Itinerary

City Centre

Passing by

Perugia, the regional capital, is an ancient city located in central-northern Umbria. The historic center is built on the high hills along the right bank of the Tiber River.

We will meet each other and start our walking tour of Perugia exploring its old Roman Ruins.

During our tour you will also experience the athmosphere of a medieval Italian hilltown by visiting local handicraft shops and having a walk through typical little alleys.

After a lunch break (not included) we will move to Assisi. The focus of our tour there will be the Basilica of Saint Francis with its magnificent frescoes by Giotto (13th - 14th C. ), one of the most important artists of Italy in the Middle Ages.
