Molitour Incoming Tour Operator, Tour Operator of Molise, offers a wonderful and little-known territory, which we like to call “a small treasure chest full of great beauty.”

More and more tourists, in fact, are discovering the extraordinary historical, archaeological and environmental heritage of the Molise Region.

The New York Times picks Molise, Sicily and Urbino as Italian destinations to visit. The three destinations have been included in the “52 Places to go” list. The new entry is Molise, an area rich in history, archaeological finds, traditional festivals and unspoiled landscapes. The New York Times places Molise at number 37 out of 52 in its special ranking of places to visit in the world.

Molitour Incoming Tour Operator, through a careful organization and networking of local tourist services, proposes, in collaboration with national and international tour operators, tourist packages, shopping tours, itineraries and excursions, related to the peculiarities of the territory, historical, archaeological, environmental emergencies, school tourism, experiential, roots or return, religious and third age.

Among the area’s extraordinary resources, examples include but are not limited to:
the National Museum of the Paleolithic in Isernia (the oldest human encampment in Europe), the archaeological site of “Altilia” and the many Samnite and Roman emergencies, Isernia (which boasts the record of having been the first capital of Italy with the Italic League in ’90 b. c.), the Abbey of San Vincenzo al Volturno (one of the largest early medieval – Carolingian – monasteries in the entire West), the Italic Temple Theater of Pietrabbondante (2nd – 1st cent. b.c. ), the many medieval villages of Molise (which are members of the Association of “The Most Beautiful Villages of Italy”), the Minor Basilica of Our Lady of Sorrows in Castelpetroso and the many churches of Molise, museums, the Pandone Castle in Venafro, the Monforte Castle in Campobasso and the approximately two hundred, including castles and strongholds, found throughout the region, the “Tratturi” (recently included by UNESCO in the intangible heritage of humanity), the Molise coastline with its 35 km of low, sandy coastline, the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park and the extraordinary Matese and Mainarde mountains, the MAB (Unesco man and biosphere) nature reserves of Collemeluccio and Monte di Mezzo, the lakes and the many marvelous waterfalls, the thousand-year-old bells of Agnone, scissor and knife making in Frosolone, bagpipes in Scapoli, lace-making in Isernia and all the local handicrafts.

Also emphasized in the tourism packages is Molise’s strategic geographic location, proximity to the sea (Adriatic and Tyrrhenian) and mountains (Capracotta, Campitello Matese and Roccaraso), the major Cities of Rome and Naples (and their airports), proximity to Vatican City (St. Peter’s Basilica), San Giovanni Rotondo (St. Pio of Pietrelcina) and the archaeological excavations of Pompeii and Ercolano.

The tourist offer also includes the enhancement of the area’s eno-gastronomic peculiarities (the wines of lower Molise, the typical cheeses and cold cuts of upper Molise, the Molise truffle, the white onion of Isernia, etc. ) and the promotion of events related to local art and traditions (the Mysteries of Campobasso, the Carresi of San Martino in Pensilis, the Deer Man and other zoomorphic masks of the carnivals of Molise, the Oratino Fault, the ‘Ndocciata of Agnone, auteur theater, concerts and the various events of the Molise Cultura Foundation).

Landscape lovers will also be able to ride the Carpinone-Sulmona railroad, nicknamed the Trans-Siberian Railway of Italy.
