A high-altitude medieval and very well-preserved town. Despite the steep ascent, it is highly recommended and worth seeing. Even the view of the town on the approach is magnificent, and later you will be rewarded with great views, including of Lake Trasimeno. You should take your time here and just stroll through the old alleys a bit.

What could be even nicer? Be sure to wear sturdy shoes. It goes up and down a lot.
