Tours & Trails
Self-guided itineraries through Abruzzo's towns, walking trails and themed routes. Our complete 24 Hours in local guides, the multi-day Cammino dei Briganti, the Stanley Tucci trail, and more, written by people who actually live here.
When friends ask where to go in Abruzzo, the honest answer is rarely the obvious one. These are the routes I'd press into the hands of every visitor: a day in Sulmona that ends in the piazza, a slow trail through bandit country, an afternoon following the towns Stanley Tucci ate his way through. Each one walks you through, with the addresses I'd give a friend.
