Perugia is a gem. It is amazing that the city isn't overrun with tourists! I have had so many experiences where I didn't know much about a place and was just overwhelmingly surprised by it. I think Perugia is one of those places.
I'm Italian, from Perugia and I can tell you there's so much more to see and explore in this wonderful town...apart from the stereotypes you mentioned and many more which were mentioned in the video (mob, pasta, ravioli....really??) making its quality really poor.❤ IT P.S. I'm Italian but I cannot play Mandolin and I don't know anyone who can do it 😂
@@ZauberinNini I am from United States of America a US American US Citizen and I want to visit Italy please give me any recommendations and tips on how to save money and how tot ravel to Italy how to book a flight months in advance the best way possible and where to stay hotel or hostel or a house I can rent?
He could spend a year there and still be producing quality videos that fascinate, but he moves, moves, and moves always only grazing the surface of random places around the world.
I' m Greek and I love Italy. Beautiful country, endless options, endless beautiful towns and cities. I hope you spent some time there to explore. I would love some "Italian" videos
Some years ago I was in Italy for three months following a university European programme. We had many cultural similarities, especially in the way we see family and relationships. Italians are more elegant in some ways. We are both cultural. Italy feels abroad but not stressing. I understand and speak basic Italian.
Hi from italy, Gabriel! Besides the strict walking part, in Perugia there are several things to see, e.g. the big gothic-looking building in the main piazza contains an amazing paintings gallery focusing especially the medieval period (roughly speaking); wether for walking or art history, I can guarantee that any place in italy you could land in, there's something significant to see within one-hour ride, max. in most cases, half an hour. there's literally no end to the things to see, especially if one is interested in historic architecture and art history. I'm certainly not young and still discover places to visit on weekly basis. e.g. in the same Umbria there are many historical towns (including Assisi and Orvieto) but also many very tiny places (probably less fitting a walking-centric approach) with some amazing art and yet still unknown to the masses; and very green too only for the fun of it, I'll mention one random super-tiny super-quiet village there I recently stumbled on: Spello. known for 1. infiorata 2. the tiny Baglioni chapel, frescoed by Pintoricchio (desperately pretty) 3. a roman patrician house recently excavated
I love your channel but I find your comments on Italy hilarious! Did you know that Italy was all separate kingdoms until unification. Each region is like a mini country, with its own culture, food and architecture. You’ve got a very American view of Italy. Florence is one of the most beautiful if not the most beautiful city in the world. Venice conquered the world 100s of years ago, Milan is an international powerhouse city, Rome the cradle of civilisation. Napoli which one of the most important cities in the world at one point. You could spend 1 year exploring Italy and still have so much to see 🇮🇹
Yeah the history in all of these places I visit is intense, you could spend a lifetime just focusing on any one particular region of the world. Sounds like Italy was similar to India in some ways, small kingdoms that were unified into one country.
Gabriel Traveler , wherever you go, it's always very interesting and from the heart. I'm almost 60 and backpacked extensively in my 30s. Next March I'll be backpacking again...a lot more slowly this time, haha. It's videos like yours that help keep the love of travel and life in general alive.
Perugia ❤❤❤ I went to school there 3 summers ago!!!! U must go on the mini metro!!!! Another wonderful little town nearby called Gubbio! Bellissomo!! (the underground fortress you walked through: people lived there! Streets, etc.!)
*@Jann* ~Hi! I'd had a friend at Uni, in London, who'd also done some of her Uni courses at Perugia too. She was quite fluent in 'il Italiano' - which certainly helps, of course - and she absolutely loved it; i know that she would frequently return for "extended visits": can anyone blame her ({; D ...?!!
Idaho has some great places to explore, forests, rivers, lakes and hot springs. The trick to exploring is if you don't have the money or time to go far, there's probably somewhere pretty cool you haven't been to right in your backyard.
