Narni
Spend a half‑day in Narni, see the Roman bridge and castle, then head back; a full day only if you want the underground tours.
Narni sits on the historic Via Flaminia in Umbria, about 70 km north of Rome. Its compact historic centre, Roman bridge, medieval castle and underground sites fit a half‑day visit; add a museum or extra walk and you reach a full day.

Etiquette, safety and scams
Etiquette
- Greeting: Say buongiorno (until mid-afternoon) or buonasera on entering shops and bars; avoid: Walking in and pointing without a greeting
- Cheek kisses: Two kisses, right cheek first, among friends; follow their lead; avoid: Kissing strangers or in business settings
- Dress: Smart-casual in cities; covered shoulders and knees in churches; avoid: Beachwear, bare chests and flip-flops away from the beach
- Queues: At delis and pharmacies take a number (numerino); avoid: Assuming the crowd at a bar counter is chaos — pay at the till first where asked
- Restaurants: Wait to be seated and ask for the bill; avoid: Splitting a bill item by item with a large group
- Conversation: Food, football and family are safe openers; avoid: Mafia jokes and north–south stereotypes
- Dinner at a home: Bring pastries, wine or flowers (not chrysanthemums, which are for funerals); avoid: Refusing seconds too firmly
Scams and watch-outs
- Limited train service; check schedules at Roma Termini → Orte → Narni.
- Bridge of Augustus is a ruin; no railings on some sections.
Generally safe; watch for pickpockets in crowded bus stations and keep an eye on the uneven stone of the Roman bridge.
