Via delle Capannacce, 20, Perugia

Perugia sits on a hill in central Umbria on the foothills of the Apennines. The city core has medieval walls, Etruscan and Roman remains, the Rocca Paolina and the Palazzo dei Priori, which houses the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria. The University of Perugia and affiliated campuses give the city a large student population and associated services. The area is drained by the Tiber and Chiascio river valleys; surrounding land within the radius is a mix of cultivated hills, olive groves and vineyards. Nearby towns within about 15 km include Corciano and Torgiano (the latter noted locally for wine and olive oil production and a wine museum). Perugia is served by Perugia San Francesco d'Assisi – Umbria International Airport a short drive from the city. Regular cultural events in the city include Umbria Jazz and the Eurochocolate festival. There is no national park or ski-lift area inside the immediate 15 km radius.
