Ancient Rome to the Renaissance, from Raphael to Ravanelli, the wealth of historical and artistic treasures in towns such as Assisi and Orievto is extraordinary, while towns like Perugia and Urbino have lively universities to add young spice to the cultural mix. Stunning landscapes and enormous panoramic vistas are around every corner and the Apennines, snow-capped in winter before being enrobed in spring flowers, make ideal walking country. You could fling yourself off the top with help from a paraglider, or rush down whitewater rapids on a raft. Alternatively, you could laze on a snady Mediterranean beach with great local wine and delicious pasta, flavoured with the mysterious truffles that grow here. All this and more are just waiting to be discovered in this first edition guide to Umbria & Marche, also including a unique standalone Popout map, perfecting for navigating your way around.
