Spoleto, similar to Bruges, is a compact town where everything is within close proximity. While the streets are steep due to its hillside location, there is an air-conditioned escalator that facilitates easy movement from the bottom to the highest point of the town. Throughout our time in Spoleto, we will primarily be on foot.
