About L'Aquila
L'Aquila rewards travellers who look past its earthquake scars: a compact medieval grid of arcaded streets, churches and piazzas, ringed by the mountains and high plateaus of Abruzzo. Walking its centre with a local guide is the fastest way in, whether you join the L'Aquila of the Mysteries: Walking Tour for legends and hidden corners or the Historic L'Aquila Guided Tour for the main monuments. Beyond the city, the surrounding villages and castles — Calascio, Santo Stefano di Sessanio, the Aterno valley — are close enough for a half-day trip.

Frequently asked questions
Book ahead for anything outside the city — Calascio castle tours, night walks and e-bike rides run with small groups and limited departures, so weekends and summer dates fill first. City walking tours in L'Aquila are easier to join at short notice, but booking a day or two ahead secures your preferred language and time slot.
