Time for check-in and rest before meeting your private local guide for a guided tour within the Etruscan walls town centre, the heart of this beautiful city. With its Etruscan and Roman walls, a gorgeous Medieval centre, Perugia is not only a city for the gluttonous (re: chocolate), but for artists and art lovers alike. This splendid capital of the Region of Umbria is also a culture capital par excellence, and the seat of two important universites: Università degli Studi, founded in 1308, and the University for Foreigners, the foremost in Italy. More well-known, though, is old Perugia, surrounded by two perimeter walls. The exterior of the two, from the Medieval Age, remains intact over an expanse of a few kilometres, and along it one encounters several different entrances or portals, including the Cassero di Porta Sant'Angelo. The interior wall is the Etruscan perimeter (the Etruscans built seven different portals through which to enter), characterised by the large masses used in its construction. Nevertheless, not many monuments dating back to this ancient epoch actually remain, and most of the older urban core that is still extant harks back to the Middle Ages. Perugia, Piazza IV Novembre The historic centre, in fact, is a 14th-Century borgo, and one of the prettiest in Italy. Entering from the Porta San Pietro, one will find the Gothic Basilica of San Domenico, on the inside of which are statues and works by esteemed local artists - among these the wooden choir stalls stand out. In the architectural complex of San Domenico, the cloisters and the convent host the National Archaeological Museum of Umbria. Visitors should be sure to see Piazza Matteotti as well, with its 15th-century Palazzo dell'Universita Vecchia, and Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo. Then, one of Italy's most important, Piazza IV Novembre, is the city's monumental social hub. On this central piazza sits Palazzo dei Priori, the symbol of governmental power; the cathedral (religious power) and; at its nucleus, the Maggiore Fountain, completed in the 1200s and fed by the aqueduct originating on Monte Pacciano. Palazzo dei Priori is also the seat of Umbria's National Gallery; its interior boasts valuable works of art realised by artists with strong ties to the Umbrian territory. Among the masterpieces, one should note: the Polyptych of St. Anthony by Piero della Francesca, and the Polyptych of San Domenico by Beato Angelico. Perugia, besides its vast artistic heritage, hosts events of international renown, especially Eurochocolate (every October) and Umbria Jazz (mid-July). From the city's clubs, to the theaters, streets and piazzas, the entire historic centre beats and resounds during the lively days of Umbria Jazz, creating a magical and electric atmosphere that merges with the places and history of Perugia. For ten days the city centre becomes a musical village, with concerts and performances one after another, every hour of the day until late into the night. After the visit you can enjoy a lunch at leisure in one of the stylish restaurants downtown or continue walking through the interesting alleys of the city. A nice suggestion is to visit Umbria's National Gallery or one of the other enchanting museums.

From Perugia you will head the small town of Todi, where you will have free time for a visit to the historic centre. A picturesque medieval hill, surrounded by medieval, Roman and Etruscan walls. Although it's a hill town, its centre at the top of the hill is flat. The central piazza, originally the Roman forum, has several beautiful medieval buildings. Sights are close together and there are good places to linger, enjoying the views or the ambiance. Todi or the surrounding countryside would make a peaceful base for visiting southern Umbria. Some of the most important monumental works of Todi dating from the 12th and 14th centuries, which include Palazzo dei Priori, the Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo, the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the Temple of San Fortunato. After the visit to Todi, with your driver you will head towards Orvieto, one of the oldest cities in Italy, which owes its origins to the Etruscan civilisation. Thanks to its location, to its Etruscan roots, to their wells and artificial caves, to its medieval character, but above all thanks to its imposing cathedral, a jewel of Gothic architecture, Orvieto is one of the most interesting Italian cities. In the XIII and XIV centuries, the city was one of the most important of the Italian peninsula, undisputed military power and more populous than Rome (30,000). Here kings (Louis IX of France) Popes (Martin IV) were crowned and the Third Crusade was proclaimed. Trasimeno Lake view After the visit to Orvieto you will head to Castiglione del Lago. Castiglione del Lago is located on a limestone promontory, above the ruins of several Etruscan tombs. The castle can also be admired from here, as well as the medieval walls of Palazzo Ducale, which is connected by a local pathway to Rocca del Leone fortress, one of the most important examples of Umbrian military architecture. The landscape from the highest castle tower is amazing, do not forget the camera! Our tip: you can ask to Taste and Slow Italy Sales Team all suggestions on what to visit (museums and particular sites) and the best places to have perfect local food and wine, or where to do "authentic" shopping.
