Itineraries in Molise

What to see in a trip to Molise

The Molise is probably the least known and less visited region of Italy, and someone is even asked if it really exists, but, in reality, there is so much to see on a weekend or even in a week of vacation. Beyond the tormenters on social media on the existence of this region, in fact, the Molise, close between Abruzzo, Puglia and Campania, offers tourists both the sea of the Adriatic coast , both the mountains of the Apennines , both many beautiful villages.
A trip itinerary here does not take a long time because Molise is the second smallest region of Italy, after the Valle d'Aosta, as well as the youngest , since until 1970 it was formally united with Abruzzo. There are still many places to see.

The capital is campobasso , where you can spend a few hours to see the historic center. Perched on a hill, it offers beautiful views, particularly from the Monforte Castle that dominates the city.
Isernia is a city with a long history and with an interesting historic center. Not far away, panoramically positioned on a hill, there is the village of Venafro , classified in the list of the most beautiful villages in Italy, also thanks to the splendid Castello di Pandone .

Termoli is the main city on the sea of Molise and its citadel surrounded by walls overlooks the Adriatic. The nearby beaches are a great attraction in summer, but Molise is also a mountain region. The Apennines in fact exceed 2000 meters and the green of the pristine molisan forests is contrasted, in winter, from the white of often heavy snowfall.
An original way to explore the Molise is to cover their tratturi, Narrow streets and grass crossing the molise countryside. A travel itinerary on the tratturi allows you to touch characteristic villages and to admire the beautiful landscapes of the hinterland.
