One Day In Assisi Itinerary
Here is my suggested one-day Assisi itinerary that covers the most significant attractions in Assisi.
Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi
The Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Italy and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The church is known for its beautiful frescoes by Giotto and other Renaissance artists.
Construction of the basilica began just days after Francis’ death in 1228. The greatest artists of the Early Renaissance converged on the basilica to decorate it. They created a new style of Italian art that would blossom decades later in Florence .
The basilica is divided into two levels: the lower church for pilgrims and the upper church for clergy.
In the lower church, completed in 1230, hidden lights do a masterful job of highlighting the blue starry ceiling and early Renaissance frescoes by Simone Martini, Cimabue, Pietro Lorenzetti, and (possibly) the great Giotto.
A stairway takes you from the lower basilica to the upper basilica. Built in the elegant French-Gothic style, it features stunning 13th century stained glass windows, the oldest in Italy.
The center aisle contains a famous fresco cycle attributed to Giotto and his school. It depicts scenes from the life of St. Francis The transept and the apse contain rare frescoes by Cimabue.
The basilica is also home to the tomb of Saint Francis, located halfway down the nave. Staircases on both sides lead to the crypt. There’s no coffin or sarcophagus. instead, his remains are inside a (heavily protected) stone pillar that you can walk around and touch.
There’s not much signage inside. So, you may want to book a small group tour or a private tour . They cover the basilica and highlights of the town.
There is no fee to enter the basilica. During high season, it’s open from 6:15 am to 7:30 pm.
Historic Old Town
Once you’ve visited the basilica, take a stroll through Assisi’s charming medieval streets. The main street, Via San Francesco, is full of local shops and cafes selling souvenirs and products unique to the area.
One shop worth checking out is Handmade Pottery Derutart, which offers beautiful ceramics featuring classic Deruta designs. You can even get a custom piece made with your name on it!
As you wander through the streets, you’ll eventually come across Piazza del Comune, Assisi’s main square. This bustling hub is home to some of the city’s top attractions, including the Temple of Minerva, Roman Forum ruins, and Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo, which boasts the 155 foot Torre de Popolo.
The 13th century tower is currently undergoing renovation, so it can’t be climbed at the moment.
Roman Temple of Minerva
But you can, and should, visit the Temple of Minerva. It’s a well-preserved ancient Roman temple that dates back to the 1st century BC.
The temple was once the centerpiece of Assisi and dominated its Roman Forum. It features six massive Corinthian columns at the front, which rest directly on the steps. The architrave, or main beam across the columns, once held a bronze inscription of the names of the supreme Roman magistrates.
Despite the interior structure being demolished in the 16th century to make way for the Church of San Nicolo, the facade of the ancient temple is preserved.
Roman Forum & Archaeological Museum
The Roman Forum and Archaeological Museum in Assisi are located next to the Temple of Minerva. For history buffs, this is a must visit on a one day in Assisi itinerary.
In 1836, the forum was discovered beneath the Piazza del Commune. It once served as the social, economic, and political hub of ancient Asisium.
Today, visitors can see archaeological artifacts from the forum on display in the Archaeological Museum, also known as “Assisi Underground.” On display are inscriptions, funerary steles and urns, fresco fragments, and several large Roman statues dating back to the 1st century.
After exploring the museum, visitors can enter a long tunnel to view the ruins of the ancient forum. Walking on glass walkways, you can actually see the ruins beneath your feet.
On the north side of the travertine walls, there are cisterns at each end, with two symmetrical stairways leading up to the temple.
The eastern side of the forum has a row of taberna, or large covered halls. You can also see a series of Doric columns from a portico that once surrounded the forum on three sides.
In the central part of the forum, you can see the remains of a tribunal and podium. This was where speeches were given and justice was meted out, while magistrates looked on from their surrounding seats.
Other ruins include a monumental cistern, a small temple dedicated to Castor and Pollux, a monumental fountain, and remains of a few shops.
This underground space is also nice and cool, making it a great escape from the hot Umbrian sun. Additionally, the space is well signposted in English for easy navigation.
