Spoleto was a great visit, starting with the escalators which allowed easy access to main areas of the city by avoiding steep uphill walks. What a fantastic system! Took the escalators to the central part of the city for awesome paninis and local vino, and then to the main attractions. After reaching the castle (La Rocca) we soaked in the spectacular views of the incredible Ponte delle Torri and the surrounding areas. Did not walk to it but I think that you can actually walk thru the Ponte across the canyon to the other side.Such an impressive structure that has lasted centuries, a must see!

After being unable to walk the ancient aqueduct in Genoa, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to do so here in Perugia - with significantly easier access! From just behind the Duomo I picked up the staircase that led down to the aqueduct. I walked until the end which was practically at the doorstep of Piazza dell’Universita. Along the aqueduct I passed lovely old homes and buildings. The views from this lofty perch overlooking the ancient city were magnificent. An absolute must-do when in Perugia.
