Perugia Through Steve McCurry’s Lens
A short escape devoted to photography, art and beauty in the heart of Perugia.
See Perugia from a different perspective.
Photography becomes the starting point for discovering the Umbrian capital.
Some photographs tell us far more than what we
see. The work of Steve McCurry, one of
contemporary photography’s most recognisable
voices, invites visitors to discover Perugia
through images, emotions and places worth
exploring.
Designed for lovers of art and photography,
this short break combines the cultural event
with medieval lanes, monumental squares,
galleries and some of the city’s most
photogenic viewpoints.
Photography, art and Perugia.
A compact cultural escape designed to combine the photography event with time to experience one of Umbria’s most fascinating historic cities.

Perugia, the art of seeing
Arrive independently in Perugia and check
into your accommodation. On exhibition
opening dates, discover the event devoted
to Steve McCurry and explore a visual journey
through people, places and cultures, with
particular attention to Umbria.
Afterwards, discover the city on foot.
Corso Vannucci leads to Piazza IV Novembre,
home to Fontana Maggiore, Palazzo dei Priori
and San Lorenzo Cathedral. Lanes, stairways
and panoramic terraces offer ever-changing
perspectives. Enjoy an evening at leisure,
perhaps sampling Umbrian cuisine.
Overnight stay.
Perugia, a city to explore
After breakfast, continue discovering
Perugia. Explore the atmospheric underground
passages of Rocca Paolina or visit the
National Gallery of Umbria, home to an
outstanding collection of regional art.
Those with a sweet tooth can also discover
the city’s chocolate-making tradition in
its shops or at the City of Chocolate.
Enjoy some final time in the historic centre
before departing independently.
Bring your camera, or simply your curiosity. Perugia rewards those who look closely: a medieval arch, sunlight in a narrow street or an unexpected view can turn an ordinary walk into a photographic adventure.
