# Siena to Perugia: Practical Info

Perugia, capital of Umbria, is a 2-hour drive east of Siena. As a day trip it is feasible but tight.

Key facts

By car: 1h45 via SR2 + E45.
Public transport: complex, multiple changes. Plan for 3-4h.
Highlights: Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria, the chocolate factory tour (Perugina), Corso Vannucci.
Better as a stop between Siena and Rome on a multi-city trip.
Pair with Assisi (30 min from Perugia).

What I tell visitors

Treat Perugia as a base for Umbria, not a Siena day trip. The drive is long for what you see.
