Overview
Perugia is the city of inverted views: to go up to the city you have to go down into the basement of the hill, you must always be on the move to get the best of every corner, you will never find a fixed point from which to have an overview of the whole ... but then the city turns out to be sweet… like a kiss of chocolate and hazelnut.

A million thanks to tour guide, Sanchez, who is extremely knowledgeable of the history of this lovely lovely city. The walking route has been very thoughtfully planned. She also gave us very useful advice on interesting spots further afield. Roy
A gem of a city
Thomas_A, Jun 2024
Our guide Paola was awesome and showed us the wonderful history of this ancient city. Especially impressive was the Etruscan gate from 2300 years ago.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Hi Thomas! We are very happy you’ve enjoyed the tour with Paola and that you’ve really appreciated the wonders of the Etruscan Perugia. Thank you for your review and enjoy Italy!!
Itinerary
Rocca Paolina
We will start from Piazza Italia to go down to the Rocca Paolina, an entire underground district buried by the papal will that will transport us back and forth in time, from the Etruscans to Garibaldi and La Belle Epoque. We will see the Porta Marzia, ancient southern entrance to the Etruscan city with remains inscriptions and papal coat of arms.
30 minutesCorso Vannucci
Then we will continue to the living room of the city, Corso Vannucci, dedicated to Perugino, a painter whose masterpiece (the Collegio del Cambio) remains unique throughout Italy: it is a 1500 bank completely frescoed by the artist. In the Corso the terraces of the bars, the windows of the beautiful clothing shops and those of typical products alternate.
30 minutesPiazza IV Novembre
We will arrive in Piazza IV Novembre where the Fontana Maggiore proudly dominates, a compendium of popular wisdom of the thirteenth century, next to the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, the Palazzo dei Priori and the Palazzo dei Notari. In the square we play with the “corner views”, we will go around it to take some surprising photos
20 minutesPorta Sole
We will end up at the Porta Sole viewpoint and here we will see another peculiarity of Perugia and that is how the city is set in the landscape of soft green hills covered with silvery olive groves.
30 minutesFontana Maggiore
While we will return to Piazza IV Novembre I will tell you the story of Luisa Spagnoli and her most famous creation: the Bacio Perugina
