Picture-Perfect Perugia

Day 1  Perugia    
Arrive into Umbria’s capital, Perugia. The city is known for its fascinating Etruscan heritage, renaissance masterpieces, and lively student energy. Once settled into your comfortable city centre hotel, tuck into a sumptuous pasta dish at one of the charming restaurants found in Piazza IV Novembre, a vibrant square where you will find locals gathered.    

Day 2  Perugia    
After savouring an Italian espresso, begin your first morning with a private walking tour, included in your package, taking in the top sights and charms of the historic centre. The tour starts with a visit to the incredible underground fortress of Rocca Paolini, which spans miles of weaving passages. Next, stop by one of the most beautiful medieval fountains in Italy, Fontana Maggiore, before ending your tour at Perugia’s Duomo, featuring ornate gothic architecture. Afterwards, cool off with a creamy gelato, before taking the afternoon at leisure.    

Day 3  Perugia    
Begin the day with a visit to the incredible Palazzo dei Priori. Inside the palace you will find the Umbrian National Gallery, which features 40 exhibition rooms filled with intricate paintings from the 13^th to 19^th Century. Afterwards, treat yourself to a traditional Umbrian sandwich for lunch, and then perhaps, in the afternoon, lean into your inner chef with an unforgettable cooking class, picking up the secrets of how to make delicious, authentic dishes, while sampling some of the fresh, local produce of the region.    

Day 4  Perugia    
Pick up some final souvenirs, or perhaps famous Baci Perugina chocolates, from Corso Vannucci, the town’s main shopping street, before making your way to the airport.
