SOUTHERN/CENTRE UMBRIA
In Umbria, a region that has gained a name for being the green
heart of Italy, tourism is growing because of the unfamiliar
harmony between nature, antiquities, historic centres and
culture. The quiet of the countryside, good provisions and an
inimitable cuisine are the great draw. This region is less
touristy than Tuscany and this is especially appreciated by
many tourists.
Southern/centre Umbria
forms an ideal starting point for enjoying the peace of the
surrounding hilly and mountainous landscape and on the other
hand making trips to beautifull towns like Todi, Orvieto, Narni,
Spoleto, Perugia, Gubbio, Assisi. There are also numerous
charming little villages many of medieval origin - as Amelia,
Labro, Spello, Norcia, Bevagna, Montefalco to visit. In many
towns and villages you can taste local dishes or buy local wines
and olive oil (generally of excellent quality). You can also
easily visit in day trips - famous towns and charming villages
in the southern part of Tuscany such as Siena, Arezzo, San
Giminiano, Pienza, Cortona, Sinalunga, etc. Many tourists visit
also Rome from here (without staying in the city which is very
hot in summer) once or more times. It is possible to go by car
(journey of 1h-1h30) or by train from the stations of: Terni,
Narni-Amelia, Orte & Orvieto.
We
must not forget the mountains with some splendid woods, e.g.
Terminillo (up to 2000 metres by car). In around 1 hour it is
possible to reach the shimmering lakes of Bracciano, Vico,
Piediluco, Bolsena and Trasimeno. The Mediterranean Sea (mostly
sand beaches) situated between Tarquinia and Chiarone are 90-120
Kms away (around 1h20-1h40 driving). Near the city of Terni you
can also visit the Marmore falls (165 meters, one of the highest
of Europe), there is nearby also a rafting/canoeing/hydrospeed
center. |
