Full description

Learn the history of Perugia Old Town on a walking tour for small groups. A local guide will show you through the events that took place in Perugia and that have shaped the city, from the Etruscans to the Romans, until the Papal dominations and the Middle Ages. 

 

Dive into the historic square, Piazza IV Novembre, and admire the masterpiece of engineering and Gothic sculpture that is the Fontana Maggiore. Lose yourself in the splendid landscapes that the city offers and capture photos of the rolling hills and snowy peaks from Mount Subasio to Assisi.

  

Cross the main street while your guide unveils curiosities and anecdotes about the city, its characters, and some architectural elements that may go unnoticed. See the Etruscan Arch, built in the 3rd Century BC.

 

Then go underground in the Rocca Paolina, a symbol of the power of the Pope in Perugia. Walk around the old fortress and see the exhibitions on display there.

Includes

  • Local guide
  • Entrance to Rocca Paolina
  • Food and drink

Meeting point

The meeting point is in the cloister (not the church) of St. Lawrence Cathedral. The cloister is accessible through a large portal in Piazza IV Novembre. Having the Fontana Maggiore and the Cathedral in front of you, you have to walk to the left of the square. There is a large portal with red "Perugia Sotterranea" and "Museo del Capitolo" signs. Inside is the cloister and the meeting point for the Walking Tour.

It was excellent. So much good information and an extra treat when the guide told us about the Italian Air Force Fly over and took us to a great spot to see it. She really took the time to explain things to us and gave us information about the University and tried to relate to my niece who is 17. Such a great experience!
