Umbria (/ˈʌmbriə/ UM-bree-ə; Italian pronunciation: [ˈumbrja]), is one of the twenty regions of Italy, located in central Italy. It is the only Italian region having neither a coastline nor a border with other countries. It includes the Lake Trasimeno, Marmore's Falls, and is crossed by the River Tiber. The regional capital is Perugia. Umbria is known for its landscapes, traditions, history, culinary delights, artistic legacy, and influence on culture.

Balloon Adventures Italy

Arguably the most beautiful balloon flight in the world right in the heart of Umbria. We take off in sight of one of Italy's most revered location: Assisi. Flights are in the morning to take advantage of the cool and calm air. Prosecco and an Umbrian style breakfast after the flight is also part of the fun. Transportation from your accommodation can be provided on request.

Wild Foods Italy

Truffle hunting in the beautiful Umbrian hills, an unforgettable culinary experience, a day spent in the company of colorful locals, a stroll through some stunning countryside... The Wild Foods Gastronomical Adventure is a piece of Italy you will never forget. You spend a day immersed in authentic traditional Italian company, culture and cuisine. You hunt truffles, cook truffles, eat truffles, as well as get to experience an amazing part of Italy far away from the usual tourist trails. You also experience some traditional 'wild' cuisine, maybe wild boar stew, sauteed hare, or roast guinea fowl. It's great for foodies and wine-lovers, or for anyone just wanting to immerse themselves in the landscape, people and culture of Umbria.

Ponte delle Torri

Built in 1350 AD to create an easy access road to Montelucco, this stately bridge is 264 feet high and 760 feet long, and features nine tall pylons that separate its narrow graceful arches.

Spoleto was a great visit, starting with the escalators which allowed easy access to main areas of the city by avoiding steep uphill walks. What a fantastic system! Took the escalators to the central part of the city for awesome paninis and local vino, and then to the main attractions. After reaching the castle (La Rocca) we soaked in the spectacular views of the incredible Ponte delle Torri and the surrounding areas. Did not walk to it but I think that you can actually walk thru the Ponte across the canyon to the other side.Such an impressive structure that has lasted centuries, a must see!

Cascata delle Marmore

Reviewed By joclaxton74

This is a must see if in the Umbria region. It is a marvel of Roman engineering and totally beautiful. The falls are visible all the time but if you want the best experience, check the opening time and get there about 15 minutes before. As the sirens blast out to warn you of the impending water rush, you expect a flood of water, but it’s more subtle. By the time it’s fully open you are completely soaked before you know it and so a poncho for 1euro at the ticket office is a must. There are several walks, and I recommend even the least active visitor should go at least part of the way. It’s so pretty and you really get to experience it from all angles, but be warned you do and will, get wet.

This double helix resembling DNA is a marvelous creation of human beings. We went two days in a row. Thinking about building a structure like this many centuries ago is a good mind exercise.
