Perugia, Italy: 11 Best Things to do in Umbria’s Capital City 

Perugia, Italy: 11 Best Things to do in Umbria’s Capital City 

Perched on top of a hill overlooking the beautiful green region of Umbria lies one of Italy’s lesser-known gems: the historical city of Perugia. This idyllic location makes the perfect travel destination as it’s full of stories, incredible architecture, and a bustling atmosphere. If it weren’t for the lively student population, it would seem as if time stood completely still in its ancient medieval center. Marvel at gothic buildings and defensive walls, sample all the delicious regional delicacies, and discover all the best things to do in magnificent Perugia.

Things to do in Perugia

Perugia is the capital of the Umbria region in Italy; a small area that isn’t dissimilar from beautiful Tuscany and dotted with interesting little towns. With its lovely medieval center and international student population, the cosmopolitan Perugia makes a great destination for a (half) day trip or as a base when exploring the country.

Here are all your hotel options in Perugia.

things to do perugia umbria

Due to its central location, Perugia was one of the main cities and prospered greatly during the Etruscan era (900 – 27 BC) in Italy. Its historic center has also changed very little in the last 400 years, filled with cute cobbled alleys, beautiful piazzas, grand churches, and stunning palazzi (mansions). 

perugia city things to do umbria

While history stands at the center of Perugia, the city also knows how to party. Watch as the cafe terraces fill up with university students in the late summer afternoons. Or, if you’re visiting in July, join the many music-lovers gathering for Umbria Jazz, one of the top jazz festivals in Europe .

Did you know? Perugia is also known as the City of Chocolate! You’ll find the Perugina Chocolate Factory in the city center. If you’re visiting in October, there’s even a world-famous chocolate festival called ‘Euro Chocolate’.

things to do perugia italy

1. Palazzo dei Priori

For centuries, a grand palace has stood right in the center of the city’s Piazza IV Novembre. This ornate Gothic-style building called Palazzo dei Priori was built in the 1300s and was previously the seat of the Municipality of Perugia. Now, it houses the region’s main art gallery and has a couple of historic suites with beautiful frescoed ceilings. 

palazzo dei priori perugia italy

Its unique windows, ornamental portal, and fortress-like structure make the Palazzo an impressive building to visit. Marvel at the detailed architecture as you join in with the students outside, listening to street music on the stairs in front of the entrance and enjoying a delicious gelato. 

gelato perugia italy

Opening times & Entrance Fee

Inside the Palazzo dei Priori, you’ll find the imposing National Gallery of Umbria. This museum is open all week from 8.30 AM – 7.30 PM (Mondays from 12 PM). Between January and March, it’s closed on Mondays. Entrance to the museum costs 2 – 10 EUR (2,14 – 10,70 USD) depending on where you’re from and is free for minors. 

For an immersive experience, book a walking tour of the old town in Perugia. See availability and tickets here .

palazzo dei priori perugia umbria

2. Perugia Cathedral

On the same main square as the palace, with the large medieval Fontana Maggiore in the middle, you’ll also find the Cathedral of San Lorenzo. This somewhat strange-looking cathedral has the unusual attribute that its front facade doesn’t face the main square. It was originally built in the 15th century, but parts of the cathedral exterior remain unfinished, adding to the building’s uniqueness.

perugia city cathedral italy

Spend some time wandering around the Roman cathedral, admiring all of its quirks. If you have time, take a look inside at its lavishly decorated interior full of colored paintings and gold details.

perugia italy main square

3. Etruscan Well

With a rich Etruscan past, all visitors need to do is walk along the ancient walls to gain an insight into the oldest stories of Perugia. From one of seven surviving gates and a stout arch to possibly the most impressive remain: the Etruscan well.

Perugia, Italy: 11 Best Things to do in Umbria’s Capital City 

By using a system of stairs, you can descend deep into this old water reservoir. Walk down 37 meters to the bottom of the well and cross the bridge that spans through the middle to fully take in the grandness of this construction carved out of rock. Visiting the well is one of the more unique things to do in Perugia, Italy . 

If you want to learn more about the Etruscan, Roman, and Medieval heritage of the city, you can also book a guided walking tour .

perugia city tour

4. Walk along Via dell’Acquedotto di Perugia

As you roam through the city, you’ll undoubtedly come past the via dell’Acquedotto. This ancient path previously served as an aqueduct during the Roman era, providing Perugia’s citizens with fresh water. What’s even more interesting is that it was ingeniously designed to allow water to flow uphill towards the fountain on the main square! 

via dell’acquedotto perugia italy

Nowadays, the aqueduct makes the perfect walkway, stretching about 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) through the city. Stroll along the path, taking in the different views of the historic buildings as well as the stunning arches of the aqueduct itself.

