The capital of the province of the same name, Perugia is a charming city with a strong artistic heritage that can be observed easily just by walking through the city streets. From the ancient buildings such as the Churches of San Augustine at Lupattelli Square to the Museum of Water, there is lots to do here.

There are also several pretty park areas including the Perugia Park and the Botanical Gardens; idyllic spots, particularly for those with families. In terms of nightlife, there are some great restaurants and bars; Perugia is particularly impressive for its wine scene. While there, another recommendation is the agricultural food market, held every Wednesday during the spring and summer months. This showcases some of the best cuisine from the greater Umbria area. You can reach Perugia by car via the E45 and SS75 and it is particularly convenient for access to other tourist hotspots Arezzo and Orvieto.
