Deeper Into Todi
A Renaissance church just outside the city walls, designed in a central Greek-cross plan with a striking dome. It's a calm space with little decoration.

💡 Walk via the sloping path from Porta Perugina (10 min). Inside, look up at the dome's geometric patterns—it's best in morning light.
Todi's main square, flanked by medieval palaces and the cathedral. It's a flat, open space good for sitting and people-watching.

Getting Around Todi
Get off at Todi bus stop, not Ponte Rio. From the piazza, phone the agriturismo – they’ll shuttle you UP the hill for free. The last bus from Rome leaves at 18:00; don’t rely on Sunday services.
Todi Ponte Rio is lower than the hilltop town. Pre-book a taxi from Todi Taxi (+39 335 1234567) – there’s no rank at the station. The train route via Foligno is scenic but slow; pack snacks.
Book a driver through the agriturismo directly – they know the unpaved final lane, which GPS often misses. Avoid hailing taxis at FCO; fixed-price services like NCC Todi or MyTaxi are reliable.
The last 2 km is a gravel lane – a small car (like a Fiat Panda) is ideal. Park at the agriturismo’s gate; don’t try the steeper path if wet. Fill up in Todi town – no petrol station nearby.
