Things to do in  Assisi

Welcome to Assisi

Birthplace of both Saint Francis and Saint Clare, Assisi is one of the most atmospheric medieval hill towns in Italy. Pilgrims and art lovers travel here to admire the UNESCO-listed Basilica of Saint Francis and its groundbreaking fresco cycle by Giotto, but the town is also a treasure trove of Roman ruins, medieval architecture, and sacred Franciscan sites. In the surrounding hills of Umbria, the scenic patchwork of vineyards, olive groves, and farmland is a paradise for wine tours and tastings, cooking lessons, truffle hunts, and home dining experiences.
