Umbria Top Cities
Perugia - Regional Capital of Umbria and often overlooked by tourists, but one of my favorite cities. I studied Italian here and you can, too. See Perugia Pictures.
Assisi - A place where you can get off the train and Walk in the Footsteps of St Francis. See Assisi Pictures.
Orvieto - An Etruscan city, the one with the glittering Duomo in the center of town, and famous for the white wine that bears its name. An easy visit from Rome, see How to Get from Rome to Orvieto. Also see Pictures of Orvieto.
Spoleto - famous for its summer music festival, Festival dei Due Mondi, with interesting Roman, medieval, and modern sights.
Todi - yet another picturesque medieval hill town in Umbria, surrounded by medieval, Roman and Etruscan walls. Although it's a hill town, its center at the top of the hill is flat, so the walkin' is easy. See: Todi Pictures.

Umbria for the Quiet
There's a lot of quiet in Umbria; Umbria is far less densely populated than adjoining Tuscany. If you're looking for a romantic retreat in the Umbria countryside, an interesting option is to stay at a restored Monastic outpost in Umbria called La Preghiera. You can plan to get married there, too, if that appeals to you.