5. Viewpoint Porta Sole

Nothing tops looking out over the colored buildings of an ancient city with mountains as the backdrop. Perugia, Italy, is built on top of a hill, offering these stunning views from numerous places. The best, however, can be found at one of the highest points of the city: Porta Sole. 

perugia italy things to do

The Arco dei Gigli, known as Porta Sole among Perugians, is one of the ancient gates of the Etruscan walls of the city. Getting there can be a little challenging as you need to scale quite a few stairs from the piazza below. However, the workout is definitely worth it! Up top, you’re rewarded with a stunning panoramic view of most of Perugia and beyond. Enjoy the valley views from this ancient gateway before continuing on your journey through Perugia. 

Tip: For the best views, head here in the morning when the golden sun gently touches the roofs of Perugia’s medieval city and the mountains in the back.

porta sole things to do perugia italy

6. Visit Assisi

If there’s one town in Umbria that is an absolute gem and a must-visit in Italy, it’s Assisi . Located only a twenty-minute train ride from Perugia, this charming ancient town is an important pilgrimage site and is home to some incredible religious buildings and festivals. It’s most notably known as the birthplace of Saint Francis of Assisi , one of Italy’s patron saints. His grand cathedral (St Francis Basilica) is the biggest eye-catcher of the town, unusually constructed of two cathedrals built on top of each other.

Alternatively, take a tour of Assisi by tuk-tuk! See tickets and availability here .

Assisi Viewpoint

A bit outside of Assisi , there’s also a beautiful viewpoint offering one of the most fantastic vistas in the region. Watch as the sun goes down, covering the hills, mountains, vineyards, and medieval cities in Umbria in a beautiful orange glow. Here is the location of the viewpoint .

We recommend to rent a car in Italy through Sunny Cars with free cancellation and insurance included. Book your rental car here .

Calendimaggio Festival

If you’re visiting Assisi in May, you’ll also have the opportunity to see the Calendimaggio festival. During this event, the locals dress up in costumes from medieval times and take to the winding streets of the town to celebrate the coming of spring.

7. Join a Winery Tour

Just like Tuscany , Umbria’s rolling hills are covered in vineyards. The countryside around Perugia has some fantastic wines that you can try at one of the beautiful wineries offering excellent tours. Journey out of the city to walk among the cypress trees under the warm Umbrian sun – a dream come true. 

winery tour perugia italy

We visited Lungarotti in Torgiano (they also have another winery in Montefalco), which is one of the most impressive wineries we’ve ever seen! You’ll learn all about the process from grape to glass, with amazing explanations from very knowledgeable guides and winemakers. They’re known as the producers of the best red wine in Italy (2016), making the experience and tasting at the end even more memorable.

8. Perugia Underground

Wandering through Perugia’s streets is as if you’ve just stepped into a different time period. From the defensive walls around the city to the aqueduct, all of it is part of Perugia’s well-preserved ancient acropolis. Yet, there’s an area at the very core of the city that takes you on an even more unique journey through the centuries. Underground Perugia lies an entire network of streets that answer archaeologists’ questions about how the city got its current shape. 

perugia acropolis italy

From the Etruscan era to the Romans , visiting Perugia Underground shares many of the city’s stories and is one of the best things to do in Perugia. Escape the summer heat for an hour and dig deep into the city’s history. You can access the buried city via Rocca Paolina or use the underground escalator .

perugia italy old city

9. Relax at Lake Trasimeno

Lake Trasimeno, the biggest lake in central Italy, is Umbria’s version of Lake Como. It lies only a stone’s throw away from the border of Tuscany and makes the perfect location for outdoor lovers. Hike or bike around the lake or relax on one of the beaches amidst the forest in Castiglione del Lago or Tuoro al Trasimeno. You can also choose to do one of the many different watersports on the lake, such as kayaking. 

The lake is just a half-hour drive from the center of Perugia, making it perfect for a day trip. As you approach the water, admire the beautiful backdrop of rolling green hills, sunflower fields, and woodland.

Join this kayak tour on Trasimeno Lake

Isola Maggiore 

Lake Trasimeno also has three islands that have small medieval towns perched on the edges. One of the best things to do in this region is to visit Maggiore Island. Home to only 12 people, one ancient street, a small beach, and a few restaurants make the island one of the most serene places to visit. 

things to do perugia italy lago trasimeno

If you walk through the olive groves to the other side, you’ll find an abandoned castle that looks out over the lake. Explore the small and lush green paths that cross the island – a truly idyllic experience! 

