Question

What places can I visit near Perugia? Any other touristic cities near Perugia?

Answer 1

It depends on how long is your staying but I guess you'll have not time enough to visit all of them. I've been there at least 5 times for a couple of weeks each (Xmas holidays) and I've not finished to see all...!! The region of Perugia (Umbria) is not that big and all the cities are not so far from Perugia.

I wish you've a car to enjoy the country while you're travelling from one spot to the other one.Trains and bus connections are not easy overthere.

Here are just a few cities worthy with a visit and  listed as they come to my mind:

Passignano,other small villages and the Islands of the Trasimeno lake.

Orvieto (Etruscans tombs and the Duomo)

Foligno (medieval town)

Todi (nice ancient village)

Cortona (is in Tuscany but not so far from Perugia)

Spello (nice ancient village)

Assisi (St. Francis home with the famous Church)

Cascia

Norcia

Terni ( with Cascata delle Marmore and Fonti del Clitumno)

Deruta (famous for the majolicas - ceramics)

Gubbio

Umbertide

Città di Castello

Spoleto

I guess having forgot a few names but I feel this could be enough for a 2 months visit...!!

Answer 4

for some awesome ceramics, hand made, head to deruta!!  and we loved the time we spent in spoleto, exploring.  if you check on the website ahead of time, there is a man-made waterfall by the ancient romans in terni.  but it is only running certain days each month, the rest of the time it is diverted to a hydroplant.

Answer 5

You can easily and cheaply get to Siena by bus from Perugia. Closer yet, is Assisi where you can visit the tomb of St. Francis. And if the timing is right, you should go to the Eurochocolate festival in Perugia in October.
