A unique experience is provided by the splendid city of Orvieto, where you will be enchanted by the magnificent mosaics and delicate carvings that embellish the architectural wonder that is the Orvieto Duomo.

Or even, the fantastic town of Gubbio, where to discover the grandeur of the Piazza Grande, visit the Palazzo dei Consoli and ride the Funivia Colle Eletto, a cable car for unforgettable views of the surrounding landscape. Experience the Corsa dei Ceri, a traditional race held annually in May.

And, if visiting in June, Attend the Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto: experience the renowned festival that brings music, theatre, and dance performances to various historic venues. Immerse yourself in the cultural richness and artistic atmosphere of this international event.

And for the ones looking to explore the spectacular and raw natural beauties of Umbria, we recommend visiting the Marmore Falls, located near the town of Terni, a magnificent natural wonder that commands attention. Cascading over three tiers, it is one of the tallest waterfalls in Europe. Created by the ancient Romans, the falls offer a stunning spectacle of rushing waters amidst lush greenery.

Another must-visit is surely Lake Trasimeno, the biggest lake in central Italy, a tranquil oasis nestled amidst the picturesque Umbrian hills. With its shimmering waters, charming lakeside towns, and surrounding vineyards, the lake exudes a sense of calm and serenity, where to relax on its sandy beaches.

Umbrian gastronomy is a delightful blend of rustic flavours, locally sourced ingredients, and traditional recipes. Umbrian gastronomy offers a true taste of the region's rich culinary heritage.

In Umbria, some staple foods are Strangozzi al Tartufo, a dish that highlights Umbria's renowned truffle production and is a true delicacy for truffle lovers, or, Cinghiale in Umido, a hearty stew made from wild boar, a common game meat in the region. Again, make sure to try Porchetta, a classic Italian dish that originated in Umbria. It features a whole pig that is seasoned with herbs, garlic, and spices, then slowly roasted until the meat is tender and the skin becomes crispy.

Also, Umbrian desserts showcase a combination of simple, yet high-quality ingredients, traditional recipes, and a touch of regional flair. An example is Torta al Testo Dolce, a cake-like bread made with ingredients such as flour, sugar, eggs, and butter, and flavoured with lemon zest or other aromatic elements, or St. Francis Biscuits, almond-based cookies with a crumbly texture. Lastly, the most famous Umbrian dessert is Strufoli, deep-fried dough balls that are golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They are traditionally coated in honey or caramelized sugar.
