Perugia over Rome | Why Perugia is our favourite Italian city

We stayed in Italy for 3 weeks, basing ourselves in Perugia (right in the centre of Italia when you look on the map) and visiting Florence and Rome for a weekend each.

Perugia was by far and away our favourite though, it's the perfect 'la dolce vita' Italiano experience without the crowds. The food is cheaper, the air is cleaner, the surrounding landscape is un-bel-iev-able and the people are lovely. Plus the mini-metro (the cute transport system that gets commuters up the hill) is a big kid magnet! Total novelty every time you ride it.

If you're ever in Italy, don't miss Perugia, plus the big sites like Florence and Rome. Perugia is a hidden gem.