Tip: If you want dinner on Isola Maggiore, head to Da Sauro, a delicious fish restaurant. In the summer, you can also stay overnight on the island, as some campsites are open.

perugia things to do lago trasimeno italy

10. Saint Angelo Gate

Porta Sant’Angelo is an impressive medieval gate that’s located at the end of the main street of Perugia’s historic center. Built centuries ago, this stout gate is part of the defensive walls that surround the city and entrance to the medieval time capsule that is Perugia. The impressive structure reveals that it was built in three different construction phases, each marked by the use of differently-colored materials. 

saint angelo gate things to do perugia

Inside the gate, you’ll find the Museum of the City Walls and Doors. Here, you can dive into the city’s rich history and urban development, including the outer ramparts. From up top, you’ll have an incredible view of the city and the beautiful surrounding hills of Umbria .

11. Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo

If you pass through the ancient northern gate Sant’Angelo, you’ll be greeted by a circular-shaped Catholic church. This small round structure stands perched on a hill, slightly hidden by the city’s imposing walls. It’s known as the first religious building in Perugia and, in theme with the rest of the city, dates back many centuries ago.

best things to do perugia sant'angelo italy

With its circular shape, lantern dome, and beautiful lawn in front, it’s a must-see in Perugia. Soak up the afternoon sun as you make a visit to the church, admiring its exterior. You can also take a look inside, which is characterized by charming brick walls, a circular nave, and sixteen ornate columns.

The Best Cafes and Restaurants in Perugia

Perugia is full of delicious restaurants and pasticcerias, making sure you will never go hungry. Delve into the region’s flavors by trying local specialties such as strangozzi , a rustic square-shaped pasta traditionally made with just flour and water. Or, try the Perugian favorite Pecorino di Norcia or Italy’s beloved Baci chocolate “kisses”.

Umbria is also Italy’s largest producer of the famed black truffles, meaning that if you haven’t tried this before (or even if you have), this is the place to do it. Some of our favorite restaurants and cafes in Perugia are:

  • Café Timbuktu
  • POSTO GIUSTO
  • Caffe Dal Perugino
  • Luce Ristorante
  • Piada e Delizie
  • Wang (Chinese)

Where to Stay in Perugia

Though Perugia is an excellent destination to travel to for (half) a day from bigger locations such as Florence or Rome , it’s also an incredible place to stay. As the capital of Umbria, it also makes a great location to base yourself to explore the surrounding region.

Hotels in Perugia 😴

Borgobrufa Spa and Resort

There are lots of lovely hotels at various prices that are never too far away from the highlights of Perugia. If you’re looking to explore more of the landscapes of Umbria, you can also stay in an Agriturismo (farm accommodation). See all your hotel options in Perugia .

How to get to Perugia, Italy

Perugia makes for a great visit, both as a day trip destination or as a stop on your journey to other locations in the country, such as Rome . Depending on where you start your journey, there are a few ways to get to Perugia, Italy .

perugia streets italy

If Umbria is your main destination, then it’s possible to fly directly to the region’s capital from a few cities in Europe . Note, though, that it has very specific times per day.

From the airport, you can get a taxi to take you to Perugia. The journey takes about 20 minutes and costs around 30 EUR (32,20 USD). 

The easiest way to get to Perugia is by train, as it connects to major cities Florence and Rome. From both cities, it takes about 2.5 hours to get to Perugia, which lies almost exactly halfway in between. It’s recommended to book your train tickets in advance as prices tend to be lower.

Book your train to Perugia

Once in Perugia, it’s a 30-minute walk or short bus ride uphill to get to the city center. You can buy bus tickets for about 2 EUR (2,14 USD) from the shops or when boarding the bus. 

getting around perugia italy bus

Alternatively, you can visit Perugia by car as part of a longer Italy itinerary . Renting a car and driving through Italy is an incredible experience, as you’ll get to see more of the stunning countryside of Umbria and go off the beaten path. 

Getting Around

Once you’re in the walled city, you can explore all the different sites on foot. Walking through the labyrinth of the city’s narrow streets is the best way to discover Perugia and its amazing atmosphere. If you’re traveling by car, you can park in one of the car parks outside the historical center and walk from there.

best things to do perugia italy

The Best Time to Visit Perugia

The whole region of Umbria is relatively quiet all year round. However, it does get a bit busier during the summer months when Italians have their holidays.

