About Perugia
Perugia rewards first-timers who eat their way through its medieval center: Etruscan walls, a warren of stone alleys, and a food culture built on olive oil, truffles and chocolate rather than tourist menus. Start with the Perugia Market Tour & Cooking Class with a Local Cesarina, where you shop the market and cook with a local host, or keep it short and savory on the Perugia Street Food Walk: Taste Medieval Umbria.
