Perugia by car

Perugia occupies a hilltop wrapped in Etruscan walls, reached by escalators bored through the medieval foundations. Umbrian hill villages lie in all directions, close together on the map but separated by slow, twisting climbs.

Driving in Perugia

Perugia is reached by E45, SS75 and SS3 Flaminia. The centre of Perugia is closed to through traffic. Parking in the centre is paid and marked by zone. Driving through the centre is restricted, so most drivers park on the edge.

Where to park

Piazza Partigiani holds the main car park for tourists, and from it a chain of escalators climbs through the Rocca Paolina to Piazza Italia in the old town. The Pian di Massiano car park near the football stadium is a terminus of the driverless MiniMetrò, which carries passengers up to the centre.

Arriving by road

Perugia sits just off the A1 autostrada linking Rome and Milan. Restriction zones ban driving in the city centre at certain hours, and the hilltop Centro Storico is practically closed to cars without a confirmed hotel booking. Around it, slow cobbled one-way streets and confusing signs make it easy to end up circling.

From the airport without a car

Perugia AirLink buses link Perugia Airport with the city centre, and the service also provides transfers to the centre of Assisi.

Frequently asked questions

Italy: which side of the road do they drive on?

On the right. Speed limits are posted at the roadside and differ between towns, open roads and motorways.

Which currency will I be charged in?

Prices are usually set in EUR. The rental company sets both the price and the deposit, and shows them before you book.

Can I drive the car into another country?

Often yes within the EU, but never assume it. Crossing a border has to be allowed by the rental company and usually costs extra, so check the terms before you book.

Is there a low-emission zone in Perugia?

The centre of Perugia is closed to through traffic rather than filtered by emissions.

Where do I park in the centre of Perugia?

Parking in the centre is paid and marked by zone.

Do I need an International Driving Permit?

A non-EU licence must be accompanied by an International Driving Permit.

What are the speed limits in Italy?

50 km/h in towns, 90 km/h on open roads, 130 km/h on motorways.

Are the motorways tolled?