*@Aimee Burch* ~Awww... ; from what i understand though, Idaho *is* [ said to be ] quite 'scenically beautiful' actually; but of course, am afraid i don't really know ({: \ ...?! But i'm sure that you'll get to travel 'someday' too ({: D ...!!
q there is plenty of stuff to see here. It's just not my type of beauty. I am a ocean type of girl not snow and mountains which is what me have here. I am hoping to travel more when my daughter is older or out of school.
Thank you for bringing up some very happy memories. I studied there in the `1960s when I was just in my 20s. We students used to gather on the steps of the Cathedral (S. Lorenzo) just facing the great fountain. at 6 pm the street from the fountain to the balustrade overlooking the valley is Corso Vanucci, if I remember correctly. The closure is/was to turn the street into a promenade for pedestrians. If I've got the name wrong, I am now about to turn 80 - so it was a long time ago. And I recall that in the 60s of the last century there was no escalator in the Rocca Paolina. It was quite a climb, so I wouldn't dare to atempt it now. There was always something going on. I recall several organ concerts in the cathedral given by the famous Fernanso Germani. And I also attended a performance by the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. They gave Berlioz's L'Enfance du Christ. To save cash I used to eat in what we called the communist Food Kitchen. Coincidentally, when I returned to Dublin, Ireland I joined a large choir and the first big work they gave was the same Berlioz piece. Again, thanks for reviving the memories.
Calzone is named after a pair of trousers. Caleçon in French. Checked it, seems to be underwear, the shape should be similar. Eurail now has got global passes for 2-3 months. prices 829 $ 2 months, 1023 $ 3 months. But seems they also charge for every boarder transfer, as you need reservations for it. You probably know more about it.
I seen on DW a couple days ago EU gave free Summer Eurail passes to a select group of young adults encouraging them to go explore. It is a bit too pricey and they still wouldn't be able to afford rooms, food, and entertainment prices for hostel dorms easily go $50+ a night now where one needs a couple hundred dollars or Euros per day. I went in 2011 my last visit and probably won't go again for it's all becoming so expensive as is America as well which I no longer travel in either.
I did get a little dizzy watching this but it was well worth it. I loved the tour through the town that captured my heart 17 year ago when I was 24. I meant to do a language course for 6 months and ended up staying for 3 and a half years.... I know every corner shown on this video. Oh so many memories... ;) Thanx for that Gabriel, I'm all nostalgic now!
One of the best travel clips I've seen in a long time. You don't place yourself in the forefront but the town you want to show. And you caught Perugia's atmoshere in a breathtakingly accurate way. Unfortunately (for you) you seem to have missed my favourite restaurant, but I admit it is very difficult to find. Have you tasted Perugian chocolate? It's excellent.
These videos are the best you really feel like you are there in real life! You have inspired me to start my own UA-cam channel of me exploring European countries myself 👍😊
Nope, haven't been to any of those countries yet. I almost went to San Marino while I was in Italy last week but decided it was a little too out of the way this time.
Hi Gabriel, Italy has such amazing architecture that still is in very good condition. I'm wondering who checks all those buildings and how do they maintain those structures many of those structures must be over a hundred years old.
You need to do a trip of just Italy. You could easily spend a month there and not see everything. For example I have been to Rome 5 times, and there are still things I haven't seen. You are headed to Pisa which is not far from Cinque Terra, and that is a must see. Something which I think is just up your alley for the type of things you enjoy, from what I know of you. Go! You won't regret it.
Italy certainly deserves more time, however I'm going to lesser-known countries next so it was just a quick trip through Italy. The summer is coming to a close and I want to explore and film some places people haven't heard much about before.
*@Sila Bluemoon* ~Italian (language) truly is "gentler/softer" - and, more 'mellifluous' - than the Spanish, it's true; i actually pretty much find both to be lovely, though [ ...like you'd 'asked' me, right ({; D ...?!! ]

Thank you for another great tour round an interesting place. The way you film makes me feel as though I'm walk8ng around myself. Have you been to Sicily? I'd put Inspector Montalbano on my list of Italieny things.
That night scene with the arched outdoor areas makes my brain tingle in the best way. I'd almost want to spend a week there sleeping all day and then wandering around all night purposely getting lost in those alleyways
oh my..all the places you have been so far ARE known. except your winter trip, but then go there now and you see all the eastern european counztries filled up as well. oh my.
