Perugia, Italy - Chocolate Paradise in October

Perugia has much more to offer than just chocolate with history going back to the ninth century BC. Today Perugia, the capital of central Italy's Umbria region, is a cosmopolitan hill town with historic buildings, people-filled squares, and great views over the valley. Served by two train lines and buses, it makes a good base for central Italy travel. Perugia is one of my favorite Italian cities and one of our picks for Top Ten Cities to Visit in Italy.
