Travel: TheBigTrip: How to do ...Umbria on a budget: Italy's 'green heart' can be friendly on the wallet. Donald Strachan finds affordable ways to enjoy great walks, food, festivals and art
It is good value, too. A handful of Umbrian tourist towns offer biglietti cumulativi, combined admission tickets for multiple sights. [Orvieto]'s is the best. The Orvieto Unica card (cartaunica.it) costs euros 18 and includes the Last Judgment frescoes of the cathedral's Cappella di San Brizio, Etruscan relics at the Museo Claudio Faina, as well as two more museums, an hour-long tour of caves under the city (see orvietounderground.it), a trip down a Renaissance well and a return ride on Orvieto's funicular. Individually those would cost well over euros 30. Art in Umbria's capital, [Perugia], is a little trickier to do on the cheap. There is a free exhibition space in the Rocca Paolina - all that remains of a castle Perugians ripped apart when they threw off papal rule in 1860. The city's best art is inside the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria (gallerianazionaleumbria.it). However, for just euros 10, you can buy the Perugia Citta Museo pass (perugiacittamuseo.it); it gets you, plus a child under 18, into the gallery, as well as four more art sites in Perugia. Even the full price euros 6.50 is a steal for one of Italy's premier painting collections - there's Piero della Francesca, Perugino and a lot more. Umbria has some of Italy's liveliest festivals. For the most part they are free. Among the best during spring and early summer are Porchettiamo (porchettiamo.com), Bevagna's Mercato delle Gaite (ilmercatodellegaite.it), and Spello's Infiorate (infioratespello.it), when the town's streets are carpeted in petals to mark the feast of Corpus Domini. Even a small village sagra (festival) will give an insight into Umbrian life you won't find in a gallery or cathedral - there's an invaluable sagra survival guide at brigolante.com.

OUR SAY
[...]if you want to browse on your iPad, or use a MiFi or portable hotspot device to surf the web on a laptop, it is still much cheaper to use a local SIM card, rather than pay your UK phone company's roaming rates - as long as whichever device you carry is able to accept SIMs from any network.
