Cycling: Umbria is a popular destination for cycle tourism. If you like pedaling, it's a wonderful way to discover the region!
And on foot ! Many towns, such as Assisi and Orvieto, are best explored on foot.
Lose yourself in their narrow streets, climb up to the perched castles and stop off at the little cafés for a well-deserved break. Enjoy!
