"Ponte del Mare", meaning "Bridge of the sea", is a beautiful place to walk with family and friends, especially during the sunset. The sight of the sea is charming and calming, as blue and deep as a memory.

What an amazing place, have great views of Mount vesuvius. Loved eating out here amazing food

The bridge is a stunning architectural marvel, offering clear pathways for both pedestrians and bikers. The well-lit ambiance during the night enhances the experience, providing amazing views of the cityscape and the ocean. On clear days, the panoramic view from the top includes majestic mountains, the river elegantly dividing the city, and the vast expanse of the ocean. Beyond being a great spot for exercise, it stands as a delightful tourist attraction, seamlessly blending scenic beauty with functionality.

If you are in Pescara, you just have to walk or ride a bike over this bridge. The view is amazing when you walk on the river and see ships sailing in the distance. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to and at sunset the view is indescribable.

Architectural masterpiece. Be sure you met the sunrise or the sunset there at least once in a lifetime

Very relaxing place, great for running, and a evening walk!

Great views of the sunrise!

Nice to do walking here. I think needs a quite maintenance so that t place become welcoming again to everyone. I find it Pity that there are some people like to fo vandalizing the wall and it become unattractive to the tourist.

One of the most beautiful modern bridges that I ever seen! The architecture and the location are unique, a true marvell of Italian desig and engineering!!!

Unique construction, pedestrian and cyclist only, main Pescara attraction. Not to be missed, especially during sunset! Beautiful sea view, city view and mountain view in the distance. Also best if you run in the morning :)

Beautiful bridge has separate tracks for bicycles and pedestrians. Quite a view!

Must be! Beautiful view, at night main viewpoint. Downstairs is free public beach ⛱️

A beautiful bridge from which you can see an excellent view of Pescara. In the evening, everyone walks by him, athletes run through, cyclists drive to another part of the city..

When you visit the fortress, you can explore the ruins, enjoy the views and discover the history of this impressive structure. It is definitely a place to visit if you are interested in history and architecture.

Amazing walk and experience to get to the ruins and church. Requires a bit of a climb on an uneven path so make sure you have good shoes. Path can be a bit slippery and the way down tricky so be careful! It's totally beautiful and worth the climb!

Ruins of an ancient castle on top of a mountain with spectacular views over the surrounding mountain ranges and nearby villagea.

Very stunning castle ruin ,even the drive up the mountain was incredible. You can't drive right up to the castle, you either have to walk the 4 kms to it or take a bus from the village below. It costs 4 euros roundtrip per person. Some of the paths around the ruins might be a bit tricky for some people. The old Borgo close to the castle has several places to eat or have a drink plus some gift type shops.

A must see if you're in the area. Stunning 360 view of the mountains and valleys around, and of course the impressive fort and stone building around. It's a short hike up the hill from the highest parking lot, so don't be afraid to drive up the narrow (asphalt road, not dirt). On the way up you can also walk around the ancient village and enjoy some bars and restaurants, however most places seem closed or deserted.

Gorgeous, but be careful and dress yourself appropriate and good shoes for trecking. It's super beautiful and worthy it.

We went as a start of a loop walk. It's an interesting drive up to the ruin. There are restaurants just below the summit.

Great place and great views from top to the surrounding countryside. No ticket needed. Therr is shuttle bus from parming down in toen, or could better walk and do something for your wellbeing :-)

Great hike up to this castle with amazing views! Bit windy when we went, but kept us from overheating. So I'm the village of 4 people for a bite to eat and a drink. Lovely family!

really nice place, me and my friends visited in a Saturday. after a 1. 45 hour car ride from Pescara, we arrived. to get to the castle we then had to walk another thirty minutes. the entrance for visiting the inside of the castle is totally free, and the view from that is incredible. a little further down from the castle there is a church. for me the best time to visit rocca calascio is mid afternoon.

Stunning views, it was a bit chilly (April) and there was some snow. Me and my friend were surprised that there was a restaurant up there and a souvenirs store.

Beautiful castle with stunning views of the surrounding area. It’s more remote than you might think. Absolutely worth the hike up to be inside the castle itself. It’s incredible to climb around in this piece of history

A magnificent view near the castle!! Worth every step up there

Beautiful place. Try to be there just b4 sunset so that you enjoy sunset and see the castle ruins all lit up. Free to enter. There is a bit of an incline to arrive.

Beautiful castle remains! We went up a 45 minutes hike, easy to moderate level. There are many bars and souvenir shops on the way to the castle ruins. There is also a cathedral with historic significance. The views from up top are 100% worth the hike 📌

It's an amazing place. The hilltop commands stunning views on the surrounding hills and you can see the high peaks of Gran Sasso in the distance. Both times I went the sunset was amazing, with the red disk sinking over the mountains and casting shades of orange on the castle and the surroundings. I went up to the village just prior the castle with the car at 19:10, around the end of August.

Stunning scenery and definitely worth the effort. You can walk up the road to the top from a small village which takes about 40 mins, or you can cycle or drive up. Once up the top, you can continue walking along the mountain ridges or rest and take in the views. It wasn't too busy when I went, but that was a weekday, so I presume weekends will be rammed.

Beautiful castle on top of the mountain! Amazing view from up there, worth visiting! Even the path to this castle from Calascio is very nice with beautiful italian streets and restaurants and amazing landscapes on going up! 📍 Rocca Calascio, Italy

Relaxing- easy parking- plenty of shade

One of my favourite places in the world. The drive from Sulmona is so beautiful ❤️

❤Beautiful view on top,❤

One of the best lakes in Italy. Worth the hike to take this beautiful picture

Due to Covid, everything was closed but the lake itself is beautiful

Beautiful place. Nice drive to get there.

