Our first visit, and my parents second. I was impressed with the layout and cleanliness of the outlet. There was lots of choice of stores with many well know brands. I thought the prices were comparable with the UK but there were some bargains to be had.
The Lindt chocolate store is a must visit, the icecreams from there are absolutely delicious! Free parking and good opening hours too.

From our charming Hotel Alba, we walked 600m northeast along the main pedestrian Corso Umberto I to the wide sandy beach then followed it’s pedestrian walk/bikeway 1.4 km southeast to this bridge.
From 2009, the architecture is unique in structure, as is its division into diverging bridge segments for pedestrians and bicycles. We joined scores of others on its gentle slope to the high point where we were positioned perfectly with the afternoon sun to take photos of the Beaches in both directions, fishing boats below in Pescara’s river, and long views out to the blue Adriatic Sea.
People of all ages(and families) were enjoying the pleasant environment and getting some exercise in this beautiful setting.

5. Aurum - La Fabbrica delle Idee

Reviewed By Brun066 - Florence, Italy
In a city whose history is unusually short by Italian standards, as is Pescara, this building is certainly one of the main attractions.
One reason for its interest is, that it's the work of two well-known architects. The first one is Antonio Liberi, brother-in-law of the Pescara-born poet Gabriele D'Annunzio; by his achievements in Art Nouveau style (including the facade of this building) he has strongly contributed to create - between the between the eighties of the XIXth century and the twenties of the XXth century - the architectural face of the city. The second one, the author of the horseshoe-shaped expansion project (1938), is an architect of European fame (among other things, the project for "Santa Maria Novella" railway station in Florence is due to him): Giovanni Michelucci.
Another reason for interest is the "thick" history of the building: from meeting builiding for the high Pescara society (when it took the evocative name "Kursaal"), to factory for production of a famous local liqueur (indeed called "Aurum"), up to its present function, of cultural center: venue for Exhibitions, for performing arts, congress center, etc. (what could happen after the acquisition by the Pescara Municipality and a careful restoration).
A visit to the many halls will take you little time and will result in a pleasant experience. It's also possible that you can visit one of the Exhibitions that take place frequently here.
"Aurum" can be easily reached from the center of Pescara and from the railway station by the #21 bus.

If you are in Montesilvano, you are most likely here for the Beaches... but what can you do on a rainy day? Porto Allegro features a large multiplex cinema (just Italian films though) , several shops, a bookshop, a supermarket, restaurants, bars and also an arcade game place - you can find some kind of entertainment at least to spend the day.
8. Museo delle Genti d'Abruzzo
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 129 reviews
The museum follows the story of mankind in Abruzzo, from man's first appearance as a Palaeolithic hunter. It highlights the contribution made by 9 italic tribes from Abruzzo and Molise to the making of Rome, thus giving the name "Italy" to the entire peninsula. A brief summary illustrates how much of their past has been handed down to us in terms of customs, beliefs, places of worship, products, objects, manners. The central theme of the museum, organized into 16 huge display rooms, is the concept of continuity, everlasting culture, illustrated via a fascinating, educational exhibition, equipped with multimedia facilities and digitally assisted audio guide available in many languages. The museum, is one of the most original and innovative within the field of Antropology in Italy. The Museum of the Abruzzi People is located in the historical centre of Pescara, inside the old Bourbon barracks building. The floor where the permanent collection is housed was built as barracks in the 18th Century, on the basement that belonged to Pescara's 15th Century fortress.

It's a shopping centre...what more can you say?
On a hot day it's great to get out of the overbearing heat and wander around the air conditioned shops. There is a food area that offers a good selection at a reasonable price (high chairs available for those with small children).
I'd recommend the underground car parking as well to keep your car from overheating.
