What to see in Perugia with a guide
The places where a guide makes all the difference: they know how to get in, what to look at and what to tell you.
Fontana Maggiore and Palazzo dei Priori
The fountain carved by Nicola and Giovanni Pisano and the palace of the medieval commune, on the square where the whole city meets.
National Gallery of Umbria
Perugino, Pinturicchio, Piero della Francesca and Fra Angelico, in the halls of Palazzo dei Priori.
Collegio del Cambio
The audience hall frescoed by Perugino, with his self-portrait painted on the wall.
Rocca Paolina
The papal fortress built over the houses of the Baglioni family: you pass through the buried medieval streets as you ride up the escalators.
Etruscan Well and Etruscan Arch
Etruscan Perugia: the well carved into the rock and the great gate in the city walls.
San Pietro and the Oratory of San Bernardino
The inlaid wooden choir of the Basilica of San Pietro and the facade carved by Agostino di Duccio.
Beyond Perugia: Assisi, Spello and Gubbio
The Basilica of St. Francis with the frescoes by Giotto and Cimabue and the saint's tomb, Pinturicchio's Baglioni Chapel in Spello, the Palazzo dei Consoli in Gubbio. All doable as day trips.