Beautiful place, great for a day trip and a hike. It's recommended to reach the top the see the heart shaped lake.

Few places to bath in but all in all is a beautiful and outstanding lake surrounded by the mountains. Water was not that cold and it was possible to get some relief during the hot day in July. There is a camping area and bars and shops to buy beverages, ice cream and usual cheap souvenirs. Trekking and biking path surrounding the lake and renting bike shops. Really worth for a visit both the lake and the town.

We went during a rainy day and it was a good chance to do something regardless the rain. The guide was not very passionate even if she answered to questions or so. But beautiful place to see the power of water and the nature 😊

Amazing place to see however we felt rushed through the whole visit. There is no time to properly look at the amazing caves, waterfalls and other formations hidden under the ground. The guide doesn't provide any descriptions in other languages than Italian so it would be useful to have access to an audio guide at least in English. Overall it is a must see place but there is a lot of room for improvements, to make the whole experience even more unforgettable.

Nice place, the guides could be better... caves are very young but characteristic, especially in winter, when the level of the water is high and the internal waterfalls are overflowing...

I went on the guided cave tour with a very informative guide. It was a little unclear that you had to get a bus up to the caves after buying your ticket but the trip was fine. The tickets were 10 euros and there is a nice shop and cafe in the ticket / parking area. Please note the tour is all in Italian but it all about the caves really!

A really beautiful site in one of the mountains of the area of Parco Naturale Regionale Sirente-Velino. It has a really scenic and gorgeous cave that you have to enter with a tour guide and pictures are generally permitted only in certain areas but as long as you’re not using flash in other areas you should be permitted. There is a restaurant just down the hill from the entrance otherwise the area is quite remote with a village nearby with more food & drink options. Recommend for everyone whether alone or in a family/ group. You have to book in advance however and can’t go without one. Bella Italia🇮🇹

Great idea for a half-day excursion. Our guide Alessandro was excellent and very kind. You need to be at the car park 45 mins before your slot as you have to wait for the shuttle bus etc. You need walking boots or trail shoes as it can be slippery. It wasn't very cold but a waterproof jacket is required. Helmets are provided and they are included in the ticket price.

This was a fun little tourist diversion for the family and I. We booked online in the morning which was pretty simple, we went for one of the later tours (about 5.30pm). There is some on street parking on the roads below the actual entrance area. You just park up, walk up to the cabin and show the PDF of your tickets before waiting for the guide to pick you up. There are a couple of little vending machines to grab a coffee or snacks. It is a guided tour so you are gathered up as a group, before being given a helmet and having the rules and safety explained. Note, this is a tour in Italian. Whilst the guide explained the safety is stuff in English, the rest of the tour was in Italian. This was fine with us, even thought we don’t speak great Italian, we should not expect them to do things differently as we were the only English on the tour. The guide was happy to answer the questions we had as we went around the caves though, in perfect English. The caves themselves are great, easy paths, nice lighting and atmospheric. There are only a couple of spots you are allowed to take photos which the guide will inform you about. We had an excellent time though, really cool. If anyone spots the lens cap to my Nikon FXC camera I there, let me know :) Highly recommended!

Beautiful cave with water falls 17 and 20 meters high!!! Amaaazing!!! On June 21st 2023 the tickets (12eu per person) were available at the booth at the entrance👍👍👍 You must enter with a guide👍 very good and easy paths👍 700meters to go and another 700 to come out. Temperature is about 10 celcius with 100% humidity so you must wear a vest. Very interesting to see the water falls, the water chanels, the stalagtites and stalagmites!!!👍😊👍😊 Pictures allowed only at the water falls.

One of the best caves systems I’ve seen and still only partially explored. A lot of WoW moments. Our wonderful and engaging tour guide Laura made the visit a memorable one.

This is definitely a place you have to visit if you find yourself in the area. Very easy to get here, preferably book your tickets online. Recommended for families with kids too. I do caving myself, but sometimes it is nice to see caves lightened and with a guide that can explain you the formation of these mother nature beauties. I have visited quite a few public ones but this is definitely special for the length it stretches and for the stream that cross the entire cave system for more than 4km. Only 700 meters of it are accessible to the public. Thank you so much Jusy, our guide, for taking us inside the earth and explaining the history of this caves.

This was a wonderful little tour for us. Our tour guide, Laura, was very informative and helpful - we apparently booked an Italian tour but don’t speak Italian so she translated everything for us! The whole tour took about an hour. Would definitely recommend making this a stop on on your vacation!

Very nice to see power of nature.. 55 degrees inside but was ok for me. It says for children but I don’t recommend especially for those that have to be carried…no strollers allowed.

Beautiful visit but the water/beach left a little something to be desired. The sea was pretty rough and the water had substantial debris, which was mostly organic (I only saw one tissue/piece of trash). Other than that, the walk to the beach alone is worth the visit on a sunny day. Amazing view of the sea, valley and mountains all in one horizon. Great stop for us as we drove up the coast and wanted to stop for a swim and a walk. Glad we saw it.

A small beauty spot with majestic stony beach and a bit of a cliff. We were very lucky to come across frogs mating season in the small pond on the beach. What a symphony of amphibians! I guess it was just some luck. There is a house on the jetty nearby, we'll visible from the cliff and breath views. Great spot for a picnic, perhaps, but not a toilet or drinking water in sight.

This place is a must visit while exploring the coast of Abruzzo. Nice viewpoints along the hike path. Steep steps going down to the beach. All natural, no shops etc so bring your own food and drinks...then just chill!

Beautiful place on the sea. We often visit here!!

If you go to Vasto, you have to see this place!!!

Wonderful sandy beach in Abruzzo

Unspoilt italian beach. Very nice sunset.
