Perugia it's a wonderfull medieval city; from a cultaral side there is plenty of things to see and the city centre it's just lovely; nightlife it's also good due to the large amount of university student from all over the world since in Perugia there is The Universita' per stranieri (international university). It's plenty of small restaurant serving delicious food for reasonable prices. |

Oh no, not again - next street lies fifty metres below. In the Italian landscape, many small villages of stone houses lie on top of a hill. But this is an entire city in the same manner. It is definitely one of the most amazing places I have ever seen. With two universities and plenty of long-term staying outsiders, shopping and night life are vivid. Still there is a blessed lack of worthless knick-knacks usually sold where hordes of tourists gather. |

We were there during the annual Eurochocolate event. We thought Perugia is relatively underrated compared to more celebrated tourist-attractions like Siena, San Gimignano, or Assissi. It is not just a well-preserved medieval hill-town, but a substantial city, with a lot to it. The old town is effectively a university campus, and has a very lively feel. A fun place! |

This is one of my favorite cities in Italy! It's very hilly so it's a bit of a hike going up but great going down. Amazing views over the city from the historic center, which is breathtaking and picturesque for all of its Midieval buildings in near perfect condition. Charming and beautiful! Definitely go for the Eurochocolate festival in mid October. It's heavenly! |

Buses are unreliable, but the city itself is beautiful. Despite the freezing weather, and the rain, I fell in love with the place. |

Perugia is a beautiful Medieval city situated in the province of Urbino, about 3 hours from Rome by train. The historic center is beautiful with a few main streets that are primarily for pedestrians. It's a small city, and the activities are primarily in the"centro storico." It has a few decent, but small museums. It turns into a happening place for young people in the evenings. Views are spectacular. I haven't gone to the Perugia Chocolate festival held every October; I'm too chicken of the crowds. But if you're a chocolate lover, check out the Perugina boutique story on Corso Vannucci. It's heaven. Cabs are expensive in Perugia, but there's a decent bus system. Have coffee and dessert at Spari, an old world cafe where the wait staff wear red jackets and practically bow to the patrons as they walk through the door. It's a small city. You can do it in a weekend and feel you've hit the high spots. |

Perugia is the capital of Umbria and is impressively built on a series of hills, so if you arrive along the motorway leading from Lake Trasimeno, you will get a lovely view of the city in the distance as you arrive. The mediaeval center is almost intact and so high up that if you leave your car in the car park near the station you can use a very impressive covered escalator that brings you up to the center with relative ease. The main street, the Corso Vannucci, is pedestrianised and a lovely introduction to the city, with lots of interesting shops, cafés and restaurants. Some of the main sights are the Cathedral (Domo), the Palazzo dei Priori on the opposite side of the square and the Collegio del Cambio, an impressive bankers guildhouse alongside with frescos inside by Perugino. There are some excellent local restaurants offering regional cuisine, which is a little heavier it has to be said that the cooking of Tuscany or the coast. The city has a famous university that offers Italian courses to foreign students during the summer. |
