Città della Pieve
Half a day is enough to see the cathedral, Perugino frescoes and the narrowest street in Italy. Use it as a stop between Rome and Florence or as a day trip from Perugia.
Città della Pieve is a small Umbrian hill town known for its red-brick buildings, the birthplace of Renaissance painter Perugino. The compact historic centre can be explored in a few hours: the Duomo, the Oratory of Santa Maria dei Banchi with its 28-day Perugino fresco, and the famously narrow Via della Baciadonne. The town comes alive in summer with the Infiorata flower carpet (June) and the Palio dei Terzieri archery contest (August). Most visitors arrive by car from the A1 motorway or by train to Fabro or Chiusi, then a short bus or taxi.

Rules in force · 8Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- Italy and Malta ↗The region's headline sights run on timed tickets that sell out: book the Vatican Museums, the Colosseum, the Uffizi, the Last Supper and Malta's Hypogeum before you fix train and hotel dates.
- Italy and Malta ↗Budget for per-night city taxes in Italy (up to about €10 a person in Rome), Malta's per-night environmental contribution, and Venice's day-visitor fee on peak days; none are included in most online room prices.
- Italy ↗Italy is in the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; the EU's Entry/Exit System registers non-EU visitors at the first Schengen border, and further pre-travel authorisation rules are being introduced.
- Italy ↗Historic centres are ZTL limited-traffic zones: cameras fine any unauthorised car that enters, often months later through the hire company. Park outside and walk in.
- Italy ↗Regional train tickets bought on paper must be validated in the machine on the platform before boarding; digital tickets carry a time and need no stamping.
- Italy ↗Venice charges day-visitors an access fee on selected peak days; check the city's official site if you are not sleeping there.
