Tour of Perugia

- full day (including the Archaeological Museum and the Hypogeum of the Volumni at Ponte San Giovanni

1. "Augusta Perusia": Perugia, as an Etruscan city, is a surprise because of the monumental character of the works from this era that are still substantially intact: the Walls, the imposing entrance gates (Porta Marzia and the so-called Arch of Augustus) the hydraulic works such as the famous "Etruscan Well", and the remains of the Acropolis under the Cathedral.

What makes the city unique is that it has preserved so much of the 'City of the Living' along with its necropolises. Don't miss a visit to the Etruscan Museum in the convent of San Domenico and a few kilometres from the city the Hypogeum of the Volumni.... Upon request, it is possible to book a visit to 'underground Perugia' with excavations under the Cathedral and a tour that includes the remains of the Etruscan Acropolis and the Roman city.
