Umbria, with its olive groves and gently rolling, vine-covered hills, is the green heart of Italy. Here, Italian tradition, art and history belong to everyday life. Cities such as Perugia, Assisi, Orvieto, Gubbio, Spello and Todi transfer the visitor back to the Renaissance or the Middle Ages. In the countryside one often unexpectedly stumbles across grandiose Etruscan graves, Roman bridges or ancient ruins. The landscape is full of diversity, whether its charming and cheerful, or rough and ready. Sampling the excellent cuisine and famous Umbrian wines should not be missed.
