Visiting Italian Hill towns
My wife and I (ages 76 and 72) want to spend several days seeing the hill towns around Perugia/Cortona/Gubbio/Assisi, etc. We will have been in Bologna and would like to use one of the towns as a base and day trip by train or bus to see the others.
Which town would you suggest using as a base considering bus/train possibilities to the others?

If you don't want to rent a car, you might find this trip report helpful.

The link on that thread for the FCU train line is no longer valid. You can find that info here.

If using public transportation Perugia is probably the best base for the northern portion of Umbria, and Foligno for the southern portion. Since you want to see the northern portion, then Perugia looks to be the best bet.
