Italy's Green Heart
Umbria has been called “Italy’s Green Heart.” Umbria is a land unto itself, the only Italian region that borders neither the sea nor another country.
Travel here and you’ll still see grandmothers in aprons making pasta by hand and front doors that haven’t been locked in centuries.
Just perfect for:
whether you’re looking for a spiritual escape in ever-popular Perugia, or you’d prefer the quieter slow life of Narni, Umbria truly has it all.
Not the best choice for:
those who doesn’t like rural countryside
When to Visit:
The best time to visit Umbria is really in the quieter part of the season, from April to June and from September to October when weather is usually good, prices a bit lower and there are “fewer” tourists to crowd the main sights.
Marmore Falls is one of the tallest human made waterfalls in the world.
The Marmore Waterfalls can be visited along five trekking routes, catering to different fitness levels, but bear in mind that the water is only released at set times.
These include Assisi, the church of San Damiano, L’eremo delle Carceri, the Santuary of Rivotorto and its historical landscape, the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli and Palazzo del Capitano, the church of San Salvatore in Spoleto and the Tempietto del Clitunno.
We suggest you visit these significant sites as they will be one of the highlights of your trip.
Lake Trasimeno is a beautiful lake situated in the region of Umbria.
It is surrounded by atmospheric castles and charming medieval towns including Passignano and Castiglione del Lago. Small but unique vineyards also line the lake and are a fantastic find for some special wines that can only be produced in the microclimate of the lake.
