Umbria is now firmly established as one of the most popular destinations in Italy, and the increasing number of cheap flight opportunities means that this trend will continue.
The 'Blue Guide' provides the most in-depth coverage of the region - ideal for those touring by car and for tourists who prefer to get to know one or two places really well.
The familiar 'must-sees' of Perugia, Assisi and Orvieto are given detailed descriptions, and those unfamiliar with places such as Gubbio, Norcia or Bevagna will certainly want to visit them after reading the 'Blue Guide'.
Also included is up to date information about restoration programmes which affect the opening times or layout of churches, galleries and monuments.
The hotel and restaurant suggestions throughout the guide have been updated and revised, offering the traveller the very best in where to stay and where to eat.
