accommodation facilities for young people who decide to spend their summer holidays in Pescara.

The city, which was almost completely destroyed during World War II, was fully rebuilt in the post-war period according to the projects by the rationalist architect Luigi Piccinato. As a result, the city gathers contemporary works of art which have been designed by important architects over the last few decades, and stands out as a modern, thriving centre. Piazza della Rinascita, which is also called Piazza Salotto since it is the city's main gathering place, has recently been renovated by Japanese architect Toyo Ito, who also realized the modern monument situated just in the heart of the square.
South of the harbour is Pescara's ancient original core, which features a charming sea front gathering the lush pinewood forests and gardens of the so-called Pescara Pineta (Pescara's Pinewood Forest), also known as Pineta Dannunziana (D'Annunzio Pinewood Forest), an unspoilt natural reserve which hosts Mediterranean fauna and flora and the open-air arena of D'Annunzio Theatre.
The same side of the city gathers Bagno Borbonico, the ancient prison which now hosts the Museum of Peoples from Abruzzo, and St. Cetteo Cathedral, which cherishes a precious painting depicting St. Francis by Guercino, a donation from Gabriele D’Annunzio. A short distance from it is the native house of D'Annunzio, the most illustrious citizen from Pescara who dedicated his native town the collection of short novels  “The novels of Pescara”. The most crowded streets of the old town host Pescara's main clubs, discos and pubs, which liven up the city's night life.
Over the last few decades, Pescara has become an important point of reference for the lovers of culture, since it is the venue for important museums, such as the Museum “Vittoria Colonna”,  the Civic Museum "Basilio Cascella”, the Media-Museum in Piazza Alessandrini and the new multipurpose area hosted inside Aurum former liquor distillery. The city is also home to important musical and theatrical reviews, such as Pescara Jazz in July, indie rocket festival at the beginning of summer and the Festival of theatre and classical music Il Fiume e la Memoria (the River and the Memory) which takes place all summer long.  Pescara also hosts the International Meeting of State-of-the-art Electronic Art and the International Prize Ennio Flaiano, the latter dedicated to cinema, theatre, literature and television.