Tickets are 5 euros. It’s open from 10:00 am to 5:30 pm.
Pinacoteca Comunale
If you are an art lover, you may want to visit the Pinacoteca Comunale di Assisi. It’s located in the Baroque era Palazzo Vallemani on Via San Francesca. The pinacoteca is mostly a museum of religious art.
It features a wide variety of Medieval and Renaissance artworks, including paintings by such renowned artists as Perugino and Pinturrichio.
Click here to book a ticket. You can also book a combined ticket for the pinacoteca, Roman Forum, and Rocca Maggiore.
There are several places near the Roman Forum where you can grab lunch. Ristorante degli Orti has an outdoor terrace where you can sample modern Italian cuisine.
You can also just grab a panini at a shop along Via San Francesco. Or get some pizza at La Piazetta delle erbe.
After lunch, head to the Cathedral of San Rufino, also known as Assisi’s Duomo. This where both St. Francis and St. Clare were baptized, and you can even see the baptismal font itself.
The church was rebuilt several times since the 11th century. Its facade and rose windows are masterpieces of the Umbrian Romanesque style. The interior, however, is all Renaissance with some lovely frescos.
Inside the cathedral, you can visit a museum, a crypt, and climb the campanile, or bell tower, all of which are well-organized and easily accessible.
The crypt is a vaulted space, which you can explore on a guided tour .
It contains ancient Roman structures, including part of a Roman house and a Roman cistern. The walls are decorated with frescoes, including scenes from the life of St. Rufinus and St. Francis
I recommend climbing the bell tower first before exploring the rest of the church.
The climb begins with a modern stairway, but the steps become somewhat uneven as you ascend. However, there are good handrails throughout, and a few landings where you can rest.
The climb is quite steep at the very end. But there are spectacular views from the tower. Unfortunately, there’s a metal screen, which gets in the way of getting good photos.
Next up on you one day in Assisi itinerary, visit the Basilica di Santa Chiara. The church is dedicated to St. Clare, the founder of the Poor Clares order. Construction of the basilica began in 1255, just one year after Clare was canonized by Pope Pius II.
It was built in the Gothic style over a pre-existing church. The rather muscular rampant arches on the side were added in the 14th century.
The church is made of pretty pink and ivory marble, and the interior is dark and decorated with Giotto-esque frescos.
In 1260, Clare’s remains were transferred to the basilica from the Church of St. George in Assisi. Her bones are now located in the basilica crypt, which is built with beautiful pink and green marble.
Clare is buried alongside the Byzantine cross of San Damiano, which Francis prayed to before receiving his mission from God. Additionally, Clare’s sister Agnes is buried in a chapel in the left nave.
If you’re planning a visit to the basilica, be aware that it is closed from noon until 2:00 pm. Before moving on, walk to the edge of Piazza Santa Chiara for a view of the countryside.
Polish off your one day in Assisi with a visit to the Rocca Maggiore in the late afternoon. It’s a fearsome fortress that dates back to the 13th century.
Charlemagne built it after conquering Assisi. Over time, the fortress was expanded and modified until the 16th century.
This rugged castle is full of surprises, including tunnels, hidden corners, and even a slightly cramped turret to climb. The fortress has played many roles in its history, serving as a residence, a prison, and a warehouse.
Reaching the Rocca requires a steep hike, but the effort is worth it for the stunning views of Assisi, its grand churches, and the Spoleto valley.
The fortress closes at 4:00 pm. So, be sure to start your hike well before closing time so to allow time to explore the impressive fortress.
But even if you arrive later, you can enjoy the views. From one viewpoint, you can see the town itself. From another, you can see the Basilica of St. Francis.
Porziuncola
Alternatively, continuing with the St. Francis theme, you could visit the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli just outside Assisi. It houses the Porziuncola, a humble chapel that was the very place where the Franciscan religion was founded.
Its name, meaning “small portion of land,” speaks to its modest size. The exterior of the stone chapel is adorned with frescoes painted by renowned artists such as Perugino. The interior of the chapel is also decorated with frescoes depicting scenes from the life of St. Francis.
