Pescara by car
Pescara was stitched together from two towns facing each other over a river mouth, which gave it wide boulevards instead of alleys. The Abruzzo mountains rise just inland, so skiing and swimming can share one afternoon.
Driving in Pescara
Pescara is reached by A14, A25 and SS16 Adriatica. The centre of Pescara is closed to through traffic. Parking in the centre is paid and marked by zone. Driving through the centre is restricted, so most drivers park on the edge.
Arriving by road
The A14 between Bologna and Taranto and the A25 from Torano cross the area between Pescara and Chieti and tie into the local bypass roads; the drive in from Rome over the mountains passes many tunnels and bridges. In the centre, the shopping rectangle formed by Via Nicola Fabrizi, Corso Vittorio Emanuele II and Corso Umberto I lies inside a driving restriction zone.
From the airport without a car
Bus 38 leaves from the terminal of Pescara’s Abruzzo Airport for central Pescara, and on the way back it departs from Pescara’s railway station. Tickets come from a vending machine in the arrivals area of the terminal.

Frequently asked questions
Italy: which side of the road do they drive on?
On the right. Speed limits are posted at the roadside and differ between towns, open roads and motorways.
Which currency will I be charged in?
Prices are usually set in EUR. The rental company sets both the price and the deposit, and shows them before you book.
Can I drive the car into another country?
Often yes within the EU, but never assume it. Crossing a border has to be allowed by the rental company and usually costs extra, so check the terms before you book.
Is there a low-emission zone in Pescara?
The centre of Pescara is closed to through traffic rather than filtered by emissions.
Where do I park in the centre of Pescara?

Do I need an International Driving Permit?
