Umbria, often called the "green heart of Italy," is a region rich in history, art, spirituality, and natural beauty. Here are some of the most interesting things to do and see:

Cities of Art:

• Assisi: The birthplace of Saint Francis, a place of profound spirituality and peace. Visit the Basilica of Saint Francis, with its splendid frescoes by Giotto and Cimabue, the Basilica of Saint Clare, and stroll through the medieval streets.
• Perugia: The Umbrian capital, with a fascinating Etruscan and medieval history. Explore the historic center with Piazza IV Novembre, the Fontana Maggiore, the Palazzo dei Priori (home to the National Gallery of Umbria), and the Etruscan Arch. Don't miss the opportunity to taste the famous Perugian chocolate.
• Gubbio: A beautifully preserved medieval city, famous for the Palazzo dei Consoli, the Duomo, and the Corsa dei Ceri festival (held on May 15th). Take the cable car up Mount Ingino to admire the city from above and visit the Basilica of Sant'Ubaldo.
• Orvieto: Situated on a spectacular tufa cliff, Orvieto is famous for its magnificent Duomo, a masterpiece of Italian Gothic architecture. Also visit St. Patrick's Well (Pozzo di San Patrizio), an extraordinary work of hydraulic engineering.
• Spoleto: A city rich in history with an imposing Duomo, the Rocca Albornoziana (which offers a panoramic view of the valley), and the striking Ponte delle Torri, an ancient Roman aqueduct. Spoleto is also home to the famous Festival dei Due Mondi (Festival of Two Worlds).
• Todi: A charming medieval town with a splendid Piazza del Popolo, considered one of the most beautiful in Italy. Visit the Duomo, the Palazzo del Capitano, and the Palazzo dei Priori.

Natural Beauties:

• Marmore Falls: One of Europe's tallest artificial waterfalls, an impressive natural spectacle. You can visit it and admire its various openings.