Located behind the Porziuncola is the Chapel of the Transit, which is believed to be the cell where St. Francis drew his last breath. Within the chapel, you can find a statue of the saint standing on the very spot where he famously preached to a flock of doves.
You can reach the basilica by car or via a brief stroll from the train station.
Assisi is especially charming in the evening when the crowds have thinned out, and the town is illuminated with beautiful lighting. Take a leisurely stroll through the quiet streets and explore the town’s hidden corners.
To make the most of your experience, consider joining a guided walking tour offered by several tour operators. These tours provide a unique perspective of the town when it’s quieter and more peaceful.
While you’re out and about, make sure to stop by a wine bar and sample the local tipple. Enoteca Properzio and La Bottega del Buon Caffè are two popular wine bars where you can taste some of the best wines in the region.
And of course, no trip to Assisi would be complete without indulging in some traditional Umbrian cuisine. There are many excellent restaurants in town where you can savor local specialties like truffle pasta, roasted meat, or cheeses and wines produced in the region.
Il Vicoletto is a cozy spot located down a tiny lane with great food. Locanda del Podesta is a quaint restaurant with old world charm near the Basilica of St. Francis.
For spectacular views, you can eat at the Ristorante San Francesco Assisi or the Terrazzo di Porperzio .
Tips For A One Day In Assisi Itinerary
Here are some must know tips for spending a day in Assisi.
1. How to Get To Assisi
Assisi is situated in the Umbria region of central Italy. It’s only 16 miles away from Perugia and 112 miles away from Rome, which makes it an easy 2 hour drive from either city. Florence is also just 2.5 hours away.
Travelers can easily access Assisi by train as well. The town’s train station is located at the base of the hill on which the town is perched. Shuttle buses run frequently between the station and the town center, making it easy to get around.
If you prefer to drive to Assisi, park your vehicle outside the town walls. The centro storico , or town center, is closed to all vehicles except for residents.
Fortunately, there are several well-marked parking lots located on the outskirts of town, such as the Port Nuova or Matteotti lots.
If you park in one of these lots, you’ll arrive at the east end of the town. Keep in mind that the town is approximately one mile long. The beautiful Basilica of St. Francis located at the westernmost end.
2. Guided Day Trips To Assisi
If you don’t want to deal with the hassle of transportation, there are plenty of options.
You can book a small group day trip tour from Rome or a private tour from Rome . You can also combine Assisi and Orvieto on a day trip from Rome .
You can also book a day tour to Assisi (+ Cortona) from Florence .
3. How To Get Around Assisi
Assisi is a town that can be traversed entirely on foot. However, be prepared for some challenging uphill walks. The town’s layout is predominantly vertical, making it feel like a test of endurance for pilgrims.
To make the most of your visit, consider booking a guided walking tour. The Basilica of St. Francis lacks proper signage, so a guide will help you identify the frescos.
Additionally, keep in mind that Via San Francesco, the main street of Assisi, is often congested with traffic. Cars can be seen speeding by all the time. On the other hand, the side streets are peaceful and dedicated solely to pedestrians.
I booked this 2.5 hour private Assisi tour , which was fantastic. The guide was a fount of knowledge about Assisi and its history. You can also book a 3 hour small group walking tour .
4. Where To Stay In Assisi
Spending a night in Assisi provides a unique opportunity to explore the town without the crowds of day trippers, who make up 85% of its visitors. Fortunately, Assisi has a variety of wonderful accommodation options to choose from.
The Nun Assisi Relais and Spa is a romantic luxury hotel housed in a former 13th century convent. The Dal Moro Gallery Hotel is a hip designer hotel with a rooftop garden.
Another option is the Giotto Hotel , a tradition historic hotel right near the Basilica of St. Francis.
If you want to stay outside Assisi in the Umbrian countryside, the Valle di Assisi Hotel & Spa is right outside Assisi and has a pool and terrace overlooking Assisi.
Borgo della Marmotta is about 20 miles from Assisi. It offers rustic-chic rooms and apartments in a restored 17th century hamlet, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and gardens.
