This new, fourth edition of Bradt's Italy: Abruzzo remains the only standalone English-language guide to this beautiful, increasingly favoured part of Italy. Abruzzo offers the best of undiscovered Italy, from pristine beaches to mountain glaciers, with charming medieval villages clinging to the hillsides in between. This edition has been thoroughly updated to cover all recent developments, explaining in detail its appeal for active tourism, including wildlife-watching, trekking, skiing and horse-riding, plus family holidays.
Abruzzo offers one of Italy's most beautiful coastlines, which lie near the country's tallest mountain ranges outside the Alps. Little wonder that Abruzzo is Italy's second most popular skiing centre bar the Alps and that it offers some the country's finest hiking and wildlife-watching opportunities. Moreover, according to the 'I Borghi Più Belli d'Italia' ('Italy's most beautiful towns') programme, Abruzzo has 25 such locations, second only to Umbria.
What makes the Abruzzo region remarkable is that, despite being so close to Rome, it is still about as unique and authentic an Italian experience as you can get in a country so devoured by international tourism. The Abruzzesi feel a sense of relief about this, viewing theirs as the one truly untouched region in Italy - and this despite increasing accessibility from other European countries and its emergence as a leading conference destination.
Alongside practical information how to get around, and suggestions for the best places to stay and eat (including both secret urban gems and remote rural idylls), Bradt's Italy: Abruzzo also advises on where to go to enjoy Blue Flag beaches, mountain walks, pristine castles, frescoed churches, World War II commemorative sites, Roman ruins and the chance to spot charismatic animals such as brown bears and grey wolves. There is extensive coverage of Abruzzo's notable cultural and linguistic diversity, and of its cuisine: Abruzzo is home to most of Italy's pasta production. Written with warmth and insight by a native Abruzzese, this fourth edition of Bradt's Italy: Abruzzo contains all the practical and background information, and expert local advice, you need to discover this surprising, enchanting Italian region.
