Gubbio lies in north-eastern Umbria at the foot of Monte Ingino. Built almost entirely in grey limestone, it feels more austere and more medieval than the towns of the Assisi valley.

From the airport into the Gubbio basin

The road leaves the Tiber plain and heads north-east through wooded, rolling country with few villages. It is a two-lane road for much of the way, with some bends, but no mountain passes. Then the land opens into the wide basin below Gubbio, and the town appears stacked up the slope with the Palazzo dei Consoli at its centre.

Travellers prone to car sickness may prefer the front seat; mention it to the driver.

Streets, levels and drop-off

Gubbio is laid out in terraces, with streets running across the hill and steep stairways linking them. The historic centre has a limited-traffic zone; the driver stops at your hotel where access is permitted or at a permitted point near one of the town gates. There are public lifts that help with the climb from the lower streets.

Above the town, an open cage cable car runs to the Basilica of Sant'Ubaldo on Monte Ingino, a short ride worth planning for a clear afternoon.

Dates that change the picture

15 May: Corsa dei Ceri
Gubbio's great festival, when teams race three tall wooden towers through the streets and up to Sant'Ubaldo. The centre is packed and closed to traffic; book months ahead and expect drop-off further out.
Christmas season
Lights shaped as a giant tree cover the slope of Monte Ingino. Weekend visitors increase from early December.
Quieter months
Spring outside the festival and early autumn are relaxed times to visit, with easy access and cooler walking weather.
