Visit Umbria

Umbria is a land-locked region in the heart of central Italy, between Tuscany to the west and Le Le Marche to the east.

The capital of the region, Perugia, is centrally placed, and the ancient city of Spoleto is well located for exploring the southern part of Umbria.To the north-west of the region, Lake Trasimeno (and the village of Castiglione del Lago) is an attractive destination

The axis that passes down through the centre of Umbria from Perugia to Spoleto via Assisi passes the ancient town of Foligno and some attractive villages en-route, including Gubbio to the north and Spello and Montefalco further south. Trevi and Bevagna should also be high on your list of attractive villages in this region.

Head to the east for the fine mountain scenery of Monti Sibillini, being sure to stop off to explore Norcia on the way. The scenery of the Valnerina region is equally enticing - more rolling than mountainous, and very worthy of being explored.

Near the western border of Umbria be sure to visit Citta della Pieve, above all for the artworks of Perugino. To the south be sure to also visit the traditional medieval town of Narni.

Lastly, travel to the south-west of Umbria, for the pretty town of Todi and the splendid cathedral at Orvieto.
