Perugia tips
Our Perugia hints and tips will have you feeling like a local in no time.
Best time to visit
Make the most of Perugia’s traditional Mediterranean climate. In terms of weather, the months of May to early October are preferable, although this is understandably a busier time of year - especially when festivals are on. From May through to September, there’s the lowest rainfall on average and pleasant warm temperatures whilst July and August are the hottest months. However, due to its higher altitude, Perugia can be subject to chillier evenings, even during the summer. In the springtime, witness the ‘green heart of Italy’ flourish and bloom or see the patchwork hills begin to change colour in early autumn. If you do travel to Perugia during the winter, be sure to pack some layers.
What language do locals use?
Italian is the official language of Perugia, but locals will likely have a distinct Umbrian dialect – as you’d expect in most regions of Italy. English is also widely spoken, although learning a few simple Italian phrases and greetings is always helpful.
Umbria’s provincial highlights
Often overshadowed by neighbouring Tuscan cities, the picturesque hill towns of Umbria are equal rivals in terms of their culture, history and natural beauty. From Perugia, visit the picture-perfect towns of Assisi, Orvieto and Spoleto and discover the charms of Spello, Todi or Gubbio. These intimate locations offer an authentic insight into local Umbrian life, away from the tourist hubbub. Since the towns are within a few miles distance of one another, you can easily journey from one to the next – whether it’s via train, bus or car.
