How to get to Pescara

✈️ By plane

Pescara (Abruzzo Airport) has direct connections with several European
countries such as Albania, Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Malta,
Poland, Romania, Spain, United Kingdom, with some seasonal variations.
From outside Europe, the easiest options are flying to Rome and taking
a direct bus from Fiumicino airport, or flying to Milan and continuing
by domestic flight or train.

🚆 By train
Pescara is well connected with fast trains to Bologna, Milan, Turin,
Venice, Bari, Lecce, and Bolzano, as well as direct routes from Rome.
From abroad, you can directly reach Milan or Bologna by train from
countries like France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany then continue to
Pescara.
There is also a historic railway between Rome and Pescara, slower but
very scenic through the mountains.

🚌 By bus
There are frequent long-distance bus connections, including direct
routes from Rome and Fiumicino airport, as well as other Italian
cities.

🚗 By car
Pescara is easy to reach via the highway network, including a direct
motorway to Rome. Renting a car can also be a good option to explore
the area.
