Synopsis:

Ancient Rome to the Renaissance, from Raphael to Ravanelli, the wealth of historical and artistic treasures in towns such as Assisi and Orievto is extraordinary, while towns like Perugia and Urbino have lively universities to add young spice to the cultural mix. Stunning landscapes and enormous panoramic vistas are around every corner and the Apennines, snow-capped in winter before being enrobed in spring flowers, make ideal walking country. You could fling yourself off the top with help from a paraglider, or rush down whitewater rapids on a raft. Alternatively, you could laze on a snady Mediterranean beach with great local wine and delicious pasta, flavoured with the mysterious truffles that grow here. All this and more are just waiting to be discovered in this first edition guide to Umbria & Marche, also including a unique standalone Popout map, perfecting for navigating your way around. Italy's only landlocked region explored by expert author Julius Honnor Author's pick of Umbria's best scenic picnic spots Coverage of Umbria and Marche's Jazz, Rock, chestnut, olive and chocolate festivals Author's favourite walks around the streets of Perugia Section on the wild and beautiful Monti Sibillini, including walks and outdoor activities like paragliding and hangliding to make the most of the stunning views
