Easily accessible from Rome or Florence, the region is famous for its gastronomy and cultural treasures. Self-styled the green heart of Italy, the landlocked region of Umbria is known for its truffles and olive oil, roast pork and sausages, wine and cheese.
It also has great cultural treasures, many of them in mountain cities such as Orvieto, Perugia and Assisi. It is possible to admire the magnificent reliefs and mosaics of the façade of the medieval cathedral of Orvieto, see the amazing frescoes by Giotto in the basilica of St. Francis of Assisi (first glimpses of Renaissance art) and explore the National Gallery of Umbria in Perugia, with works of the thirteenth century.
