How do I choose between experiences in Perugia?

Decide whether you want to cook, eat or explore. Hands-on pasta, ravioli and lasagna classes suit anyone wanting a skill to take home; food tours and market visits are best for tasting Umbrian produce with a local guide. For scenery and wider Umbria, look at hot air balloon flights or private guided tours of nearby towns such as Spello and Spoleto.

Do I need a car to enjoy things to do around Perugia?

Not necessarily. Many experiences include a meeting point in or near the city centre, and Perugia is well connected by train to Assisi, Spello and Spoleto. For countryside cooking classes and vineyard visits, check whether transfers are included or plan a short taxi ride. A car helps if you want to combine several hill towns in one day.

About Perugia

Perugia rewards travellers who slow down: an Etruscan hill town of stone alleys, escalators cut through the rock, and a food culture built on olive oil, truffles and hand-rolled pasta. Its strongest experiences are hands-on and table-centred, from the Taste Perugia: The Original Food Tour - Savor Authentic Umbrian Flavors to a Private Ravioli, Pasta & Tiramisu Class in Perugia: Cook Like a Local! in a local kitchen. Use the city as your base and Umbria's hill villages, vineyards and mosaic-filled towns are all within easy reach.

Frequently asked questions

Book cooking classes, food tours and small-group day trips at least a week or two ahead in spring and autumn, the busiest seasons, and earlier still for anything marked as selling fast. Summer and the Christmas market period also fill up quickly. Off-season visits are more flexible, but popular hosts still take limited numbers per session.
