Gubbio, Umbria, Italy
travel videos & photos at: townsofeurope.com/ with text, maps & links.
We are visiting Gubbio, one of the great, medieval, stone towns of Italy. We're in Umbria and fortunate to be walking with local expert, Isabella, who is going to take us around and show us all of these great sights of this amazing town of Gubbio. It's about 1000 years old but it has origins that go back 3000 years. It's really got a lot of history.
Most travelers, even if you're very experienced, have never heard of the town of Gubbio in Umbria in Italy. Well we are going to take you there.
We were lucky to meet Isabella, who is not a professional tour guide. She's a sommelier and journalist, but she's born and raised in Gubbio and very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her hometown. She's going to take us on a walking tour, ending up with dinner at home with her family. And it was just a great evening with family and friends at home in Gubbio, one of the nicest nights I've ever had in my travels.
This is an assembled version of several shorter movies previously uploaded.

Wow. Fantastic. What a hidden gem. And your host , she is like sunshine. 👍🏻
How wonderful of that young lady to show you around. I have to say this has happened to me on several occasions in rural Italy - Italians are often very generous with their time and will share their knowledge of their home town (particularly if you have a little Italian).
An absolute gem! Not only a historically fascinating town, but the people there are very beautiful and so interesting to observe. This is truly the type of video that provides so much detail and insight that travellers could gladly go out of their way to visit this special looking place!
Extremely interesting video! I am especially pleased that you recommended visitors to use the bus from Perugia to Gubbio. Most tourists (especially British tourists like me!) hardly ever think of using buses to get BETWEEN towns.
Truly beautiful and impressive, love those medieval towns.
Gubbio is of the places where Franco Zepperelli 1968 Romeo and Juliet was made, Piennza, Artena as well! ❤️❤️❤️ It's on my bucket list to visit soon as these restrictions are done 👍✅
I know Gubbio from a LIVE stream on youtube!! Looks like a very pretty city!! Ti amo Italia...!! 💚

It's like watching a documentary! Shooting, editing, narration and even casting are great!👍👍👍
Thank you for introducing me to Gubbio. I watched this video 3 years ago and added it to our itinerary. Gubbio is a great hub for Umbria. The stone city certainly wins you over at first sight with its medieval charm. We arrived in Gubbio a few days ago and enjoy exploring its labyrinth of alleys, narrow streets, and shops.

Glad you enjoyed it!
I want to visit, of course!
It’s the people we meet on our travels that make our journeys memorable. Umbria is a wonderful area to visit, and your video really showcases this.
Lovely tour of a very interesting town. I enjoyed the upload very much. Thank you from Australia.
You're the best travel channel out there. It's a darn shame that more people have not subscribed to you.
Ok, I cannot tell a lie. I came here because of Don Matteo! Wanted to learn more about this beautiful town.
Very nice, I learned a lot about Gubbio!
Interesting place! Great share! Thanks for the information. 💛🧡❤
Enjoy the way you pay attention to the locals hanging around their shops and their towns .. enjoy your videos very much
Both my parents and their parents were from Gubbio. What a beautiful beautiful video.🌲🏡 thank you so much🌹
Complimenti per il video mozzafiato bellissimo
That was just beautiful.
This is so great! Priceless!
My most favorite medieval town in Umbria along with Pienza in Tuscany. Thanks for your nice video.

I agree, and I also have a video about Pienza kzread.info/dash/bejne/eISl1qeyedbgoNI.html
I enjoyed your visit to Gubbio, comparing it to our visit a few years ago. We happened to be there when the crossbowmen were having a match. They set up facing City Hall and with their backs to the great staircase. Their clothing and weapons were an amazing look back to, I suppose, the Rennaissance.

So beautiful Town
Great job on the video.
Grazie molto Dennis and Isabella! What a sweet girl! These are the spots you need to visit in Europe if you want to have an authentic experience. The big cities and places that are accessed by cruise ships are completely overrun with the worst type of tourists.

Hello, yes gubbio is a small town, you can visit it in a day, it's a beautiful place, went there a couple years ago, i totally recommend it for a day trip.
Interesting
molto bello. Hello from Ukraine
Lots of great information for someone planning to visit, thanks for making the video. Just an observation, perhaps less is more when it comes to narration. :)
Visited Gubbio and loved it. How can I find someone like Isabella for my next trip?
Dennis greatly under utilized Isabella here
You sound like Rick Steve are you from same state ?

I'm from Honolulu, he's from Seattle, but thanks, I'll take that as a compliment. Our styles are different. He is always on camera, center of attraction, and develops many personal stories, whereas I am almost always behind the camera, and focus more on the places rather than talking with families in their homes -- except this Gubbio video at Isabella's house for dinner!!
