Interest
Vieste is a real tourist city, it has always been, since the 70s, when German tourists fell en masse, after a drastic drop in the 90s, Vieste has been discovered today by tourists from Eastern Europe. The greatest attraction is undoubtedly the sea: beautiful beaches, coves to be discovered, crystal clear water and the incredible breathtaking landscapes of the Gargano. But even the historic center of Vieste, too often ignored by tourists, deserves attention.