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Hi Gabriel! Perugia is definitely a beautiful city.. I love old cities and the buildings are amazing! 🤣🤣🤣 The Mob, Sopranos, Fiats, gotta love it Gabriel!!! Thank you- Thank you-Thank you, for giving us a view of the Catacombs of Perugia! How was the Spinach Ravioli? It looked good. Thank you again for taking us along on your tour of Perugia, Italy. God Bless you! Take care..🌟😊🌟
I would love to see that encounter. Show him around a bit. I'm sure he must get lonely. Introduce him to a few locals. He needs to connect with the people more.
@@swinderby Perugia is a very picturesque city, it doesn't get that much of attention since it's overshadowed by our big competition, Tuscany......but in my opinion Umbria (the green heart of Italy) is as pretty as Tuscany....the only thing missing here is the sea! Climate change is working on that.....
@@swinderby You´re more than welcome! I´m very happy to show my beautiful city to people! You won´t be disappointed! I suggest you to come during Umbria Jazz which happens at the beginning till mid July, every year.....tons of great musicians from all over the world
Hey Gabriel love your videos man! I've been watching for years , you really inspired me to make some travel videos of my own. All the best man keep up the great work!
Matera would be the "unique" place to go...but is south...the old city built from previously occupied caves that have been renovated and modernized...bella bella. But good tour...and your Florence video was nice too
Perugia and Baci chocolates comes to mind when I see you were in Perugia. Sadly, Meredith Kercher, Amanda Knox and kind of a weird prosecution/judicial system in Italy also come to mind. But, yeah, the architecture and those arches, and the restaurant at the base of them, were amazing.
*@Bill King* ~Oh, yes: the "scandal at Uni da Perugia"...! Are you a Brit too (?); i am actually, btw. But, that truly was a dreadful occurrence, no? Were both she and her boyfriend found guilty, or just him - am afraid i can't really recall ({: \ ...?!
@@alexysq2660 I'm American and, yes, horrific. I think they still have the one guy in jail but I'm not sure. Amanda Knox was in the news again because, naturally with some controversy, she recently got married in Seattle and set up a gofundme page to pay for her wedding.

Perugia, indeed, is one of the most beautiful cities in Italy, but it is not a "small town", and it deserves more attention. Gabriel Traveler" shows a lot, but unfortunately he doesn't know much about art, architecture and history. So much more can and should have been said and shown !
Hello, this is a nice video about Perugia, but I think you missed a couple of important places in perugia, but overall this is a very nice video 👍 ( I'm from Perugia by the way)
Well there is.. Paris Demark, Paris Kiribati, Paris Ontararo, Paris Texas, Paris Panama maybe he was just telling us which one since he travels so much🙂
Heeey that's my city! Good pick bró! If you still there try to go to Trasimeno lake, or to Assisi or drop me a line and I can suggest to you cool places by what your interests are 😁
oh no...again in a hurry? people to meet places to see? you miss a lovely country...all over again. what a shame. i wonder whats the reason, you don't seem to book much in advance...so what is that drivenness about?
If you were a soccer fan you would have heard of Perugia. By the way Ryanair is called the aerial cattle truck. Is that how you found it? Italian is the closest to Latin - segretaria = secretary. Secretary of the stall perhaps. The only few different words to latin I find is for example Chiesa - church which I through would be like Iglesia in spanish.
I would love for you to head over to Thailand next (since that is my next vacation and I would love a updated Gabriel Traveler series to help plan the rest of my trip) but I have a feeling you’re going to stay in Europe orrrrrr maybe move onto Mongolia 🇲🇳 which would be totally epic.
Mongolia is so high on the list. Not sure if I'll get there this year since I have other places planned for the next couple months and summer is the best time to go.
Florence definitely, top 5 most beautiful cities in the world. Worth spending more than a few days there. Not to be rushed. Also an hour away from Pisa for ~€18 return
Perugia is a gem. It is amazing that the city isn't overrun with tourists! I have had so many experiences where I didn't know much about a place and was just overwhelmingly surprised by it. I think Perugia is one of those places.
