In Umbria, also known as the green heart of Italy, tourism is on the rise because of the unprecedented harmony between nature, antiquities, historic centers and culture. Rural tranquility, good facilities, an inimitable kitchen are the main attraction. The region is less touristy than Tuscany and this is a plus for most people who come on holiday to this region.
The region is easily accessible by people who come by plane, the nearest airports are Perugia and Rome. It is an ideal starting point to enjoy the tranquility of the surrounding hills and mountains and to make at least 40 trips by car to beautiful cities such as Todi, Orvieto, Narni, Spoleto, Viterbo (15 to 40 minutes) or Perugia, Gubbio, Spello, Assisi, Tuscania and Tarquinia on the coast with a magnificent small museum of Etruscan art and Etruscan tombs with 2300 year old frescoes (60-75 min.) or a little further north the Etruscan city remains in Volci. In addition, in the more immediate area there are numerous charming - originally medieval - villages that are increasingly being restored for weekend and summer tourism: San Restituta, Civita di Bagnoreggio, Lugnano, Stroncone, Labro (max. 40 min), Montefranco, Arrone, etc. Nearby are the extensive remains of the Roman city of Carsulae. You can also easily visit places in southern Tuscany by car such as Siena, San Giminiano, Pienza, Cortona, Sinalunga, etc. Many tourists visit Rome one or more times, by car or by train from the stations Terni, Narni-Amelia, Orte and Orvieto .
And don't forget the mountains with sometimes beautiful forests, such as Terminillo (up to 2000 meters by car). You can also reach the beautiful lakes of Bracciano, Vico, Piediluco, Bolsena and Trasimeno in 30 to 60 minutes; with boat trips on both last lakes to the islands. The Mediterranean Sea and the sandy beaches between Tarquinia and Chiarone are about 90 km away (1h20 drive). Near the town of Terni it is also possible to visit the Marmore waterfall (this can be turned on and off due to a reservoir), near the waterfall there is a rafting/canoeing/hyrdospeed center.
