Umbria

The beating heart of Italy, Umbria offers an unparalleled opportunity for cyclists to immerse themselves in a truly unspoiled natural landscape.

This green oasis delivers mile after mile of verdant, pristine landscapes and peaceful vistas, where the quiet of this ancient countryside is sure to pull you in.

Umbria offers its own blend of romance and magic. Get away from the crowds on virtually traffic-free roads where the most prominent sounds are bird song and the tinkling of crystal-clear mountain streams.

Leave the cities behind for a while as you journey deep into this prized Italian heartland. Wind your way through olive groves, UNESCO World Heritage sites and lush rolling hills. Investigate medieval towns like Perugia, Orvieto, Gubbio and Assisi, and delight in discovering Etruscan hill villages and tranquil lakes.

Umbria displays nature and culture at their finest - a truly great destination for a cycling holiday in Italy.
