Perugia Walking Tour

With a population of almost 170 000, Perugia is Umbria 's largest city, its most elegant, it offers the finest display of the region's rich and diverse cultural heritage. The Etruscan walls, made of huge travertine blocks and incorporating a massive gate, go back to the third century BC, so the plan of the modern city centre still follows that laid down more than 2000 years ago. I would like to propose a very special, purely artistic excursion of Medieval City of Perugia. This would include the Collegio del Cambio to admire the "visiting card" of Pietro Vanucci, one of the greatest participants of the renaissance, in addition to viewing the central part of the city with Etruscan , medieval, and baroque wonders. We are going to visit the Cathedral , and suggestive underground space of "Rocca Paolina" fortress. The tour lasts between 2. 30-3 hours and can be customized, according to your preferences.

- We start from the "Piazza Italia " situated above Rocca Paolina - Walk along Corso Vanucci, the main street - Visit Collegio del Cambio to admire the works of Pietro Perugino - Fontana Maggiore and its square - Perugia Cathedral. - The Baroque Palace Antinori- Gallenga of University for Foreigners - The monumental Etruscan Arch and the beautiful aqueduct, which is flanked on both sides by one of the best panoramic views of Perugia. The tour ends here The optional extras are San Pietro Church and the ancient Tempio of Sant Angelo. These Two churches are at the opposite ends of town, and are both 20 minutes walk from the Cathedral.
