Things to do in  Abruzzo

Abruzzo’s surf-and-turf topography stretches from the beach resorts along the Adriatic coastline to the snow-blanketed peaks of the Gran Sasso and Laga Mountains National Park. Between these two extremes lies a grand swathe of rolling countryside dotted with historic hill towns, medieval castles, olive oil farms, and wineries. Hiking and biking excursions through the mountains and along the Costa dei Trabocchi top the to-do list in this region, alongside wine and olive oil tastings, cooking classes and food tours, and visits to villages and citadels that seem frozen in time.
