| Map of Umbria |
Umbria is one of the smallest and the only landlocked Italian regions between Lazio, Tuscany and Abruzzo.
The region beauty lies in the bond that Umbrians have have had with their rich and glorius past: museums, castles and fortresses, modern and contemporary art, artistic and historical events wait for you in Umbria.
The small cities, fortress and castles are perfectly integrated within the landscape and the countryside, leaving an extraordinary heritage.
