Package name: Gubbio, the “crazy people” city, and Monte Cucco
Duration: 1 day
A micro-adventure suitable for everyone, ranging from the breathtaking landscapes of Monte Cucco Park to the magnificent hanging square in Gubbio.
Why choose this package?
A sensory immersion of sounds, scents, and sights. While the mountain’s grandeur may inspire a sense of awe, discovering its hidden recesses and caves offers an indescribable thrill.
In Monte Cucco Park—located in this corner of Umbria, the "Green Heart" of Italy—an 800-meter underground route awaits visitors. It is a journey defined by sounds (water slowly carving through the rock), scents (the deep, earthy aroma of the mountain’s interior), and sights (spectacular limestone formations).
Gubbio: a “crescia” you’ll not forget
Place a mixture of flour, water, and yeast onto a hot stone slab, and watch as a flatbread—similar to a torta al testo—rises and bakes, ready to satisfy hearty appetites with simple ingredients. This is the crescia, a flatbread you can enjoy as an accompaniment or a main course, filled with cooked greens, local ham, salami, sausage and traditional Umbrian cheeses.
Gubbio: arrive sane and leave insane
Before that delightful transformation takes place—which usually happens at the end of the day—Piazza Grande awaits you: a magnificent medieval elevated square, famous for its Palazzo dei Consoli and for being the beating heart of the Festa dei Ceri festival. Don’t miss out on a visit to the Gubbio Cathedral; this single-nave Gothic structure is a favorite among engaged couples, who often choose it as the venue for their wedding.
To round off your visit, tradition dictates that you circle the Bargello Fountain three times to earn your "Madman’s License." Congratulations! You have officially become a true Eugubino!
