Bevagna What to Pack

Luggage and bags: If you want to visit Bevagna and might need to park “outisde” or walk from the bus stations to your accommodation, I would recomment that you bring luggage on wheels or backpacks, they are easier to carry on the often cobblestoned roads.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Definitely bring shoes with which you are comfortable for walking. Bevagna has a lot of cobblestones. Your feet will be grateful in the evening. Bring warm clothes, even in summer, as the temperature might get colder than at the coast. Umbrella or raincoat might be a good idea, depending on the season. I needed good rainprotection in April (2008). If you want to visit the churches, bring something to cover arms and legs, as you might not be let in with unappropriate clothes.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: There are enough pharmacies where you can get medical supply. Bevagna even has a famous one, with a tree inside. Bring translation for prescriptions. You might like to bring first aid kits with band-aid, as you might have blisters from walking. Foot cream is a good idea, too. My feet were happy in the evening with this.

Photo Equipment: The most magic impressions throughout whole Umbria and especially the region around Bevagna are the churches and other buildings. Many of them, especially Duomo San Michele, have ornaments, sculptures and other details where you would need a good tele lens.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: There is no beach in Bevagna, but depending on the places you stay, you might have access to a pool. If you plan to hike, bring all your equipment, as it is most unlikely to find places where you can rent tents and the other stuff.

Miscellaneous: Binoculars are a good idea, for wildlife watching or looking at the building details. Maybe a torch as well, as depending where you go, streets might not be lit appropriately. Italian dictionary is also a good idea.
