If you look at the map of Abruzzo you will be able to see that it is not too far from the world famous city of Rome. In fact the state of Abruzzo lies only 70 miles east of Rome and it is bordered by Marche on the northern side, where as Lazio is located on its south western side, Molise to the south eastern end and finally the vast Adriatic Sea situated to its east end.

Now should one happen to study the map of Abruzzo more carefully, it would be interesting to notice that like mentioned earlier it is geographically situated in the central region of Italy.  However the Italian statistical authority considers it to be a part of the southern region of the country.

The map of Abruzzo will go on to show that the regional capital of Abruzzo is the beautiful city of L’Aquila. This is the largest of the other three provinces that make up the state of Abruzzo. Teramo is another province that adds to Abruzzo’s tourism, Chieti is the most populated and attracts many according to Abruzzo travel statistics. And of course Pescara, which happens to be the main economic centre of Abruzzo.
