Most of us know Tuscany, but it's close neighbor of Umbria, has a number of historical towns and beautiful country sides. Umbria is also easy to reach and very easy to navigate. All of the towns of Umbria are relatively small, however there are many Roman remains, world-class museums, and various festivals throughout the year. Umbria produces fine wine, olives, wheat, and tobacco. Umbria is literally in the heart of Italy, the only landlocked Italian region, with Tuscany to the west, Le Marche to its east, and Lazio to the south. To the north and south we have Emilia-Romagna and Abruzzo. The main towns in Umbria are Perugia (the regional capital), Terni, Foligno, Citta di Castello, Spoleto, Gubbio, Assisi, Orvieto, Bastia Umbria, and Narni. If you've been to Tuscany, Florence and Siena, you'll find that this region has an unchanged beauty. Umbria has unspoiled medieval treasures for the modern visitor to discover. LEARN MORE
