A medieval hill town in southern Umbria (near Orvieto), Todi has an inviting collection of meandering narrow streets, churches and squares. See the Santa Maria della Consolazione church, the Piazza del Popolo and the views from the remaining portions of the city's ramparts. From late March to mid April, Todi hosts the Italian Antique Exhibition—antique furniture, ceramics, paintings and carpets—in the 13th-century Palazzo Comunale. Todi is best seen if you're spending a lot of time exploring hill towns in this area or if you're taking a leisurely pace on your way from Rome to Florence. Don't go there if you're in a hurry or if it's at the expense of time spent in Perugia or Assisi. 60 mi/95 km north of Rome.
