Tips for visiting Terni
- The Cascata delle Marmore, about 7 km east of the city, is a waterfall of roughly 165 m in three drops. The Romans first cut its channel in 271 BC, and the water is released on a set schedule, so check the timetable before you go.
- Terni is the city of St Valentine, the patron saint of lovers, who was bishop here. His basilica is in the city and the feast day on 14 February is celebrated locally.
- The old industrial city was rebuilt after wartime damage, so it is more modern than other Umbrian towns. Many visitors use it as a base for the falls and for the Valnerina valley.
- Spoleto, Narni and Todi are all within an easy drive.