Perugia remains to be a lesser-known gem, meaning that you can undoubtedly explore the quaint medieval streets with few other tourists. However, we recommend visiting in the shoulder seasons (April/May or September/October) to be able to enjoy more of beautiful Italy . Both these times, it will still be warm, and you’ll have plenty of sunshine to enjoy the stunning landscapes of the region!

Exploring One Day In Perugia, Italy

Pinterest Hidden Image

How to spend one day in Perugia? Explore the highlights with these things to do in Perugia in a day.

When planning a trip to Italy, the region of Umbria gets easily forgotten, but it’s one of those regions that deserve to be explored.

After spending 3 days in Tuscany , in Pienza, we decided to cross over the border of the Tuscany region into Umbria. It’s a region that we are highly curious about and a region that easily gets forgotten. From Pienza, it was a little over an hour’s drive.

So, we visited Umbria’s capital city, Perugia.

Where is Perugia, Italy?

Perugia is a city in the region of Umbria, in central Italy. It is one of the largest cities in Umbria and one of the oldest, dating back to the time of the Etruscans. The walled historic city sits on a hill overlooking the valley of the Tiber and is one of the most important cities in central Italy.

It’s also home to one of the oldest universities in Italy, the University of Perugia.

And if you’re looking for a tasty itinerary, chocolate lovers are in for a treat, as Perugia is home to one of Italy’s most famous chocolate factories, Perugina. The famous Baci chocolates that we all love originate from this great city.

Perugia is famous for its chocolate. Their biggest chocolate manufacturer is Perugina. Baci chocolates are one of the most famous Italian chocolates produced in Perugia.

Things to Do in Perugia in a Day

With one day in Perugia, you can’t see everything, but you can experience the city’s highlights. You can get around the city easily on foot and make your way to the important landmarks we list below.

When we arrived, we were surprised by the size of the city and how busy it was when visiting Italy in October. It had the same liveliness reminiscent of Bologna , probably because it’s another university city.

We made the most of one day by walking around, ticking off some of the city’s highlights, stopping for a panini, and eating too much chocolate.

You can always plan to arrive in Perugia and have a guided tour booked to make the most of your day.

Lookout for the Gates & Arches in Perugia

perugia city tour

There are different entrances to this walled city. There are 6 gates along the wall, but 22 gates and arches within the city of Perugia. Just seeing and walking through one of these gates and arches is almost like being transported back in time.

You could spend the day discovering them throughout Perugia. It’s one of those historical cities that can be explored one corner at a time if you’re there for more than a day.

Arco Etrusco

perugia city tour

One of the city’s main attractions is the Etruscan Arch, Augustus Gate. Upon seeing it, one cannot help but be astounded by its grandeur. Built in the 3rd century BC, it marks one of the best-preserved Etruscan monuments in the city.

Explore Perugia’s Ancient City Center

city center of perugia italy

All streets lead to Perugia’s historic city center… or so it felt that way. Just keep going uphill. Every alley or street we went down or around felt like it led us back to the city center.

Perugia’s city center shows how prosperous the city was: its majestic Cathedral, Palazzo dei Priori, Corso Vannucci (the main boulevard), and Piazza IV Novembre.

While exploring the city center, you’ll have to wade through some more touristy areas but don’t let that deter you from exploring. The city is full of hidden gems and historical landmarks.

If you’re looking to do some shopping, the main drag of Perugia, Corso Vannucci, will have all the high-end shops and boutiques.

Visit the Piazza IV Novembre

perugia city tour

Piazza IV November is one of the most iconic piazzas in town, the heart, and one you won’t miss, as 5 roads in the city center lead you right into this square. You can also see the square as a fork in the road; which street would you like to go down next?

This prominent square is where the city gathers for events and celebrations. You can find the Cattedrale di San Lorenzo, the Palazzo dei Priori, and one of Perugia’s grand attractions, the Fontana Maggiore.

Fontana Maggiore

perugia city tour

The Fontana Maggiore is one of Perugia’s well-known landmarks. The fountain was built in 1278 and is one of the most unique ones we’ve seen. It is made up of two basins, one on top of the other, the second being held by small columns inside of the bottom of the basin.

perugia city tour

It’s one of those monuments that one should take the time to admire and explore. It’s intricately designed with a mixture of religious symbols and secular figures from the Old Testament, making it one of Perugia’s most stunning sites.

The execution of this fountain coincides with the completion and celebration of the Roman aqueduct.

