A tour of Etruscan Umbria by bicycle
Umbria is the land of the Etruscans. The evidence lies in a whole series of built structures and remains that strongly typify the territory: walls, arches, wells, quarries, tombs and necropolises remind us that the Etruscans were one of the most ancient and powerful civilisations in Italy. Most of these structures are still visible and well preserved, such as the ancient city walls of Perugia, its Etruscan Arch and the well in the upper part of the city, or the important tombs of the magnificent Palazzone Necropolis and the Hypogeum of the Volumni. There are also remains in ancient Orvieto of the Tempio del Belvedere (Belvedere Temple). This infinite treasure chest is located in the magnificent setting of Umbria’s lush green hills and ancient villages.
Cycling along this route around Etruscan Umbria will be a uniquely thrilling experience. Immersed in beautiful landscapes, discovering the past and the origins of this land will be both exciting and moving. This nature and culture-focused tour will, of course, fully embrace Umbria’s great food and wine traditions, as exploring typical products and local wines will be yet another characteristic facet of this experience. You’ll have lunch in restaurants or inns that offer characteristic products and you’ll stay in accommodation that most typically showcases the area (farm stays or historic hotels), always guaranteed by us at Exploring Umbria, since we select and evaluate each property personally.
Don’t miss this exciting opportunity, you will discover a land full of picturesque charm and history, ensuring a truly unforgettable trip!