The whole country is like one big museum. You can´t beat Italy really on so many levels. More than pizza and the Godfather for sure..
I am italian and can confirm, my own country stuns me everytime.
I'm Italian, from Perugia and I can tell you there's so much more to see and explore in this wonderful town...apart from the stereotypes you mentioned and many more which were mentioned in the video (mob, pasta, ravioli....really??) making its quality really poor.❤ IT

Hello from Perugia
I never heard of Perugia either untill i seen a webcam on YT from the main plaza in Perugia. It is sure so beautiful!
Classic very nice video footage from Gabriel, well done my friend!
Wonderful that you are in Italy. Wish you were going to the Le Marche area in the eastern part of Italy. A beautiful part of the country.
Wow Gabe the Escelator into the Catacombs is exactly what i think of in Europe. Stunning
~Wha... ; but, not the "Perugia Metro" down that escalator ({; D ...?!
Great city to carefully stumble around drunk in, especially on a cool Autumn night. It helps to have Google maps to guide you home.
Thank you for your efforts and really nice comments on your journey. Very enjoyable indeed.

Hi Gabriel, Italy has such amazing architecture that still is in very good condition. I'm wondering who checks all those buildings and how do they maintain those structures many of those structures must be over a hundred years old.

I would love to see that encounter. Show him around a bit. I'm sure he must get lonely. Introduce him to a few locals. He needs to connect with the people more.
@@swinderby Perugia is a very picturesque city, it doesn't get that much of attention since it's overshadowed by our big competition, Tuscany......but in my opinion Umbria (the green heart of Italy) is as pretty as Tuscany....the only thing missing here is the sea! Climate change is working on that.....
@@JackBuzzMusicZone Maybe I'll meet you for a beer or five when I come to Italy next year!
@@swinderby You´re more than welcome! I´m very happy to show my beautiful city to people! You won´t be disappointed! I suggest you to come during Umbria Jazz which happens at the beginning till mid July, every year.....tons of great musicians from all over the world
Hey thanks a lot for the offer, but I'm in France now. The videos are delayed about a week.
Another worth it vlog..
Nice one..
Good luck gab..
Hey Gabriel love your videos man! I've been watching for years , you really inspired me to make some travel videos of my own. All the best man keep up the great work!
I agree these videos are so addictive 😊
@@richardwhelan8193 Definitely!! Really fired me up to get out there and travel, Cheers!
Love it
@BIRMZE I'm so close just to telling my boss to stuff his job and go travelling myself
@@samanthawilliams1189 Do it! :D
I just went to Athena last year~Thanks for showing~💕
How was it?
Matera would be the "unique" place to go...but is south...the old city built from previously occupied caves that have been renovated and modernized...bella bella. But good tour...and your Florence video was nice too
Good choice dude😎
Perugia its one of the most beautiful cities in Italy🔝
Congrats for the video from Firenze (Florence)
One of the most lovely cities I have seen in Italy, sad it is mostly remembered internationally because of the Meredith' story
Spectacular!
Loved this place!
👍 Your travels never cease to amaze me!
Perugia and Baci chocolates comes to mind when I see you were in Perugia. Sadly, Meredith Kercher, Amanda Knox and kind of a weird prosecution/judicial system in Italy also come to mind. But, yeah, the architecture and those arches, and the restaurant at the base of them, were amazing.
*@Bill King* ~Oh, yes: the "scandal at Uni da Perugia"...! Are you a Brit too (?); i am actually, btw. But, that truly was a dreadful occurrence, no? Were both she and her boyfriend found guilty, or just him - am afraid i can't really recall ({: \ ...?!
@@alexysq2660 I'm American and, yes, horrific. I think they still have the one guy in jail but I'm not sure. Amanda Knox was in the news again because, naturally with some controversy, she recently got married in Seattle and set up a gofundme page to pay for her wedding.
