- Perugia - Perugia is a city brimming with charm and history. Every ancient gate, alley, piazza, palazzo, and church will captivate your imagination, while every museum and gallery will impress you with a sense of history, culture, and art. Perugia is not merely a showcase of the ancient; it also exudes a youthful, vibrant, and energetic atmosphere. The city hosts numerous festivals and concerts, notably the annual fall Chocolate Festival and the summer Umbria Jazz Festival, which contribute to its chic and sophisticated ambiance, unmatched by other Italian cities. The meeting point will be at Piazza Italia, from where the exploration of the different layers of Rocca Paolina, known as the ‘Perugia underground,’ will begin. Upon returning to the city center, there will be a stop at a renowned traditional coffee shop for an espresso or a cappuccino topped with hand-whipped cream. The tour will highlight the Fontana Maggiore along with the other buildings in the square.
- Rocca Paolina - The Rocca Paolina, or Paolina Fortress, is situated in the historical center of Perugia, accessible via a door at Porta Marzia or the escalator system connecting Piazza Italia with Piazza Partigiani.
- Porta Marzia - Porta Marzia is integrated like a blind arch in the masonry of the Rocca Paolina, a majestic work of 16th-century architecture extending over the vast quarter of Colle Landone, the southern elevation on which Perugia stands.
- Fontana Maggiore - The upper marble basin has twelve sides divided into twenty-four smooth panels of pink Assisi stone. Each is separated by an equal number of white Carrara marble statuettes set on ledges between the panels. Some figures represent historical and legendary figures of the city, while others are symbolic.
- Duomo - The Cathedral of St. Lawrence is located in the historical center of Perugia on Piazza IV Novembre, with its southern façade facing the square.
- Arco Etrusco - The Etruscan Arch, or Arch of Augustus, is one of the seven gates of the Etruscan walls of Perugia. It was constructed in the second half of the 3rd century BC and was restructured by Augustus in 40 BC after his victory in the Perugia war.
