Each October Perugia turns its historical center into a chocolate lover’s paradise. The streets are lined with vendors selling anything and everything having to do with chocolate. Chocoholics will find small vendors selling their own recipes as well as big names like Lindt, Milka, and of course Perugia’s own Perugina brand famous for Baci. Live music, demonstrations, and information sessions take place throughout the exhibition. If you’re not a fan of sweets, don’t worry because there are also several vendors selling sandwiches, pizza, and any other typical Italian street food. Don’t miss the opportunity to see Europe’s chocolate fair and discover the artistic and historic sites of Perugia. This year’s dates are October 14 – October 23 from 9 AM to 9 PM (until 11PM on Saturdays).
