Perugia can also be reached by landing at the Fiumicino Airport, which is around 200 km away.
From the Fiumicino Airport we suggest taking a direct bus to Perugia, operated by the company “SULGA”. From the International terminal T3, in order to get to the bus stop, one must turn right and walk straight for 150 meters. The bus is white and has the company name "Sulga" written on the side. The first bus leaves in the morning and the last one in the afternoon. After stopping at the Tiburtina train station, it takes about 3 hours to get to Piazza Partigiani in Perugia.

Validating your ticket
When taking trains in Italy, it is important to remember to validate your tickets. To do this you must stamp your ticket using one of the yellow machines found on platforms or in the entrance hall of the train station.  You must do this just before getting on the train.
When arriving in Perugia by train, please note that the main station is “Perugia”, not “Perugia Ponte San Giovanni” (a suburb of Perugia) or “Perugia Università” (out of town, near the Engineering Department).

Getting around Perugia

The main headquarters of the Università degli Studi di Perugia are just a 5-minute walk away (downhill) from the city center. There also buses, the minimetrò and public escalators that can help you move around. 
Tickets can be purchased at every news-stand or tobacconist shop and can be used both for buses and the minimetrò.  Remember that tickets must be validated before boarding. To validate your ticket you must stamp it using one of the machines situated at the front or back of the bus or at the entrances of the Minimetrò stations.  Tickets have a validity of 70 minutes after said validation, regardless of the number of bus or minimetrò rides.

Bus

The bus network in Perugia is quite extensive, reaching all the most important places such as the hospital, train station, and shopping malls.  For routes and timetables, please consult www.umbriamobilita.it
Printed booklets of bus schedules can also be obtained at the ticket booth in Piazza Italia, Piazza Partigiani and at the Perugia Fontivegge Railway station.

Minimetrò

In 2008, Perugia introduced the new minimetrò system reaching several destinations within the city as well as the area of the Stadium, where the Engineering Department is located.
For routes and timetables, please consult www.minimetrospa.it.

By Car: ZTL (Restricted access areas)

Most Italian city centres are overcrowded and unsuitable for a large amount of traffic.  To solve this problem, the Italian government created the Z.T.L. (Zona traffico limitato) or Limited traffic area, where cars can enter only during certain times of the day.  In Perugia the times allowed are: Monday to Saturday from 1 pm to midnight and on Sundays and public holidays from 7 am to midnight.  Guests staying in hotels located in the city center can enter the ZTL at any time. Unauthorized entry to this area of the city will result in a fine.
