DAY 1

Start your trip exploring the beautiful city of Perugia, the capital city of Umbria. Famous for its medieval architecture, charming streets, super tasty chocolate, and delicious food. 

I suggest you to arrive here the night before so that you will start your day fresh and ready to explore.

Morning:

Wake up and head to "Pasticceria Sandri", a historical bar and pastry shop that from the moment you walk in, will captivate you with its ceilings embellished with a vault frescoed by a pupil of Perugian painter Annibale Brugnoli.
