Pescara (province)
Understand
Within the province of Pescara there is much to see and do. Whether you are interested in art, sport or eating, there is always something for you.
Get in
From Rome: the easiest way to get here is by bus. Check ARPA or CAGIDEMETRIO online and you will find a schedule with prices. A bus journey is just about 2 and a half hours. Travelling by train would be my last choice as it takes over 4 hours and the train stops frequently along its route. By car, Pescara is easily accessible and the fastest way to get here through an expressway.
