Things to Do in Gubbio

Large 1st-century BC Roman theatre, partially excavated, with well-preserved seating rows and stage backdrop. Often used for summer performances.

🕐 Open access from outside; interior opening hours vary, typically 09:00-19:00 in summer

💡 Stand at the top of the cavea for a clear view of the original acoustic design. Check the comune website for free concert dates in July.

Medieval basilica on Monte Ingino, reached by cable car or a steep walk. Holds the wax mummies of the city's patron saint and his retinue.

🕐 07:30-18:00 daily

💡 Go on 15 May for the Corsa dei Ceri, when huge wooden candles race from the main square up to this church. The cable car costs €6 return, but walking is free.

Wooded hillside park with marked trails leading through ancient olive groves and beech trees, with views over the Apennine valleys.

🕐 Open 24 hours

💡 Take the trail from the basilica to the Rocca Maggiore (ruins) — it adds 20 minutes but rewards with the best sunset panorama. No water fountains en route.

Gothic palazzo housing the civic museum with Gubbio's most famous treasure: the Eugubine Tables, seven bronze tablets inscribed in Umbrian and Latin.

🕐 09:00-13:00, 15:00-19:00 (closed Mondays in winter)

💡 Entry is €8, but the Palazzo dei Consoli's panoramic terrace is free. Skip the indoor galleries unless you want to see the Tables — the rest is filler.

Diocesan museum inside a former monastery, displaying Umbrian Renaissance paintings, including works by Ottaviano Nelli and the 14th-century Tadini altar.

🕐 10:00-13:00, 15:00-18:00 (closed Tuesday)

💡 Entry is only €4. Ask the ticket seller to let you into the cloister garden — it's not signposted but is included in the ticket. Quietest at 11am before the tour buses.
