The town
Marsciano is a city of in Umbria between Perugia and
Todi. As a brickmaking town it has an interesting little museum on the topic. The area covered by the municipality (north of the town) is a very hilly and green area, with many medieval borghi and at least a couple of notable winemakers. Marsciano is a good starting point also for exploring the Monte Peglia, a massif in the adjacent Provincia di Terni, with plenty of holiday houses and B&Bs.

Getting there
The local railway is suspended (as of May 2020). Local replacement buses operated by Busitalia from Perugia Ponte San Giovanni station (not Perugia's main station but on its same line) take about 35 minutes. Buses are not especially frequent so check the timetables. The tickets can be bought on board or from the newsagent in front of the bus stop and cost from €2.50.
The same line runs to Terni, which is connected to major train lines. You can get buses from Terni to Marsciano from €4.60. At Terni station, buy the ticket to Marsciano from the shop in the bar rather than at the ticket window. The buses that run on the Terni-Perugia PSG line are not listed on the main timetables displayed in Terni station. However, there is a separate timetable showing these buses and they appear on the departures board.