Quick Lunch at La Bottega

Piazza Francesco Morlacchi 4, 06123 Perugia PG, Italy Google Map It

outside la bottega in perugia

Not far from Piazza IV Novembre is Piazza Morlacchi, where you’ll find La Bottega. Go west and onto Via Maesta delle Volte, follow that down to Piazza Cavolloti, and then left onto Piazza Morlacchi. There you’ll find a few spots to eat.

When you see locals patiently waiting in line and gathering outside an establishment to eat, you have to find out what it is. Timing perfectly with a late lunch, we came across this scene, and everyone was eating paninis—one of the best quick and cheap lunches in Italy.

panini from la bottega di perugia

We stood in line and ordered paninis from La Bottega’s menu. These sandwiches were hand-prepared to order. The best part was that it cost us less than 10 euros for two sandwiches and two glasses of water.

This is a great grab-and-go lunch when you’re short on time and want to make the most of your day.

Via dell’Acquedotto

Via dell'Acquedotto Perugia Italy

Afterward, we headed to Via dell’Acquedotto to see the Medieval Aqueduct, presently a pedestrian walkway.

Romans engineered the earliest form of the aqueduct, but it was restored many times in the middle of the ages.

perugia city tour

When we read about the aqueduct, for some reason, we were expecting a grand structure. So while it is a cool part of history in Perugia, what is left of the aqueduct is fairly small, and a quick short walk over it.

It is a pretty scene arriving at Via dell’Acquedotto, having a beautiful view of part of the city of Perugia. You can stop here to take photos, or you can continue on your journey across the aqueduct. On the other side, you’ll find a quieter side of Perugia with residential structures and other local businesses outside the touristy areas.

Explore Rocca Paolina

perugia city tour

If you still have time in the day, one of the top things to do in Perugia is Rocca Paolina. This fortress was built in 1540 and is one of the most important monuments in Perugia.

This fortress was built in 1540 and later destroyed in the 1800s. 1965, it was rediscovered, and excavations began, bringing back this underground city in Perugia. There are four entrances to Rocca Paolina, and you can walk down one of the many tunnels and explore the chambers, one leading to another in this fortress.

What’s cool about Rocca Paolina is that the escalators built inside take you from one part of the city to another.

Also, at the top of Rocca Paolina are some incredible views worth stopping for.

Visit the Official Perugina Shop

Outside the perugina shop in the city of perugia

One of the top things to do in Perugia, especially if you’re a chocolate lover, you can’t forget to stop by one of the most famous chocolate shops.

Perugina is one of the best-known chocolate brands in Italy, and one has to buy a few chocolates to eat right then.

You’ll see Baci chocolates sold all over the city and in different shops, but Perugina is the official shop. You will find Baci chocolates of different flavors, ones you’ve never seen back home. Also, different types of mixed chocolates and confections are only sold in Europe.

Let’s not forget to buy a few gifts to take home. This is a great spot to shop for edible souvenirs to take back home with you.

The official Perugina chocolate shop is located in Corso Pietro Vannucci, 101, 06123 Perugia PG, Italy ( Google Map It )

Optional: Visit Casa del Cioccolato Perugina

If you plan your day trip to Perugia, you can probably fit this in at the start of your day. Unfortunately, we didn’t think of it until later.

You can reserve a tour of the Perugina Chocolate Factory and Museum, locally known as Casa del Cioccolato Perugina (translating into The House of Chocolate Perugina).

It’s right outside the city center of Perugina. For logistical purposes, plan to tour it either at the start of your one day in Perugia or towards the end of it.

You can book a directly with Perugina .

How to Get to Perugia?

Option 1: Car Rental

Having a car rental allows you to explore freely; however, it all depends on how comfortable you are with driving, your itinerary, and if you even need a rental. If you’re staying in a major city with access to a train station, you may not need a car rental to make it to Perugia.

You’ll want to reaccess if you plan to explore the Umbria region. A car rental, in general, would be ideal for driving in the countryside and visiting smaller towns.

Find a car on  rentalcars.com .

Option 2: By Train or Bus

  • If you stay in a major city, you can easily get to Perugia by train. You can quickly get from one major city to another using Trenitalia or Italo, the main Italian train operators.
  • Take the train to Perugia Fontivegge Railway from the station you need to get to the historic center. The fastest way to get to the city center is to take a taxi or the mini-metro.
  • Taking a bus is also an option. It all depends on where you’re staying, but there are direct bus transfers to Perugia.
  • Book your tickets in advance. Click here for train schedules and info ; it will come up if a bus transfer option is available.

