A lively medieval walled hill town that is Umbria's main city. The historic center abounds with cultural and architectural masterpieces and offers one of the most extensive museum collections in Italy. Perugia is famous for chocolate and holds its chocolate festival, Eurochocolate, in mid-October. It also hosts a huge international Jazz Festival, the Umbria Jazz Festival that runs for two weeks in July and Music Fest Perugia, two weeks of classical music performances in historic monuments and churches in August. As a matter of fact, most visitors say that a truly pleasurable experience is to wander through the narrow streets and along the walls at the edge of town for views of the valley. It is also a good base for visiting other hill towns in Umbria such as Assisi, Spello, and Gubbio.
