Rute
The Etruscan Arch, or better defined as the Monumental Etruscan Gate, was probably built in the 3rd century BC and is located on the north side of the ancient city walls of Perugia that extend for 3 kilometers. The two main gates were the Etruscan Arch, or Arch of Augustus, to the north, and Porta Marzia to the south, which I will tell you about later.
The construction of the aqueduct, which extends for about 4 km, began in 1254 with the aim of transporting water from Monte Pacciano to the Fontana Maggiore, which I will tell you about later.
The Etruscan Well, located in the historic center of Perugia in the basement of Palazzo Sorbello, was built in the second half of the 16th century and acquired by the Bourbon di Sorbello family in 1780. The palace is currently still owned by their descendants.
Piazza IV Novembre represents the true heart of the city: a symbolic and cultural place that has been at the center of political and religious life for centuries. Significant events take place here, such as Umbria Jazz concerts, Eurochocolate stands and conferences during the International Journalism Festival, which hosts important Italian and international journalists.
The majestic Cathedral of San Lorenzo stands on the site of a previous 12th-century Romanesque church, which in turn occupied an area of the ancient Etruscan and Roman acropolis, now underground. Let's discover this amazing church!
Braccio Fortebracci da Montone was a skilled and determined leader who managed to expand his dominion over a vast area of central Italy, pushing as far north as Bologna, and in 1416 he obtained control of Perugia after defeating Carlo I Malatesta, chosen by the Church as “Defender of Perugia”. In 1423, a year before his death, Braccio commissioned the Bolognese architect Fioravante to create a loggia overlooking Piazza IV Novembre and including a staircase leading to his stately residence.
Corso Vannucci is the central avenue of Perugia and represents the historical and cultural soul of the city. Named after the great Renaissance painter Pietro Vannucci, known as Perugino, the avenue crosses the historic center and connects Piazza Italia to Piazza IV Novembre.
Rocca Paolina is a historic 16th-century papal fortress. Built by order of Pope Paul III Farnese between 1540 and 1543, the Rocca Paolina represented the papal dominion over Perugia, consolidated after the victorious “Salt War” against the people of Perugia. Designed by the military architect Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, the construction of the fortress entailed the demolition of about a quarter of the city. The structure was divided into two complexes: a larger fortress on the Landone hill and a smaller one, called “Tenaglia”, located lower down and connected to the first by three fortified passages.
The Belvedere del Borgobello is one of the most fascinating panoramic points of Perugia. From here you can admire the buildings, the historic center and the typical Umbrian landscape. It is also a meeting place for young people and families, a typical meeting place for the locals.

5Brilliant way to experience Perugia!
This experience was perfect for us, because we only had a few hours in Perugia. We were able to skim through the itinerary as we went, modifying it to spend more or less time depending on our level of interest and how quickly the time was passing. Contact from the organiser was great, and access was super easy.
5Discovering Perugia at our own pace
The tour was very informative and took us places through the city we never would have found. We were able to move at our own pace and enjoy the beautiful day.
1walking was not able to use
could not change from driving to walking although the tour was also not easy toni’s with multiple play buttons
5Very useful for a first time visitor to Perugia!
This was a great and cost effective way to learn the highlights in Perugia. Internet connection can be tricky so it was helpful to be able to read about the sites and then visit them. You have all day to access the website and tour which turned out to be a plus! I ended up stopping to enter several of the sites for a few hours including the Capital museum, Perugia Underground and the National Gallery and then read more about them later. I returned the next day to get a closer view of the last of the sites mentioned on this list after reading about them. Very helpful for a first time visitor to Perugia!
5Interesting tour of beautiful city
We did this tour in about 3 hours and found it very interesting. You can do it at your own pace. We happened to be here for the jazz weekend.
5Highly recommend
Grest tour, lots of interesting facts. Suoer to have audio, the transcriotion and photos.

About Perugia
Perugia is the hilltop capital of Umbria, a medieval city of steep stairways, an Etruscan arch, a great fountain, and chocolate and jazz festivals.
Perugia climbs a long ridge in central Italy, a city of medieval lanes, stairways and arches. The Fontana Maggiore, a carved marble fountain from the 1270s, stands on Piazza IV Novembre beside the cathedral and the Palazzo dei Priori. Inside the palace, the National Gallery of Umbria holds paintings by Perugino and Fra Angelico. The Etruscan walls, the Etruscan Arch and the Etruscan Well recall earlier days.
Top-ranked sights in Perugia: Lake Trasimeno (Lago Trasimeno), Rocca Paolina, Fontana Maggiore.