5. When To Visit Assisi
The best time to visit Assisi is in the spring or fall when the weather is mild and the crowds are smaller. The summer months can be hot and crowded, while the winter months can be cold and some attractions may be closed.
If you are interested in Assisi’s festivals, the Palio of San Rufino is held every August. It’s not a horse race like the Palio of Siena . Rather, it’s a crossbow competition among the three historic districts of Assisi.
You may also want to visit for the Feast of St. Francis. It’s an annual celebration to honor St. Francis. The celebration begins on the evening of October 3rd with a candlelit procession and ends with a solemn mass the next morning.
Another option is to plan your trip around the Infiorate di Spello . It’s a famous flower festival that takes place annually in late May or early June just a few miles away in Spello.
6. More Than One Day In Assisi?
If you have more than 1 day in Assisi, there are plenty of other things to do.
On the outskirts of Assisi, there are three other significant places you may want to visit: the church of St. Damian, the Sanctuary di Rivotorto, and the Carceri Hermitage.
The most convenient way to see all of these attractions is to drive to each of them. However, if you don’t have a car, you can still reach them by public transportation or taxis.
If you’d like to see more Roman ruins, you can visit the Villa of Mosaics, just 20 minutes away.
This remarkable villa is considered one of the most significant archaeological finds of the past two decades. The villa’s exquisitely preserved mosaics are among Italy’s finest, boasting intricate designs and vivid colors.
Today, the villa’s mosaics are displayed in a state-of-the-art museum featuring eight primary rooms to explore. Highlights include depictions of wild animals, mythological creatures, satyrs, and even a wine pouring scene.
You can also day trip to some other lovely medieval towns. I’ve written guides to Spello , Gubbio , Orvieto , and Civita di Bagnoregio that you can check out. For more ideas, you can also check out my 1 week itinerary for Umbria

Assisi (half-day)
Our guided walk through Assisi – justly acclaimed “crown jewel of the medieval hill towns” – encompasses its rich historical and artistic heritage. Not only: as the only American authorized Guida Regionale dell’Umbria , I’ll be pointing out the treasures of Assisi (of all our region of Umbria, of Italy!) that have fascinated me (as a “non-Italian”) and will fascinate you, too.
Our tour starts in the stunning 3-level Romanesque/Gothic Basilica di San Francesco built in the 13th c. to house the body of St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of Italy and most beloved of all saints for the Italians.
The greatest fresco masters of the late 13th-c. and early 14th-c. – Cimabue, Giotto, Simone Martini, Pietro Lorenzetti – were called to this Basilica to fresco Francesco, rendering this church one of Italy’s most outstanding art museums. A 13th c. historian wrote: “no more exquisite monument to the Lord has yet been built”: nothing has changed. While in the Basilica with me, you’ll learn all about the astounding fresco restoration project following the earthquake of 1997, considered among the greatest restoration projects in Western European art. I’ll show you the very spot where modern art was born (in 1300) and point out many artistic treasures you could miss. On October 4th, Feast of St. Francis , the procession in the Saint’s honor concludes here in the wondrous Basilica.
As we leave the St. Francis Basilica majesty to walk the backstreets of Assisi, I’ll show you fascinating architectural details you’d probably walk right past – and plenty of “local curiosities”! As we stroll, keep your eyes out for the many edicole in our town and look over the doors and windows for the “ Pax et bonum ” tiles. And you’d probably walk right past the 3rd BC Roman wall and Roman city gate I’ll show you near the Basilica di Santa Chiara (stunning 13th-c Gothic church). Learn about the treasures of the Basilica (those to note, those you could miss) before we head to the main piazza of Assisi. All the history of Assisi and every architectural style is synthesized here. (In May, this main square backdrops one Italy’s greatest medieval festivals, our Calendimaggio )! Piazza del Comune is the perfect place to conclude an Assisi stroll.
Anything missing? Just ask !
If you wish to meet “the locals,” see the work of local artisans – engravers, painters, scupltors, maiolica craftsmen, book-binder/restorer, a glass-painter, weaver, carver of olive wood – I know where they are; after all, Assisi has been my “hometown” since 1975. My aim in any medievalhill town guided visit: to enrich your Italy stay with countless treasured memories and insights. A promise.

