Travel program

What will we see during the trip to ​Umbria? Let's find out!

1 Day: Perugia

In the morning departure from the chosen location. Meeting with ​the guide and departure by Gran Turismo coach towards Umbria ​and Perugia, the regional capital, a city of art and history, located ​in a splendid position between the Tiber Valley and Lake ​Trasimeno. Free lunch. Rise by minimetro to the fortress, the ​heart of the historic centre, enclosed by Etruscan and medieval ​walls. Guided tour of the city: the Palazzo dei Priori, now home to ​the Town Hall and the Umbrian National Gallery, the Fontana ​Maggiore, symbol of the city and a wonderful example of ​sculpture, created by the brothers Nicola and Giovanni Pisano in ​1280, the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, dating back in the mid-14th ​century. Visit to the Nobile Collegio del Cambio, ancient seat of ​bankers and money changers, a true treasure chest. In the ​Audience Hall there is a cycle of frescoes by Pietro Perugino, a ​masterpiece of the artist at the height of his career at the end of ​the fifteenth century. At the end of the visit, free time in the city ​center. We suggest a stop in one of the historic pastry shops of ​Perugia to taste one of the chocolate specialties or a visit to the ​Umbrian National Gallery inside the Palazzo dei Priori. Hotel ​accommodation. Dinner and overnight stay.

2 Day: Assisi

Breakfast at the hotel. In the morning departure for Assisi, ​listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site because "it houses a ​set of masterpieces of human creative genius". Each stone ​speaks of its most illustrious citizen, Saint Francis, Patron Saint ​of Italy. The visit, between art and spirituality, begins from the ​Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli which houses the ​"Porziuncola", the place where Saint Francis died: left ​abandoned for a long time, it was restored by Francis himself ​upon his return to Assisi at the end of 1207. Continue to the ​center where you will admire the Basilica of San Francesco with ​the tomb of the Saint and the splendid frescoes by Giotto and ​his School. Walking along the alleys you reach the Church of S. ​Chiara with the relics of the Saint and the wooden crucifix ​which, according to tradition, spoke to Saint Francis. Free ​lunch. In the afternoon, time available and the possibility of ​taking part in an excursion (optional and as a supplement) to ​San Damiano and the Hermitage of the Carceri, places of ​extraordinary beauty, where Saint Francis and his friars ​retreated in prayer and meditation. Dinner in a farmhouse to ​enjoy the flavors of Umbrian cuisine. Overnight stay.

3 Day:

Spello-Spoleto-Todi

Breakfast at the hotel. The day is dedicated to visiting some of the ​most beautiful cities in Umbria. First visit to Spello, an ancient ​medieval village on the slopes of Mount Subasio, among the most ​beautiful in Italy. Visit to the Baglioni Chapel inside the Collegiate ​Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, famous for a cycle of frescoes by ​Pinturicchio dating back to 1500 and the Deruta ceramic floors.

Continuation to Spoleto. Guided tour of the town: the Roman Theatre, ​Palazzo Mauri, the Church of Sant'Ansano and the Arch of Druso. Free ​lunch. In the afternoon we reach the Marmore Waterfall*, an incredibly ​evocative natural spectacle, listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. ​Praised over the centuries for its beauty, it appears like a roaring ​column of water distributed over three drops of over 165 meters in ​height (only for the departure on November 2nd). Walk along one of the ​park's paths. In the evening return to the hotel. Dinner and overnight ​stay.

From November 2023 to March 2024 the visit to the Marmore Falls will ​be replaced by the visit to Todi, a town with a medieval appearance, ​surrounded by mighty walls. You will admire the central Piazza del ​Popolo, surrounded by imposing buildings such as the Cathedral, the ​Palazzo del Popolo, the Palazzo del Capitano and the Palazzo dei Priori.
