📍 Destination Overview
Perugia is the capital of Italy's Umbria region, a thousand-year-old hilltop city ringed by medieval walls. A famed university town and chocolate capital, its autumn festival turns the city into a sea of sweetness. Beneath lies an ancient underground city of streets, now explored via walkways. The central square is a medieval masterpiece, topped with views over Umbria's green hills.
