Discover the beauty of Umbria, Italy’s “green heart”, on a full-day trip from Florence. Explore the charming hilltop city of Perugia and the spiritual town of Assisi, surrounded by rolling hills, medieval streets, and breathtaking landscapes.
Your journey begins with a comfortable air-conditioned coach ride from Florence, accompanied by an expert Tour Leader who will assist you throughout the day and ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.
The first stop is Perugia, the vibrant capital of Umbria, known for its rich history, medieval architecture, and authentic Italian atmosphere. Enjoy free time to explore the city at your own pace, discovering highlights such as Piazza IV Novembre, the magnificent Fontana Maggiore, Perugia Cathedral, and the fascinating Rocca Paolina, an underground fortress that reveals the city’s unique past.

You can enhance your visit with an optional chocolate tasting at a local Eurochocolate shop, where you will discover the history of Perugian chocolate and taste some of its most famous creations.
Continue your journey to Assisi, one of Italy’s most enchanting medieval towns and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Set on a hillside overlooking the Umbrian countryside, Assisi is deeply connected to the life of Saint Francis and Saint Clare.
