Itinerary

Perugia

Passing by

Experience Perugia with a local host who shapes the day around your interests rather than following a fixed itinerary. Before you meet, you'll receive a short Personalization Form, helping us match you with the right host and tailor the experience to your interests and travel style. Whether you're drawn to Etruscan history, medieval architecture, panoramic viewpoints or the city's lively cultural scene, your host will create an experience that reflects your curiosity. Please note that this itinerary is not fixed. The number of stops will vary depending on your interests and selected duration.
Piazza IV Novembre

Passing by

The heart of Perugia for centuries, Piazza IV Novembre brings together many of the city's most important landmarks. Surrounded by elegant medieval buildings and lively cafés, it is the perfect place to begin exploring the stories, traditions and everyday life that have shaped one of Umbria's most captivating hilltop cities.
Fontana Maggiore

Passing by

Widely regarded as one of Italy's finest medieval fountains, Fontana Maggiore is celebrated for its beautifully carved marble panels depicting biblical scenes, the months of the year and everyday life. More than a decorative monument, it has stood at the symbolic heart of Perugia since the thirteenth century.
Palazzo dei Priori

Passing by

One of Italy's finest examples of medieval civic architecture, Palazzo dei Priori reflects the wealth, influence and artistic ambition Perugia enjoyed during the Middle Ages. Today, it remains home to important civic institutions and the National Gallery of Umbria. Your host will explain its significance from the outside, or you're welcome to purchase admission if you'd like to visit independently.
Corso Vannucci

Passing by

Perugia's elegant main street has connected the city's most important landmarks for centuries. Lined with historic palaces, independent boutiques and welcoming cafés, Corso Vannucci captures the city's vibrant atmosphere, where residents, students and visitors naturally come together throughout the day.
Rocca Paolina

Passing by

Hidden beneath modern Perugia lies Rocca Paolina, an extraordinary underground fortress built by Pope Paul III in the sixteenth century. Walking through its preserved streets, vaulted passageways and ancient staircases offers a fascinating glimpse into the neighborhood that once stood here before the city was transformed under papal rule.
Giardini Carducci

Passing by

Overlooking the rolling Umbrian countryside, Giardini Carducci is one of Perugia's favourite places to pause and take in the view. Popular with locals, students and visitors alike, these elegant gardens offer sweeping panoramas, shaded pathways and a peaceful setting that reveals the slower rhythm of everyday life in the city.
Arco Etrusco

Passing by

Dating back more than two thousand years, the Arco Etrusco is one of the finest surviving Etruscan gateways in Italy. Still forming part of Perugia's ancient walls, it offers a powerful reminder of the city's origins long before the Roman Empire and the medieval period shaped the landscape visitors see today.
Porta Sole

Passing by

One of the highest points in the historic centre, Porta Sole rewards visitors with sweeping views across the Umbrian countryside. Tucked away from the busiest streets, this peaceful corner offers the perfect opportunity to appreciate Perugia's dramatic hilltop setting and understand why the city has occupied such a strategic position for thousands of years.
