Assisi is most known as the home of St. Francis, found. It’s been a settlement for over 3000 years: first the Umbrians (hence the name of the region) and the Etruscans before the Romans took over.
Assisi is striking: there’s a beauty in its cobblestone streets that’s unlike anywhere else I’ve been in Italy. Make sure to also give yourself time to meander!
Churches
Thanks to St. Francis and St. Clare, Assisi is a major pilgrimage location. All the churches in Assisi are free, so I'd say take the time to see them all. If you need to prioritize, my favorites are the Basilica di San Francesco and Santa Chiara.
Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi

Basilica built in honor of St. Francis! A must visit. Often crowded, but it’s free to enter and very beautiful.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater!
I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where!
I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too!
If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you!
My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny.
I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!
