TRAVEL TIPS
You are probably aware that in 2009 L’Aquila was hit by a destructive earthquake, the consequences of which are still evident. L’Aquila is very safe in terms of security, but walking around downtown may present barriers and the atmosphere can sometimes become creepy.
We apologize for any inconvenience and hope you will understand.
