Best Base for Umbria

On its own Perugia may not appeal to you. But having used it as a base for Umbria explorations. I can confidently tell you that it offers a lot of advantages. Not to say that there is nothing on its own to offer. You will still get your dose of historical sights. Most of which is concentrated around its centro storico. There is a very lively square in town which you can't help but notice. I used to walk further down from here to the park area of Giardini Carducci. This place has a lovely atmosphere and would offer great views to the historic city. From here one could walk towards the cathedral. The centre of the piazza is embellished with a beautiful fountain: the Fontana Maggiore which was originally designed in the 13th century. The attractive Loggia di Braccio adorns the area next to the steps while the southern end of the square is dominated by the magnificent Palazzo dei Priori. I think there is enough activity around Palazzo dei Priori to eat up most of your day. Should you have more days in hand or say time before you set off to other day trips. I think Baglioni, Piazza italai and the likes of Porta del sol would be very much interesting to touch. #myhiddengems #umbria #italy #cherryblossom2024 #summerdestinations #qualityoverquantity #100waysoftravel #singapore #europe
