Via Ripa di Meana
The whole place is on a steep slope. Going down is like descending the circles of : as you get down it gets darker and darker, and action gets more and more open . People don't even bother hiding in the bushes: they do everything on the path, eager for others to join in.

Via Tancredi Ripa di Meana, Perugia Wheelchair: Not accessible
Suggest an editThe guide
Where exactly
Within walking distance from the city centre. From Via 14 Settembre take Via Ripa di Meana and walk southwards about 500mt. You'll see a parking lot on your right and, after a bend, another bigger parking lot: cruising takes place in the parks on both sides of it and also in the parking lot itself (if you are by car).
Cruisiest spot: The bigger park on the other side of the street. You go down the slope through the gap in the wooden fence, or a small street. The upper park (just below the church!) and the parking lot are mainly pick up spots: action takes place in the bigger lower park, or elsewhere.
When to go
From sunset till about midnight, week-end evenings are the busiest. Occasionally also during the afternoon. Can get quite crowded during summer nights.
Etiquette
Be discreet when you are in the parking lot: people might just be parking their car. The parks are instead very cruisy, and there are virtually no dog walkers, families or whatsoever after dark.
Safety
Some muggings have been reported. The place is at its safest when it is at its busiest. If you see some police cars driving around, they're looking for petty criminals, not for you.
