About this activity

We will leave from Piazza Italia to walk to Rocca Paolina, an imposing Renaissance fortress.

Once we have reached the historic center of Perugia, we will be able to take a coffee break with a good espresso or a cup of hot chocolate. We are in the so-called "City of Chocolate"!

The most popular tourist points of interest in the city where you prefer to linger the most. Some of the most characteristic corners are via dell'Acquedotto, one of the most famous streets in the center, or the Arco Augusto, the oldest of all the walls.

After a walk we will stop in front of the Fontana Maggiore, considered one of the most beautiful in Italy.

Finally, we will conclude the tour by observing the buildings that overlook the square, among which the Cathedral and the Palazzo dei Priori stand out.

The building, designed by Alessandro Tomassoni da Terni and Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, was built on what were the houses of the Baglioni, following their revolt against the pope, and occupied a large part of the southern slope of Perugia.