Day Trip Examples:

  • Day trip from Florence  to Perugia by train is a one-way 1 hr 14 min direct train ride or a 2 hr 25 min bus ride.
  • Day trip from Assisi to Perugia is a one-way 22 min train ride.
  • Day trip from Siena to Perugia is a one-way, 43-47 min train ride.
  • Day trip from Arezzo to Perugia is a one-way, 47-57 min train ride.
  • From Rome to Perugia is a 2 hr 42 min train ride one-way or by bus, it’s 2hr 15 mins.

Option 3: Hire a Driver or Book a Guided Tour

One day in Perugia was all that was needed to see the highlights. However, with the amount of history and hidden gems in this city, it deserves more time in the future. If we could do it all over again, we would hire a guide to highlight all the hidden historical facts we may have missed.

A local’s guide to Perugia, Italy: five great things to do

The ancient walls, papal fortress and creative quarter of Umbria’s 2,500-year-old capital make a happy haunt for flâneur Gianluigi Bettin

A writer and walking guide living in Perugia for 12 years , Gianluigi Bettin is co-author of the Via di Francesco guidebook ( Terre di Mezzo, €20 ).

Perugia is a great place to enjoy products and specialities from all over Umbria. A recent restaurant discovery was Numero Zero , where the owners are keen on social inclusion and employ young people with mental health problems. Their philosophy is to create a place where “being different is not a cause for embarrassment”.

I went there on a first date, and though that relationship didn’t work out, I’m still in love with the restaurant for its food and super-friendly service. They do a lot of meat, all sourced from small farms – I had gorgeous pigeon with chard and forest fruits – but my vegetarian date enjoyed his courgette escabeche and strangozzi pasta with vegetable ragù.

Inspiration

Underground tunnels and chambers of the Rocca Paolina fortress.

Help! How can I pick one place from a city with 2,500 years of history? The two miles of Etruscan city walls? The medieval Torre degli Sciri ? I’m a flâneur, a Perugian Baudelaire , and my favourite stroll is in the dimly lit Rocca Paolina , redolent of the plots and power struggles of centuries past. It’s a fortress built in 1543 for Pope Paul III, with a whole district – particularly the house of his arch-enemies the Baglionis – demolished or remodelled. All very Game of Thrones. Today it’s a series of high-ceilinged passageways under the old town – all open to the public, with exhibition spaces and a museum. Continue the time-travel with a tour (€10pp) of the excavations under San Lorenzo cathedral , which take you into Roman Perugia, then back to when this was the Etruscans’ Acropolis, with a sixth-century BC temple.

Saturday magazine

perugia city tour

This article comes from Saturday,  the new print magazine from the Guardian  which combines the best features, culture, lifestyle and travel writing in one beautiful package. Available now in the UK and ROI.

Neighbourhood

Porta Sole has become the city’s creative quarter, where there’s always something new to see: performance art, street art, poetry, craft workshops. Start with Mannaggia (nearest translation: “Damn it”) bookshop on Via Cartolari, which specialises in small publishers and does regular evening events, then follow Via della Viola past little shops and restaurants to the Post Modernissimo cinema, actually the oldest in Perugia. It closed in 2000 but reopened in 2014, thanks to crowdfunding by a social enterprise. The cinema has three screens, and a terrace outside for aperitivi.

Green space

Many people connect the Tiber with Rome, but from its source in the Apennines, the river passes below Perugia, and can be reached on a two-hour circular walk along Sentiero delle Lavandaie (washerwomen’s walk, part of the 550km Via di Francesco trail ). Begin at Porta Pesa gate, where the washerwomen used to arrive from the riverside village of Pretola. Once the only route from the city to the river, the path is mentioned in a Perugia city council document from 1299, but was still used by washerwomen until the mid-1960s. Every Sunday they could be seen coming to collect laundry from wealthy families. The footpath, reinstated in 2011, runs alongside a stream, across fields and woodland to Pretola’s watermill, with its medieval tower. Download Perugia InApp for more GPS-marked walking routes.

Evening strollers on Corso Vanucci.

Punto di Vista bar, on the hill below the town hall, has a stunning view over the Tiber valley, and good cocktails. But the best thing to do of an evening is wander along Corso Vanucci, sit on a bar terrace and people-watch. Dempsey’s , near the cathedral, is a cocktail bar open till 1.30am, with every spirit in the world seemingly on offer, and fantastic margaritas. Up narrow Via del Sole is Bottega del Vino , with live jazz on Wednesdays and a huge choice of Umbrian wines.

