Umbria

Everchanging, untouched landscapes in the green of winding valleys make Umbria a region that will never fail to amaze. It includes Lake Trasimeno, central Italy’s largest lake. The area still has the remains of Etruscan settlements. The charm of Umbria derives from its fusion of art, nature, peace and calm, the inspirations behind its various localities that comprise Renaissance masterpieces and small Medieval towns embedded in the hills such as Assisi and Gubbio. Then Spoleto, a picturesque town that boasts a thousand-year-old history, still preserves images from the past in its Medieval and Renaissance architecture.

Discover the Countryside of Umbria on Walking Tours of Italy

Umbria is a region in Central Italy that is renowned for its green, rolling hills. While Umbria has no coastline, it is home to Lake Trasimeno, the River Tiber, and the cascading Marmore Falls; the tallest manmade waterfall in the world! Umbria boasts many lovely cities that are a must-see when you travel to Italy, such as Assisi, and the region’s capital, Perugia. However, many Umbrian towns are much smaller, like Torgiano which is famous for its olive oil museum, and Deruta, known for its ceramics.

Walk the Umbria Countryside with an Italy Holiday Tour

But most of all, Umbria is known for its gorgeous countryside, and the best way to see the natural beauty of the region is to take a walking tour of Italy. The 70km walk from Assisi to Spoleto is highly recommended, as there is stunning scenery to enjoy on the way. When you reach the end, there’s a real treat in store in Spoleto, which is a fantastic destination. There is much to do here, including a visit to the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, the Roman theatre, and the city museum in the Palazzo della Signoria.