Assisi/Spello: a Duo of Medieval Splendor (full-day)
After a full morning discovering the wonders of Assisi , “crown jewel of the medieval hill towns”, head to nearby Spello for an afternoon of uncovering the wonders.
Spello , che bello! Like Assisi, Spello is constructed in the local pink limestone quarried on Mt. Subasio, lending it a unique rosy hue, particularly at sunset. Discover the vestiges of Spello’s Roman origins, one of the most splendid Renaissance fresco cycles in Umbria, and in a nearby church, you’ll want to meet an inspiring local friar/craftsman.
Medieval splendors – the great ones, the lesser-known ones – highlight this day. Encounters with unforgettable local people make it a day to remember.

- ShortbreakMarch16 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Afternoon in Perugia We traveled from Assisi to Perugia via the monorail. I would highly recommend this form of travel between the 2 areas. Perugia was interesting. We only spent a couple of hours there. Long enough to go into church and visit the museum Pozzo Etruscan that housed the 3rd century BC well. Very interesting if you are interested in hydraulic engineering. There was also an antique/flea market with lots of curious items on sale. Just a shame the luggage allowance on flight home was not enough. Perugia is worth a visit. Read more Written March 8, 2024

I escorted my mother around and found door 7, which was closed and locked. After knocking and waiting about 5 minutes, I ran back around and found the main entrance door had also been closed and locked. When I returned to where we were told to go, a local saw us waiting and told us there was another door 7 for the winery. As a result, we had to catch up with our group and missed 15 minutes of the tour. Once we caught up it was wonderful to learn about the wines and region and we were treated to a lovely tasting and a bit of food. The wine was wonderful and our group ended up ordering some to have shipped home. The winery attendants were friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend a tour of the winery.

Rome to Assisi: How to Take the Train or Tour for a Day Trip!
TRAVEL GUIDE: ROME TO ASSISI, ITALY
A day trip from Rome to Assisi in Italy is a great idea, any time of year. You’ll find winding stone streets, restaurants, and shopping in the medieval hilltop city.
Key Info about a Day Trip to Assisi
- It’ll take about two hours to get from Rome to Assisi on the train.
- From the station, you’ll have to take a bus or taxi up to the hilltop city.
- Assisi’s top sites include pedestrian-friendly cobblestone streets, which are lined with stores and restaurants, plus its famous basilica and cathedral, and a 12th century fortress.
Rome to Assisi Tours: Hire a Driver or Guide
If you’re not into navigating Italy’s train system or driving yourself, it’s easy to hire a driver or guide to do all of the navigating for you! It’s easier, especially if you’re traveling with a lot of luggage or maybe someone with a mobility challenge.
➡️ Click to Book: Private Day Trip & Driver
- For under $400 per couple, a driver will pick you up at a hotel in Rome early in the morning, for a 9 hour day trip to Assisi. It’ll include a 2 hour 30 minute drive through the Italian countryside in Umbria. You’ll go to a few basilicas, and have time to walk around Assisi.
➡️ Click to Book: Private Driver: Rome to Assisi
- For around $350 per couple, a driver will take you from Rome to Assisi. You’ll get to choose your departure time, and it’ll take around 2 hours 30 minutes to get between the cities.
➡️ Click to Book: Rome to Assisi & Orvieto in One Day
- Visit both amazing towns in a single day trip!
Things to Do in Assisi on a Day Trip
It’s easy to spend a full day in Assisi, walking its winding, hilly streets. You’ll find a main square, lined with restaurants and shops.
Assisi is easy to navigate on your own, but if you’d like to learn more about the history and culture of the area, there are several tour options to choose from.
➡️ Book a Walking Tour of Assisi
- This is a three-hour walking tour of Assisi which gets excellent reviews.
➡️ Private Tour of the Basilica of Saint Francis
- You’ll learn about Saint Francis’ wealthy upbringing, to his visions to his dedication to the poor and sick. Inside the basilica, you’ll tour both the Upper and Lower Churches, where Saint Francis is buried. This is about a 90-minute tour in Assisi.
