The Perugia City Guides answer the questions every visitor to the Umbrian capital has: where to eat torta al testo and hand-rolled pasta without paying tourist prices, how to read a city built in layers from Etruscan walls to a buried papal fortress, where the students drink after dark and which hill towns are an easy train ride away. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look at and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Civico 25
Via della Viola 25
Careful, seasonal cooking on one of the old town’s most charming lanes: creamed salt cod, strangozzi with the sauce of the month and a list of natural Umbrian wines. Eat on the outside steps in summer or under candlelit vaults in winter. From the food guide.
Studio Moretti Caselli
Via Fatebenefratelli 2, by Piazza Italia
A family of stained-glass makers has worked in this house since 1859, and one of them walks you past the kilns, the original drawings and a glass portrait of Queen Margherita. Few visitors know it exists. From the things to do guide.
Isola Maggiore
Lake Trasimeno, by ferry from Passignano or Tuoro
A car-free island with one village street, a lace-making tradition and a footpath that circles it in under an hour. Saint Francis spent a Lent here, and a small chapel remembers it. From the day trips guide.
Play the game, then use the guide
World City Trail’s Perugia scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour lead you through the historic centre. The guides take over when you finish: a torta al testo on the cathedral steps, a glass of Umbrian wine in a cellar bar, a train to Assisi the next morning or a chocolate museum when it rains.
