Finding your way
In the Middle Ages
there were no phones
And yet people still found their way around Avio. The booklet is in your pocket: open that one, look up and follow your nose. And if you get lost among the courtyards, all the better — that is exactly how you find the good ones.
Information point
In piazza Vittorio Emanuele III. They know everything, and they hand out the paper booklet too.

Where to park
The old town is closed to traffic: car parks are just outside the village, signposted as you arrive.
