Perugia: Guide
Perugia is a city in the Italian region of Umbria.
Get in
Perugia is accessible by long-distance trains and buses. The train station is in the valley, a few kilometers from the centro storico (historic center) of the city. You can take a local bus or a taxi from the station.
Perugia is also accessible from other parts of Italy by car via the Autostrada.
Get around
It is very hard to drive in the Centro Storico. You will drive very slowly over the many cobblestoned one-way streets and may very well end up driving around in circles several times. You are best advised to do as little driving as possible, and get around on foot. As usual in Italian cities, taxis can be called if you need them.
See
Visit the lovely Duomo (cathedral) and the nearby building which contains very well-preserved frescoes by Perugino, the great painter who was native to this city. Walk around the old city.
Do
It could be a good idea to see the Umbria Jazz Festival. During this period Perugia has a really beautiful atmosphere, with jazz concerts in the center of the city.

Eat
For most tourists, the center, or downtown, of Perugia will be the most rewarding place to eat either lunch or dinner. The main street 'walk' begins at the Piazza Duomo at the Fontana Maggiore and ends with a dramatic overlook that showcases the city's churches and the Umbrian countryside. There are many dining options along this street. The last hotel on the right hand side before reaching the overlook offers five star accommodation and regional dishes, specializing in legumes and fantastic olive oils. At the other end of the walk, just to the right of the Duomo, is a charming pizzeria, La Mediterranea. It is comprised of two rooms, the first with a brick oven and a buffet where an expert pizzaiolo slides freshly topped pizzas onto the stone hearth. This restaurant is always crowded, and only open from 1-4 and 7-11. Arrive either right at opening or after the traditional Italian dinner hours if you don't want to wait outside. The prices range from 5-10 euro per pizza, with a 1 euro cover charge per person. The pizzas are also available for take-out without the cover charge. Step inside the door and give your order to one of the white-aproned gentlemen who will take your money and deliver you your pizza (wait outside while it's being cooked). Located on the historic Via Volte della Pace lies La Botte pizzeria. La Botte operates from 12-3 and 7-11 and offers a variety of local pizzas for in restaurant dining or take-out. At 3.50 Euro for a take-out pizza, La Botte offers one of the best deals in town for those on a budget. For dessert, the gelato shop on the opposite side of the Piazza is delicious with a great many flavours. Or continue down the road past the pizza shop, go down the winding street. When you come to the end, turn left and walk down the road through the historic apartments until you see the ducal palace which is now the Universita' dei Stranieri di Perugia. On the right side of the street is a delightful chocolate shop which serves freshly made chocolates as well as an assortment of gelato--the chocolate flavours are fantastic.
If you wish to not eat Italian food, there is a chain restaurant called Roadhouse Grill, about a 5-10 minute walk from Hotel Fiera (near the railroad tracks) on Via Stalingrado. Good if you feel like sinking your teeth into a nice juicy burger and having some beer. They also have salads, pasta and some Mexican dishes (fajitas and the like).

Get out
There are several nearby points of interest, so take a train or bus or use some of Umbria's excellent highways and secondary roads to visit places like Gubbio, Assisi, Spoleto, Orvieto, and the Trasimeno lake region. Perugia is also not far from the eastern part of Tuscany, where you can find the small hill town of Cortona and the larger walled city of Arezzo.
