Umbria is a mountainous terrain rich with woods and streams, a jewel of a region with ancient medieval villages and towns rich in history, art and devotion. Assisi is undoubtedly the most well known by tourists to Umbria. Thousands of religious and secular tourists visit St Francis’ medieval basilica every year, where Giotto’s majestic frescoes and the welcoming atmosphere, give the whole city an enchanting air. The provinces of Umbria are: Terni, a modern city and industrial centre and Perugia, a city rich in history and tradition that bears witness to a glorious past and the passing of diverse invasions. An important and very pleasurable yearly event is the Euro Chocolate that takes place every October in honour of the most typical product of this land: chocolate.
Another opportunity for getting together and a meeting place for many young people from all over the world is the Umbria Jazz Festival in Spoleto. This city offers not only good music, but also the chance to see an old medieval town centre that is one of a kind. Similarly interesting small Umbrian towns are: Gubbio, Spello and Foligno.
For nature lovers and health enthusiasts we would recommend Umbria’s many thermal spas, especially Acquasparta, Città di Castello, Massa Martana and the famous San Gemini.
Finally we would like to mention the ‘cascate delle Marmore’, beautiful waterfalls in a wonderfully uncontaminated setting that attract thousands of sport enthusiasts every year.
Umbria welcomes thousands of guests every year and offers a wide and varied range of accommodation choices. Hotels, guest houses, rooms-to-let, self catering apartments and holiday resorts are available all over Umbria.
