Teramo – The Hidden Gem of Abruzzo at the Foot of the Apennines
Teramo is the vibrant capital of the Abruzzo region and one of its oldest cities. Ideally positioned between the Apennine Mountains and the Adriatic Sea, it offers easy access to nature, culture, and coastline adventures. The heart of the city beats around Piazza Martiri, where cafés and gelaterias fill with cheerful chatter — Teramo is a place where the Italian art of enjoying life feels truly authentic.
History is present at every corner. The remains of a Roman amphitheater and archaeological excavations reveal stories of ancient Interamna, while the city’s pride, the stunning 12th-century Teramo Cathedral, invites visitors into a world of medieval architecture and artistic treasures. Wandering through the narrow streets of the historic center, you can feel the footsteps of generations past — all while the youthful energy of the modern university city brings life and color to the scene.
Teramo is also a delight for food lovers. The local cuisine blends rustic traditions with fresh, high-quality ingredients: from the comforting scrippelle ‘mbusse (thin crepes served in broth) to the iconic maccheroni alla chitarra and flavorful lamb dishes typical of Abruzzo. Wine enthusiasts will find their paradise in the surrounding hills, home to renowned Montepulciano d’Abruzzo and Trebbiano d’Abruzzo wines — as well as excellent olive oils and artisanal cheeses.
For nature enthusiasts, Teramo is an ideal base. The Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park begins just outside the city, offering hiking trails, dramatic mountain landscapes, authentic hilltop villages, and even skiing in winter. Head the other direction, and the Adriatic coastline awaits with sandy beaches and lively seaside promenades. Teramo beautifully combines culture, history, and nature — offering travelers a genuine taste of the fascinating soul of Central Italy.
