Holiday apartment in Trestina: cycling route, culture and mountains

Holiday apartment in Trestina between cycling route and culture

Several specific themes come together around Trestina: the Ciclovia del Tevere, its stages, mountains, museums, palaces, religious history and events with fixed dates. The Ciclovia del Tevere is an easy cycling tourism route that connects Città di Castello and Perugia along the banks of the Tiber. In Trestina, cycling and cultural experiences therefore meet landscape and event-related themes.

Routes with different focuses

Stage 17 leads from Città di Castello via Trestina and Montecastelli and then climbs towards Borgo Montone. Another route leads via an easy descent to Trestina and then back onto the Ciclovia del Tevere to Città di Castello. This results in different route focuses for travel planning: one is a stage followed by the climb to Borgo Montone, while the other is a route on which Trestina is reached via an easy descent.

Mountains in the surrounding area

The mountains Poggio le Liane, Monte Acuto, Monte Scopiccio and Monte Civitella are located around Trestina. The four mountains add a landscape theme to the routes around the town.

Culture among bronzes, palaces and museums

In the area around Trestina, the MAEC displays refined bronzes from Trestina and Fabrecce. Archaic bronzes considered to be of rare value were found in the Trestina area. Palazzo Vitelli alla Cannoniera, a palace, is located in the surroundings of Trestina. Palazzo dei Priori, a palace, Museo del Duomo, a museum, and Museo Diocesano Di Citta' Di Castello, a museum, are also located nearby. The project to erect a monument depicting an Etruscan tripod at the northern roundabout of the Trestina district has also been completed.

San Donato and religious heritage

The church in Trestina is dedicated to Saint Donato, San Donato. Trestina is the first town on the religious itinerary through the Nestore Valley. Its historical background includes the fact that, at the end of the 7th century, San Donato was chosen as the patron saint of the Lombard militias.

Events with fixed dates

The events calendar also sets its own accents. The municipal Teatro Ragazzi 2026 programme included a repeat performance at the Teatro Ore d’oro di Trestina. The municipality’s 2026 summer programme included the 12th Mostra Mercato Solstizio d’estate in Trestina. The Festa d’Estate takes place in Località Trestina on the second weekend of June.
