Find your perfect holiday in Perugia

Corso Vannucci is the lively main street of Perugia and the best place to experience the city’s atmosphere. It runs through the historic centre and is lined with elegant palaces, cafés, and shops. The street leads to Piazza IV Novembre, the city’s central square and one of its most iconic spots. Here you’ll find the Fontana Maggiore, a famous medieval fountain, and the Cathedral of San Lorenzo. It’s the perfect place to sit on a terrace and watch daily life unfold among locals and students.

The Rocca Paolina is an impressive former fortress located partly beneath the city. Inside, you can walk through an underground world of stone corridors, stairways, and the remains of old houses and streets. This unique site shows how Perugia was dramatically transformed in the 16th century when the fortress was built. It offers a special experience, as you literally walk through the city’s history while hearing modern-day Perugia above you.

Perugia is world-famous as the home of Baci chocolates by Perugina. Throughout the city, you’ll find shops and cafés where you can taste these iconic chocolates or take them home as a souvenir. The Umbria region also has a rich food culture, featuring meat dishes such as grilled beef and lamb. These are often prepared simply with olive oil, rosemary, and garlic. In traditional restaurants, you can experience the authentic flavours of Umbria, made with pure and simple ingredients.
