With VBT’s deep Italian roots, we know where to find Umbria’s most scenic, low-traffic cycling routes for the best biking experience. Join us on an epic spin through the “green heart” of Italy—including the stunning hilltop city of Assisi—and many hidden gems with authentic local flavor. Cycle the delightful Umbrian countryside to the charming medieval village of Scheggino where you’ll enjoy a tasting of its famous black truffles and local olive oil. During a three-night stay in gothic Spello, you’ll explore this verdant city of hanging gardens—and pedal to the walled village of Montefalco, where you’ll discover its exquisite vintages. Spin along green valleys to the pristine medieval village of Sant’Anatolia di Narco above the River Nera—and cycle the unique landscape of the Colfiorito plateau with its peaceful lagoons and vibrant bird sanctuary.

Perugia Perugia Perugia is a very ancient town, which rose to power during the time of the Etruscans. It was controlled by the Romans and invaded by the barbarians after the fall of the Roman Empire. In the 11th century a Free Commune was set up, reaching great power and splendor in the 13th and 14th century. After an obscure period of internal fighting, in 1540 it was conquered by Paolo III Farnese and remained under the dominion of the Church until 1860, when it became a member of the Italian State. Today Perugia is a splendid city of art, the capital of the region of Umbria and the residence of a famous university. It has a very lively center, rich in beautiful buildings and monuments, where countless artistic and cultural events take place.	Destination Guide
Florence Florence The creative explosion of the Italian Renaissance happened right here, leaving petite Florence more art treasures than most national capitals.
