Perugia’s ancient walled hilltop city is a delight to explore. It’s relatively compact although there are some steep up/down sections that may prove challenging. There are churches, museums, old palaces, a Roman aqueduct (part of which can be walked), beautiful buildings dating back many hundreds of years, an Estrucan well, an international university, a fabulous subterranean city, restaurants, cafes and much more. Simply wandering the narrow cobbled lanes are the best way to explore and enjoy the ancient atmosphere. Behind some of the buildings located on Piazza Matteotti are public terraces that offer sweeping views of the Umbrian countryside. The best part...no crowds! Just locals and students going about their daily routines. An authentic slice of life in Umbria.

We live in Umbria and had only passed through Todi after a day spent in Orvieto. We promised ourselves that we would return to Todi and spend a day exploring its churches and other monuments. Today, we finally did it, and it was worth it. The historic center of Todi is not very big and, surprisingly, not terribly hilly or steep, so you can walk there quite easily. If you're in Umbria and have a chance, definitely spend a half-day or day in Todi!!!
