The first stop will be in Cortona for a self-guided visit of the city (1 hour). Cortona is a traditional fortified Etruscan city, located approximately 600 meters above sea level, offering spectacular views of the surrounding valley and Lake Trasimeno. The main things I recommend you look for in the city center are: - Piazza della Repubblica, the historic center of Cortona - the pretty medieval streets of Cortona - Piazza Signorelli - the beautiful shops of Cortona, We will also visit the incredible Monastery of St. Francis, a peaceful place not far from the city.
