Topic

Indulge in a unique exploration of Perugia, narrating the extraordinary heritage of the Etruscan Civilisation. As you walk, unlock the city’s origins, during the zenith of the Etruscans, a people of ancient Italy who held dominion in central Italy between the 9th and 1st century BCE. This tour through the beautiful and evocative historical centre of Perugia aims to rediscover the city’s history by visiting incredible places and testimonies still in the memory of this ancient past.

Tips

We suggest wearing comfortable shoes, as the center of Perugia features uneven pathways with inclines and declines.

I enjoyed the self-guided tour. It took a while to get the hang of using the app, Google Maps and then taking photos along the way but it all worked pretty seamlessly.
