City in Italy

Perugia

2 things to see

Perugia is Umbria’s hilltop capital with a strong university presence, a famous jazz festival, and chocolate traditions that make the city a sweet and affordable stop. The central Piazza IV Novembre with its medieval fountain and the long Corso Vannucci are free to wander, and the city’s hilltop position gives wide views over the valley at no cost. The student crowd keeps food and drink cheap, and it makes an easy budget base for the rest of Umbria, with Assisi and Orvieto both a short train ride away.
