Perugia

approx 45 mins, 50km

Home to the National Museum of Umbria, one of the great painting museums of Italy, and is a wonderful town for walking, shopping and eating in.  It also has a good archaeological museum with (among other things) fine Etruscan artifacts.  Etruscan tombs at the Ipogeo dei Volumni are on the southern edge of the city, just off the motorway/raccordo (SS75) towards Tuscany.  Notable international Jazz Festival during summer and winter, and (thanks to Perugina) a very large chocolate festival.
