Problem
I was in Perugia earlier this year, one of the world's most stunning cities, with a tall cliffside entrance. It's the capital of Umbria. A walled city with sloping cobblestoned streets, boutique shops.

I would love to be there now because they have a chocolate festival.
If you miss it, you'll just have to make do with a Perugia pastry shop. This is what I found. I wanted to eat all of them.
The Italian word pasticceria means confectionery.
How to get there? I was taken there on RyanAir from Stansted. To get a cheap flight you need to book in advance and be flexible on dates. If you've missed the chocolate festival this year, think about going next year.
