Exploring Umbria
Cesena
Assisi and Spoleto, Umbria’s loveliest towns, are the
most convenient bases for exploring the region. A
Both these medieval gems are unmissable, as is the San Giustino p p
old centre of Perugia, the region’s capital, and the e
hill-towns of Orvieto, Gubbio, Spello, Montefalco Tevere Fraccano n Pésaro
and Todi. Umbria’s landscapes are just as compelling, n i
from the eerie wastes of the Piano Grande and the Città di Pietralunga n
