Gubbio a journey through time between history, legends and taste

Imagine walking through ancient stone alleys, with the scent of truffles mixing with the fresh mountain air. Gubbio is a dive into the past, a village that seems suspended in time, ready to give you an authentic experience, between culture, breathtaking views and gastronomic delights.

The day begins with the arrival in Piazza Quaranta Martiri, where our guide will welcome you to reveal the secrets of this unique city. From here, we climb towards Piazza Grande, a terrace suspended between sky and stone, from which the gaze is lost over the Umbrian hills. We visit the majestic Palazzo dei Consoli, guardian of the ancient Tavole Eugubine, evidence of the Umbrian civilization.

But the real spectacle is found even higher up: a cable car ride takes us to the Basilica of Sant’Ubaldo, where an unforgettable view of the city and the history of the patron saint of Gubbio awaits us, protagonist of centuries-old traditions such as the famous Festa dei Ceri.

At this point, the appetite makes itself felt and there is no better way to satisfy it than with a typical lunch in a historic trattoria. Gubbio is the land of the crescia calda, first courses with truffles and succulent second courses, perhaps accompanied by a glass of wine. A journey through Umbrian flavors that is not easily forgotten.

After lunch, our walk takes us to the Church of San Francesco, where the extraordinary friendship between the Saint of Assisi and the wolf of Gubbio is told, a story that still echoes within these sacred walls today. Then, some free time: you can lose yourself among the local craft shops, discover the traditional Eugubine ceramics or let yourself be won over by the typical products to take home as souvenirs.

In the late afternoon, with hearts full of beauty and hands perhaps laden with delicacies, we say goodbye with the promise to return. Because Gubbio is not just a destination, it is an experience that stays with you.
