Umbria is quieter than its better-known neighbour Tuscany but equally rich in scenic and cultural beauty. Castles cling to ravines, and pretty woodland cloaks wild mountains in this green heart of Italy. The towns, packed with churches, museums and art galleries, are equally attractive, and the local cuisine is delicious. In this 96-page guidebook, 15 driving and walking tours link Umbrias highlights, including famous hill-top towns such as Assisi, Perugia, Orvieto and Trevi, as well as Lake Trasimeno and the Nera Valley. Plus there are dozens of full-colour photographs and maps, including a pull-out regional map that is clearly marked with all the tours.
