What to expect
Your guide meets you and navigates the hillside streets at a leisurely pace, stopping at key artworks and explaining the historical context. You'll spend significant time in the Collegio del Cambio studying Perugino's frescoes—his use of light, composition, and the figures he painted. Then you'll descend into Rocca Paolina's vaulted chambers, a fortress buried beneath the city. The walk covers medieval Perugia's layout and points out details most visitors miss. Expect cobblestones, some slopes, and a few stairs in older buildings.
