What to do and what to see in Narni in two days.

The town offers the possibility to stay in hotels and b&b making it an ideal starting point for visiting the attractions of the old town, those of the municipality and those of the nearby municipalities located on the Nera Valley.

For those looking for peace and quiet, the territory offers the possibility to stay in several and suggestive farmhouses.

First day: a tour around Narni inside and outside the city walls.

For Narni’s tourists we thought about a suggestive walk inside the city walls to discover all the interesting cultural and spiritual points of the old town.

Thrill-hunting starting from Piazza Garibaldi, passing through the Cathedral of San Giovenale, the Eroli Palace – museum and art gallery of the town – Narni Underground and Piazza dei Priori, until to arrive – in the long itinerary – to the Albornoz Fortress on top of the mountain.

In addition to the short walk through the walls, you can follow a longer walk that also includes the ascent on foot to the Albornoz Fortress.

To the walk can be added different types of experiences and visits within the city walls:

Visit Narni Underground.

A unique experience that starts from the story of the discovery of the Church of Santa Maria della Rupe and reaches the Room of the Torments of the Holy Inquisition and the graffiti cell in which Andrea Lombardini was imprisoned.

Visit the Albornoz Fortress.

Visit the fortress of Narni in a path outside and inside its mighty walls.

Circuit of Medieval Environments of Narni.

Thanks to the collaboration with the Ente della Corsa all’Anello and the Terzieri it is possible to relive the suggestion of the middle age through the experience of the Circuit of medieval environments of Narni: a former convent, workshops and laboratories, where settings and scenes of medieval life have been reconstructed.

Or nearby Narni, reachable by car or by walk:

A walking until the Abbey of San Cassiano.

A wonderful walk, between history and nature, from Narni to the Abbey of San Cassiano: a unique experience to discover one of the most evocative places of the city.

On foot or by bike along the Nera River Gorges.

The cycle-pedestrian of the Gole del Nera is one of the most evocative places of Umbria: a naturalistic itinerary of wonders with passage between the green of an uncontaminated nature made of holm oak and ornello woods and emerald waters that, only in this stretch, make the river an oasis of beauty.

Travel to Centro Geografico of Italy.

Along the ancient Formina’s Trail, just outside the walls of Narni, a path starts in the woods that reaches in a little less than a kilometer to the Cardona Bridge – a work of Roman hydraulic engineering at the service of the Formina Roman Aqueduct.

Near the bridge, a marker indicates the Geographic Center of Peninsular Italy.

Second day: to discover the Lands of Narnia.

For those who want to stay in the town you can do one of the many experiences that you failed to do the previous day.

Otherwise there are many interesting places outside the walls: from the jewelries of the Sacred Speco of San Francesco of Narni and the Church of Santa Pudenziana, to the ancient castles which are nearby the municipality’s territory , to discover a unique territory.