@@BillKing3456 ~omg...! Wow, t a l k about a 'cheeky' Brit, her ({: o ...! Gives yet another perfect definition to the (Yiddish) word "chutzpah"; which had - 'up til now' - been: the kid who murders his parents, and then throws himself upon the 'mercy of the court' - *as an orphan* ({; D ...!! Scandalosa, no...??!
@@BillKing3456 ~And, is *she* American, btw...? I do recall that 's o m e body involved' was British; or was that (tragically enough) "the victim" only??
@@alexysq2660 Meredith Kercher was British. Amanda Knox is American.
Very very cool. 80's - 90's travel style cool.
Perugia, indeed, is one of the most beautiful cities in Italy, but it is not a "small town", and it deserves more attention. Gabriel Traveler" shows a lot, but unfortunately he doesn't know much about art, architecture and history. So much more can and should have been said and shown !
I' m sorry you are in Perugia in the wrong season, in spring with the lessons at university the night life is really fun.
Lovely old buildings.
Was Perugia part of Papal States before unification in 1861? Greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
Ciao.. Gabriel... Grazie mille for this beautiful video... Saluti... 👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hello, this is a nice video about Perugia, but I think you missed a couple of important places in perugia, but overall this is a very nice video 👍
( I'm from Perugia by the way)
Looks like a nice place.
My nana family from this area. It’s a place I want to visit.
Great job, Gabriel.
I love the way Americans feel like they have to say, "Paris, France" as if we are going to mix it up with, Paris, Texas, lol.
🤣🤣
It's true! They also say "Athens, Greece" . There are two or three "Athens" in the USA... It's ridiculous.
Well there is.. Paris Demark, Paris Kiribati, Paris Ontararo, Paris Texas, Paris Panama maybe he was just telling us which one since he travels so much🙂
@@sunny_dhende6289 Really? Now do you really believe what you're saying.
@@sunny_dhende6289 By the way, where are, Paris Demark and Paris Ontararo?
Heeey that's my city! Good pick bró! If you still there try to go to Trasimeno lake, or to Assisi or drop me a line and I can suggest to you cool places by what your interests are 😁
Your video makes me want to visit Italy!
Beautiful
oh no...again in a hurry? people to meet places to see? you miss a lovely country...all over again. what a shame. i wonder whats the reason, you don't seem to book much in advance...so what is that drivenness about?
Enjoyed it. Thank you.
sir i watch ur every videos... i like it
Thanks for sharing
If you were a soccer fan you would have heard of Perugia. By the way Ryanair is called the aerial cattle truck. Is that how you found it? Italian is the closest to Latin - segretaria = secretary. Secretary of the stall perhaps. The only few different words to latin I find is for example Chiesa - church which I through would be like Iglesia in spanish.
Looks very nice there Gabriel 👍
Magnífico video!!! Bravo!!!❤
cool intro font!!
They have a great Cocolate Festival there late summer
I would love for you to head over to Thailand next (since that is my next vacation and I would love a updated Gabriel Traveler series to help plan the rest of my trip) but I have a feeling you’re going to stay in Europe orrrrrr maybe move onto Mongolia 🇲🇳 which would be totally epic.
Mongolia is so high on the list. Not sure if I'll get there this year since I have other places planned for the next couple months and summer is the best time to go.
Florence definitely, top 5 most beautiful cities in the world. Worth spending more than a few days there. Not to be rushed. Also an hour away from Pisa for ~€18 return
After Perugia I went to Florence and then Pisa: ua-cam.com/video/nlWU_vwiMD4/v-deo.html
Love your travels
Amazing!!!
Check out Matera,Gabe. A place like you never have seen.
I checked it out, looks amazing. Maybe next time I'm in Italy.
I would have loved to have seen what was inside those spinach ravioli! I mean, was it only spinach, or was there cheese, as well?
Yes, spinach and cheese. Very tasty.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos What sort of cheese, please?
...... and Assisi, Orvieto, Spoleto?...... and also Trasimeno lake?... ok you will visit next time.
Grazie mille... Bellissimo... Take care of yourself... Saluti... ❤️