Little Italy hostel was converted from an 11th-century church. Dorm beds cost from €17, but it also has family rooms and a double in a former side chapel. Hotel Fortuna is in a 14th-century building off Corso Vanucci, with roof terrace, doubles from €77 and flats from €380 a week.

The Best Things to See and Do in Perugia, Italy

Walk the Via dell’Acquedotto to admire Perugias pretty architecture up close

The biggest city in the central Italian region of Umbria, Perugia is celebrated for its magnificent old town, gothic main square, rich local delicacies and lively student population. Here are the top things to see and do while you’re there.

The capital of the Umbria region may not be as well-known as nearby heavyweights like Florence, Rome and Bologna, but that’s part of what makes it so appealing. Perugia holds its own when it comes to Italian cultural riches, with gothic architecture, Renaissance frescoes, ornate former palaces and cobbled squares populating the beautifully preserved historic centre. And thanks to a large, popular university within the city, a lively and youthful atmosphere is always within arm’s reach – particularly over an aperitivo in the bustling main piazza each evening. Here are the best things to see and do in Perugia, Italy.

1. People watch in Piazza IV Novembre

Historical Landmark

Piazza IV Novembre, with Fontana Maggiore, Perugia, Italy. Image shot 10/2014. Exact date unknown.

Learn how to sit back and watch life happen around you in this smart, spacious city square. There’s lots to discover about Perugia’s past if you’re in a learning mood, but more often than not the best option is to just kick back at one of the many restaurants or cafes, enjoying a long, lazy lunch or chain-drinking cappuccinos, while gazing out at city life. Pick a spot with a view of Fontana Maggiore, the piazza’s central medieval fountain, or keep yourself entertained by watching one of the many street performers that set up here.

2. Visit the National Gallery of Umbria

Art Gallery, Museum

Italy Umbria Perugia - National Gallery of Umbria: Monographic Exhibition of Taddeo Di Bartolo - (1362-1422) -

Just off the main square of Piazza IV Novembre, the gargantuan National Gallery of Umbria covers 4,000sqm (43,056sqft) over two floors and displays a vast selection of mostly medieval and Renaissance works, primarily from Umbrian artists across the ages. Alongside the extensive permanent collection sits a room for temporary exhibitions, and elsewhere around the gallery you’ll see displays covering jewellery, ceramics, sculpture and topography.

4. Take a wine tour

The countryside surrounding Perugia produces some excellent wines – particularly reds – so it would be a shame not to journey out of the city and sample them. Various tasting tours are available around the region, including at the Goretti estate, a family-run winery 20 minutes away from central Perugia by car, which offers a range of tasting experiences. It tastes all the sweeter when you’re looking over lush, rolling hills, carpeted in the vines that grow those juicy grapes.

5. Marvel at Palazzo dei Priori

Architectural Landmark, Historical Landmark

Before you pay a visit to the National Gallery of Umbria, take time to stop and appreciate the building you’re heading into – which is a work of art itself. The gothic Palazzo dei Priori is one of the finest examples in Italy of a public palace and is striking to behold, with its crenellated roof and delicate, pointed windows. The story of its construction and subsequent extensions, rebuilding and decoration across the centuries – beginning in the late 13th century – is a fascinating one and deserves an hour or so of your time before you enter the gallery proper.

6. Look at the amazing churches

Church, Architectural Landmark, Historical Landmark

Italy, Umbria, Perugia, interior of San Lorenzo Cathedral

Like so many Italian destinations, Perugia is home to a range of beautiful churches that are worth seeking out. Don’t miss the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, stretching out grandly across the top of Piazza IV Novembre and holding various renowned artworks in its gothic confines, such as Federico Barocci’s high-drama La Deposizione Dalla Croce . In contrast to the bold cathedral is the humble Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo, set in a peaceful location north of the city centre and built in an unusual circular shape with a domed roof. It’s believed to be one of the oldest churches in the region.

7. Climb Sciri Tower

Size matters when it comes to defence towers, which perhaps explains why this behemoth medieval structure was built to 42m (138ft) high. As such, it rewards those who ascend its 232 steps with fantastic views out across the city and beyond. As with so many buildings in Perugia, there’s a colourful and sometimes-bloody history attached to Sciri Tower. But even if you’re there purely for the views you’re in for a treat, particularly if you time your visit for sunset.

