Plenty of parking just off the superstrada. A comfortable ride up into the city centre. Only draw back is that it closes quite early in the evening - best check times as they do alter on special occasions.

From the train station, within walking distance is the Mini Metro, which whisk you up to the Old part of the city in minutes, and for little cost. It is all automated, even buying the tokens to use on the Metro is automated. Fun & efficient mode of transport.

Great engineering! This was an excellent way to get from the train/coach station to the old city, with little trams every 2 minutes. However, it was not very clear where it was in relation to the train station - a large sign with arrows would help!

Now I am not the kind of person who loves metros. I would put all my energies into depriving a town from having one and I possess a particular aversion to the ones in London and New York. Not so Perugia. This tiny metro was designed by a famous French engineer and consits of two driverless carriages at a time... More

It is absolutely gem! it helps go around town...especially if you are slightly over 50...Perugia is 'up and down' town and minimetro helps a lot.

The mini metro is a perfect way to get from the town centre to the railway station and to the Saturday markets at the sports stadium

We are still giggling about an incident that occured on the mini metro. it is a great way to get to the top of the hill, or back own to the main railway station, to get trains back to Rome. Ok, we had used it a few times, and my husband and daughters and I arrived at our stop. We... More

This automated one-car service starts out in Perugia's suburbs, with stops at parking areas and the railroad station, and ends in the center of town at the top of the hill. It costs a euro and a half (you buy tickets from a machine), and everything works perfectly. The car could hold about a dozen people, but wasn't that full... More
