Perugia is a city in the Italian region of Umbria.
It is a city full of international students and the university faculties are scattered all over the city.
Perugia is also a small city – nothing like Rome or Florence, so there’s no need to worry about any kind of traffic, but at the same time it’s very cultural: there are tons of beautiful historical places around Perugia.
The center of the city is a medieval citadel on the top of a hill, obviously modernized, but you can see very old architectures near for example a bar, and you can visit most of the ancient places for free while you are walking around.
It is a gorgeous city and lively, too: it hosts two important festivals: the Eurochocolate Festival (every October) & Umbria jazz (every July).
Warnings & Dangers in Perugia
OVERALL RISK: MEDIUM
Perugia is generally very safe to travel to but be on the lookout. Petty crime does occur, especially during the holidays and summer.
TRANSPORT & TAXIS RISK: LOW
Taxis and other means of transportation are, overall, very safe to use in Perugia, but be on the lookout for pickpockets and other petty thieves.
PICKPOCKETS RISK: MEDIUM
Pickpocketing and bag snatching have been reported and such cases occasionally happen, as do cases of valuables theft when left unattended or in plain sight in an unattended vehicle. Be cautious when handling money or other objects of importance.
NATURAL DISASTERS RISK: LOW
There haven't been any natural disasters in Perugia or its vicinity in the recent past so you can relax completely when it comes to natural risks.
MUGGING RISK: LOW
Violent street crime rarely happens and even if it does, it is usually performed by unarmed criminals. Still, avoid abandoned and poorly lit areas.
TERRORISM RISK: HIGH
It is best to stay alert and aware of your surroundings in Italy, since its neighbors, France and Belgium, have been victims of terrorist attacks. However, Italy hasn't suffered from such occurrences.
SCAMS RISK: MEDIUM
Scams do happen, during the holidays and summer when the number of visitors increases, so double check your change and negotiate everything in advance.
WOMEN TRAVELERS RISK: LOW
Perugia, like other popular European destinations, is very safe for women travelers, so no need to worry there. Just don't do what you wouldn't in your own country.
So... How Safe Is Perugia Really?
Perugia isn’t exactly the safest city in Italy, but it isn’t dangerous either.
What strikes as weird most visitors who come to Perugia are the unfriendly people, usually with some kind of forced politeness – that usually sticks until you get to know them.
Just like all popular Italian cities, Perugia is a safe city, too.
Violent crime is rarely reported and tourists are not likely to have any incidents involving anything more than petty crime.
Pickpocketing is the most prominent form of crime that represents a threat for tourists, especially since pickpockets often work in teams or are in some sort of a deal with the street vendors.
A similar thing happens with beggars – they work in organizations and because of that begging is pretty common in major Italian cities, but tourists are unlikely to experience aggressive beggars.
Be especially cautious in public transportation or crowded places such as train stations, bus stations, restaurants or airports, and tourist landmarks because this is where the muggers might try and snatch your bag or steal your valuables.
Mugging and bag snatching is a serious problem in Italy, and you should be aware of your surroundings at all times because they might try distraction as a tactic to steal from you.
Visa is not required for any stays shorter than 90 days, and members of the EU (Schengen) can stay in Italy for as long as they like. Be sure that your passport is valid for at least six months from your planned date of return to the country you're visiting. However, if you are not sure about your visa status, contact your local Italian embassy for further information.
Currency
Currency in Perugia is the euro, like in most popular European destinations. Sightseeing and visiting all the remarkable landmarks in Bologna can add up to a high budget. Take into account that you'll need about 70€ per day, including accommodation.
Weather
The climate is warm and temperate in Perugia, and it has a significant amount of rainfall during the year. In Perugia, the summers are short, warm, and mostly clear and the winters are long, very cold, and partly cloudy.

Medieval feels
Of all the places I’ve visited in Italy, I feel like Perugia was were I didn’t feel the most comfortable roaming around alone. Thankfully I made friends with a local who was a friend of a friend, and told me that pickpockets are quite aplenty lurking around for tourists who aren’t too careful. I love the architecture there though, medieval feels.
¡°Me? Oh¡ª¡± Did the man hesitate, Sandy wondered. It seemed to be so before he continued. ¡°I¡¯m Everdail.¡± ¡°You did just what I wanted,¡± he said. ¡°Let¡¯s get the airplane in. Then we can talk.¡± Both chums read the box he thrust under their eyes. Arizona had its full share of murder and sudden death. But New Mexico had more than that. Spring passed on there, with warmth for the snow-wrapped mountains, and blistering heat for the dead plains, and her way was marked with lifeless and mutilated forms. GEORGE III. "Yes," answered Shorty. "And I was out late last night." LOST IN A MAZE OF RAILROAD TRAINS. Shorty shoved the bill into his hand, and rushed down in front of Billings. "Well, I for one am goin' through, and I'm goin' to take Pete and Sandy with me," said Shorty, in a loud, confident tone, to brace up the others. "I've always gone through every one o' them things I've struck yit, and this ain't no worse'n the others. But we ought to jump 'em at once, while they're shiverin' over the shelling' we give 'em. They must be shakin' up there yit like a dog on a January mornin'. Why don't we start, I wonder?" "I ask you if you're afraid of me and I get the beginnings of a self-analysis," Dr. Haenlingen said. She walked three steps to the desk and sat down behind it, her hands clasped on the surface, her eyes staring at the younger woman. "If I'd let you go on I suppose you could have given me a yard and a half of assorted psychiatric jargon, complete with suggestions for a change in your pattern." "Now, wait a minute," Dodd said. Norma had been brain-washed into some silly set of slogans: it was his job to break them down. "The clan can elect leaders¡ª" The second piece of land had thriven better than the first. The hops were sturdy and promising beside the brook, and on the higher grounds the new pastures fattened. Reuben had decided to dig up a couple of his old grass meadows and prepare them for grain-sowing in the autumn. The soil was good, and it was only his father's want of enterprise which had kept so much of Odiam as mere grazing land. As for the cows, there was ample provision for them on the new pastures, which Boarzell would continue to yield, even if it refused oats¡ª"But I'll have oats there some day, I reckon," said Reuben, "oats, and barley, and maybe wheat." Richard flushed with pleasure. After all he was not acquitting himself so badly with this fine lady. They talked together for a few more minutes, the boy trying to clip his speech like hers. He noticed how much shorter and crisper it was than his¡ªwhile he said "d?an't," she could say "don't" twice. Something almost like a sob shook Reuben. Then, ashamed of his weakness, he raised his head, and saw that behind Boarzell the night had lifted, and a cowslip paleness was creeping into the sky. The great dark hump of the Moor showed clearly against it with its tuft of firs. A faint thrill stole through Reuben's tired limbs. Boarzell was always there to be loved and fought for, even if he had no heart or arm but his own. Gradually hope stirred as the dawn crept among the clouds. The wind came rustling and whiffling to him over the heather, bringing him the rich damp smell of the earth he loved. Reuben shook his head. HoMEÍêÕûÒ»¼¶AÃâ·Ñ¿´Æ¬

Italy : Safety by City

Extremely safe City
Lol, I come from Italy and can assure you that Perugia is safer than Rome, Milan, and Naples.