8. Walk the length of the Via dell’Acquedotto

Via dell’Acquedotto

On paper, a medieval aqueduct may not sound like the most exciting of attractions. But this 2.5mi (4km) feat of engineering is guaranteed to impress all but the most-hardened sceptics. It was designed to allow water to flow ingeniously uphill to reach Piazza IV Novembre’s landmark fountain, Fontana Maggiore. Today, Via dell’Acquedotto is used mainly as a walkway that stretches through the city, marking out the perfect path for a not-too-long stroll.

9. Take a boat to the islands in Lago Trasimeno

Natural Feature

As you may guess from its name, the 128sqkm (49sqmi) Lake Trasimeno is very much the centrepiece of the Parco Regionale del Lago Trasimeno. The drive from Perugia takes anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes, depending on which bit of the lake you want to get to. Wherever you choose to park up, factor in a boat trip to one of Trasimeno’s two visitable islands, Maggiore and Polvese – carpeted in forest and with serene lake beaches to sunbathe on, they make for a chilled family day out. Back on the mainland there are activities galore, from hiking and biking trails to wine tours and exploring the numerous lakeside towns. Castiglione del Lago, which juts into the water, is a particularly pretty spot.

10. Watch the sunset from Giardini Carducci

Park, Historical Landmark

Viewpoint from Giardini Carducci garden, Perugia, Umbria, Italy, Europe

Dedicated to the Nobel Prize-winning poet Giosuè Carducci, whose poem Il Canto Dell’Amore was inspired by the setting, these tranquil gardens are perfect if you simply want to relax in a peaceful, quiet location. For many locals, however, Giardini Carducci is also known as the best sunset spot in the area, due to its elevated position and sweeping rooftop and mountain views. On a clear day you can even see the hilltop town of Assisi – birthplace of Saint Francis – in the distance.

Not sorted your stay? Book one of the best hotels in Perugia now through Culture Trip. After spending the day exploring the city, relax with a delicious dinner in one of Perugia’s best restaurants . Why not see more of Umbria by taking a trip to some of the villages near the capital? Stay at one of the best hotels in Gubbio or check out the best things to see and do in Assisi. For the more adventurous, there’s the option to venture out of Umbria and take in the must-see sights of not-so-far-away Florence.

The first day was not to our liking. Our nephew's flight was delayed and cancelled due to weather. We asked if he could be picked up later and was told it would cost 244 Euros to help us out! The hotel we were staying in was kind enough to offer to do that. 244 Euros was an out outrageous amount to charge help a client out! Also the stop in Gubbio was a waste of time. Other than that, out guides were good.

Tappa a Perugia del tour Ugl 'Lavoro è PartecipAzione'

PERUGIA , 14 marzo 2024, 12:20

Redazione ANSA

- RIPRODUZIONE RISERVATA

Si è conclusa a Perugia l'undicesima tappa del tour itinerante promosso dall'Ugl con lo slogan "Lavoro è PartecipAzione". L'autobus, per promuovere la partecipazione dei lavoratori alla gestione delle imprese ha fatto tappa nella centrale piazza IV Novembre.     Il tour che sta attraversando venti regioni si propone di affrontare il tema della partecipazione declinandolo "concretamente" nelle singole realtà aziendali. Al centro dell'evento di Perugia i temi locali e regionali che riguardano l'occupazione, l'economia e il lavoro.     "In Umbria secondo l'Aur, Agenzia Umbria Ricerche, il tasso di crescita reale nel 2023 si attesta intorno allo 0,6%, un rallentamento che risente del calo dell'export dovuto alla congiuntura internazionale" hanno dichiarato in una nota congiunta Paolo Capone, segretario generale dell'Ugl, e Roberto Perfetti, segretario regionale, a margine dell'evento secondo quanto riporta una nota del sindacato. "Sul fronte occupazionale, invece - hanno aggiunto -, i dati sono confortanti. I primi nove mesi del 2023 hanno sancito una ripresa del mercato del lavoro nella regione più sostenuta di quella nazionale (+2,8% tendenziale contro 2,0%), un fattore che ha contribuito a sostenere la domanda delle famiglie. Per quanto riguarda il turismo nella Regione i primi nove mesi del 2023 fanno segnare numeri record con 5,5 milioni di presenze. Si tratta di una fotografia incoraggiante da cui emerge una solidità e una capacità da parte di imprese e lavoratori di fare sistema. È fondamentale, al contempo, puntare sulle eccellenze che il territorio può offrire e che possono attrarre investitori con ricadute occupazionali significative. In questa prospettiva il Pnrr può certamente rappresentare una leva importante per rilanciare la crescita e le politiche industriali".
