Abruzzo Travel Tips: 10 Things You Must See

Silvia Donati | Wednesday, March 22, 2017 - 17:07

Located in central Italy, Abruzzo stretches from the heart of the Apennines to the Adriatic Sea and presents a variety of landscapes, from soaring mountains to picturesque villages rich in history and culture, from the coast dotted with the typical trabocchi to enchanting lakes. In fact, Abruzzo’s emblem is a shield divided into three diagonal bands: white, like the peaks of its snow-capped mountains; green like the gentle hills of its countryside; and blue, like its sea.

Here are ten things you should not miss when you visit Abruzzo.
