About the destination

Umbria, often called the “green heart of Italy,” is a landlocked region of rolling hills, olive groves, and ancient hill towns that feels timeless yet welcoming. Less crowded than neighboring Tuscany, it offers a more intimate slice of Italian life, where medieval stone villages are framed by vineyards and forests, and church bells punctuate the quiet rhythm of the countryside. It’s an ideal destination if you’re looking for authentic charm, slow travel, and landscapes that seem pulled from a Renaissance painting. Perugia, the regional capital, blends university-town energy with a beautifully preserved historic center. Stroll through its cobbled streets, explore underground Etruscan remains, and linger in cafés along Corso Vannucci with a gelato or a cup of rich Italian coffee. The city is also famous for its chocolate, celebrated every October during Eurochocolate, when the streets fill with stalls, tastings, and sweet aromas. Beyond Perugia, smaller towns reveal Umbria’s soul. Assisi, birthplace of St. Francis, is a spiritual and artistic treasure, dominated by the magnificent Basilica of San Francesco with its Giotto frescoes. Spello’s flower-lined alleys, Gubbio’s dramatic stone palaces, and Orvieto’s clifftop position and dazzling cathedral each offer a different facet of Umbrian history and culture. Renting a car makes it easy to hop between towns, but trains and buses connect many of the main sights. Nature lovers will find plenty to explore. The Sibillini Mountains and Monte Subasio invite hiking and cycling, while Lake Trasimeno is perfect for relaxed days on the water, boat trips to small islands, and leisurely lakeside lunches. Wherever you go, food is central to the experience: try truffle-based dishes, hearty lentil soups from Castelluccio, local pecorino cheese, and full-bodied Umbrian wines like Sagrantino di Montefalco. In Umbria, the pleasures are simple but profound—good food, beautiful views, and a sense of peace that lingers long after you’ve left.
