Stop At: Perugia, Perugia, Province of Perugia, Umbria
Perugia is a city full of charme and history. Every ancient gate, alley, piazza, palazzo and church will capture your imagination; and every museum and gallery will impress you with a sense of history, culture and art. Perugia is not just a stuffy old showcase of the ancient, it also has a young, vibrant and energetic feel. Perugia is the site of many festivals and concerts, the most important of which are the annual fall Chocolate festival and the summer Umbria Jazz festival, lending the city to a chic and urbane atmosphere unmatched by other Italian cities.
Meeting point will be at Piazza Italia, from there we will go first exploring the different strata of Rocca Paolina – the so called ‘Perugia underground’. Once back to the city centre, there will be a stop at a famous old fashioned but very traditional coffee shop for an espresso or a cappuccino topped with hand whipped cream.
The tour will focus on the main fountain together with the other buildings standing in the square.
