CULTURE

Land

If you want to visit the main square (Piazza del Popolo) and all its small alleys, just follow the Corso Matteotti from the “Porta Romana,” and it will lead you directly to the square. If you’re tired from all the touristy stuff, you can take the small elevator – located only 100 m from the main square – down from the small park (don’t dally in the elevator, even though it would be nice to contemplate the magnificent panorama of the valley – you can do that from the park).

ENTERTAINMENT

  • Walking and biking (MTB): The “Countryside Circuit” will allow you to explore local traditions and landscapes of great value. You can follow six different routes (historical trails, communal roads, etc.), where you will discover delightful small villages, local farms, typical crops (lavender or saffron, for example), and cellars where you can taste the best wines of the region
  • Those who would like to visit Umbria only by bike will be fully satisfied! An association offers 30 marked itineraries to discover “the green heart of Italy”. The guide is available here.
  • Swimming: Visit the Olympic Swimming Pool Pontenaia (Todi) where you can spend a quiet day and relax in the shade of trees. Open June through mid-September.
  • Activo Park: This is the largest theme park in Italy, rich in sports and adventures: climbing, ecological games, rafting to nature walks and for smaller spaces and programs designed especially for them!
