The iconic blue-domed mosque is one of the country's most recognisable attractions, a place of worship as much as a national landmark and even somewhat of a museum: a few archaeological finds and personal items of King Abdullah, who inaugurated the mosque, are also displayed here. Unlike at most other mosques, non-Muslim visitors are welcome inside, provided they follow the rules of attendance.

Amman's Children's Museum is surprisingly delightful. There are plenty of interactive exhibits allowing the young ones to get a hands-on approach to learning about the world, from the inner workings of the human digestive system to the mechanics of a car. Adults will enjoy continuing on to the Royal Automobile Museum next door.

Many of the most popular museums and attractions are situated on the island of Djurgården, which is also part of the Royal National City Park. This picturesque island provides an ideal setting for leisurely strolls, invigorating jogs, scenic cycling routes and paddling adventures, as well as a lovely spot for a picnic. In addition, Djurgården has loads of restaurants and sightseeing options. If you're travelling with children, Djurgården is a must: here you'll find the city's best attractions for children, all within walking distance of one another.

A small natural reserve and park located in the south of the city, more commonly referred to by locals as Parco D'Avalos. The citizens of Pescara love to take advantage of the vast green space and can often be seen jogging along the numerous paths or resting in the grass, admiring the swans and turtles.
