A few years ago, Umbria was known, if at all, as Tuscany's less alluring sister. Not any more: these days Italy's "green heart" is every bit as celebrated as its more famous neighbour. The reasons are simple: the region has all Tuscany's attributes – and a few more.
True, it doesn't have the big set pieces of Florence and Siena, but it does has a coronet of far more intimate and easily visited hill-towns – Gubbio, Todi,. Each has enough to keep you busy for a day or more, and none is more than a few miles from the next, making Umbria manageable and straightforward to explore.

Gubbio
Todi achieved its top during the Medieval period, when it was enriched with splendid municipal palaces and enchanting and religious buildings. You can admire the Santa Maria della Consolazione Church, the Piazza del Popolo and the ancient arches with which the houses support each other, but also the walls that are built around or incorporate what is left of the theatre of amphitheatre, such as announced by the street names (such as Via dell'Anfiteatro Romano). Gubbio is the most thoroughly medieval of the Umbrian towns. Centre-stage is the immense and austere fourteenth-century Palazzo dei Consoli , whose crenellated outline and 98-metre campanile immediately grab your attention; the setting is equally gorgeous with the forest-clad mountains of the Apennines rearing up behind. The lesser Palazzo Pretorio opposite was built to the same plan. In the Museo Civico you'll see the famous Eugubine Tablets, Umbria's most important archeological find. It's also worth a visit the Duomo, the Palazzo Ducale and the Basilica of Sant'Ubaldo.
