Popular for its delightful hilltop setting, Perugia is the capital of the charming Umbria region of central Italy, an area bordered by Tuscany to the west and the north, Marche to the east and Lazio to the south. Blessed with many fine old buildings, the city was a thriving metropolis long before it came under Roman rule, with extensive sections of its ancient walls still standing. As the centre of the Umbrian school of painting in the 15th and 16th centuries, it's no surpise to find that art predominates most people's sightseeing agenda, with the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria (National Gallery of Umbria) a particular favourite for visitors. Chronicling the development of painting in Umbria from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, the museum collection includes works by Perugino, Pinturicchio, Benedetto Bonfigli, Bartolomeo Caporali, di Cambio and di Duccio. Housed in a former Dominican monastery, the Museo Archeologico Nazionale dell'Umbria is an archaeological treasure trove with pieces dating back as far as 16 BC. Perugia's cathedral is the 15th-century Gothic hall-church of San Lorenzo, a magnificent building that is notable for its 15th-century choir-stalls and several old frescoes. Perugia is perfectly placed for visitors looking to explore Italy's hinterland and/or visit some of the countries most important cities. With a car hire in Perugia, for example, you are within striking distance of San Marino (just 90 miles north of the city), Florence (95 miles north-west) and the capital Rome, which is 110 miles due south of Perugia, about a two-hour drive.
