Todi is an excellent example of a well-preserved Italian hill town. It's a fascinating medieval gem in the heart of Umbria and yet Todi is off the beaten track of tourists. It's one of those authentic places that are not crowded, but Italians in the know are quite familiar with it because this village is so wonderful. It's next to the Appenine mountains with a patchwork of vineyards and olive groves.
Because we're on a hill, the surrounding lowlands can gather mist, sometimes with a magical lighting effect. It's an old-fashioned small town with a friendly atmosphere. Todi is located about 40 kilometers from Perugia in a straight line distance, 100 kilometers from Siena, and 150 kilometers from Florence. During our Todi visit, we'll be focusing on the little pedestrian lanes and the piazzas lined with historic buildings.

We'll see monumental arches in the old fortified walls. Todi has quite a few of these little pedestrian alleyways. No cars here, just people walking and residences, apartments lining these little narrow lanes. While it is a very old town, there are quite a few young people living here. If you're out walking in the morning, you'll see them on their way to class.
These narrow, curved lanes can be a little confusing, so you might get a bit lost. It's a small town, you can't get too lost, but you have a choice. Do you want to just go wander or follow a particular route that will bring you to most of the good parts of town? To help you out, we're going to offer an efficient route.