Assisi’s Duomo (Cathedral)
The Assisi Cathedral was built in the 1100s, and is where the baby who would become Saint Francis was baptized. Officially known as Saint Rufinus, the cathedral in Assisi is simpler and not as ornate as others you’ll find in Italy. Still, it holds a prominent spot in the Catholic faith.
Rocca Maggiore
The Rocca Maggiore is an ancient castle or fortress, which sits on the hill above Assisi.
You’ll see signs in town, leading you up cobblestone streets, eventually to a path which goes up to Rocca Maggiore.
The view of the Italian countryside from Rocca Maggiore is beautiful. You’ll see for miles in several directions across Umbria.
Inside the fortress, you can learn about the weapons, armor, and more, which were used a thousand years ago to defend the castle.
Truffles in Umbria
Truffles, known as tartufi on menus in Italy, and featured in a lot of meals.
This is something I missed out on during our day trip to Assisi, but plan to book for next time (maybe mostly to watch the dog work 😀):
➡️ Truffle Hunting Tour in Assisi
- A guide will meet you in the piazza, and take you on what’s described as a “meander” through “secret paths” in the the Umbrian woods nearby. It’s about a two-hour truffle hunting tour, and yes, the guide will bring his specially-trained truffle-sniffing dog!
Truffles are seen as a delicacy, but it’s not a taste appreciated by all. They can really overpower a meal! Italian olive oil, on the other hand, is loved by all. And the Umbria region is home to great olive oil.
➡️ Olive Oil Tasting
- This tour will take you from Assisi to the hillsides of Umbria, where olives are grown for oil. It includes a tasting, and a lesson on how to spot high-quality olive oils.
Food in Assisi
You’ll find no shortage of restaurants and cafes to choose from in Assisi. I’d suggest wandering off the main streets to find a restaurant that caters to locals, rather than tourists. Many of them have their own traditional brick ovens for pizza, along with homemade pasta dishes.
Plus, even during the winter months, it’s usually mild enough for restaurants in Assisi to keep their patios open for dining outside. We enjoyed a few glasses of wine and Prosecco at different cafes as we walked around town through the day.
Shopping in Assisi
Like many of the hilltop towns in Italy, you’ll find a mix of big international brands, and local touristy shops in Assisi.
You’ll find a lot of ceramics and art stores, along with olive oil and lavender shops.
The Train From Rome to Assisi
The train from Rome to Assisi will take two hours if you get a direct route. Having to stop and change trains in the city of Foligno will add an extra 30 minutes to the trip.
I’ve been using Trainline to book trains in Europe. It’s simple to search the train schedules and fares, and you avoid having to use the kiosks in the train stations. They send you a QR code to your text and email, which you have scanned at the station to board.
➡️ Click to Book Train Tickets in Italy
Trains depart from the Roma Termini station, from Rome to Assisi. Get to the station a minimum of 30 minutes before your departure. This way, you’ll have time to figure out the Trenitalia ticket kiosk (if you didn’t book ahead on Trainline) and walk to your platform.
Rome to Assisi Train: The Cost
The cost of a train ticket from Rome to Assisi will be 12 Euros in the main seats, sometimes known as “Ordinary Class.” First Class is offered on some trains, and those seats cost 18 Euros.
The difference in classes is minimal, and really boils down to having an assigned seat (versus having to search for an empty one). Plus, First Class seats usually come with a small table between them. Still, the seats themselves and the amount of legroom are the same.
Keep in mind: these are regional Trenitalia trains, not the speedy trains which are used to bring people from Rome to farther cities in Italy.
Once you arrive at the Assisi train station, you still have to get up the mountain to the city! You can wait for the C bus (Carducci 1, which runs every 30 minutes) or take a taxi.
You’ll find taxis right outside the train station. The drivers will charge between 15 – 18 Euros for a ride each way. It’s somewhat expensive, but efficient.
Drive From Rome to Assisi
The drive from Rome to Assisi will take about two hours and 30 minutes, depending on traffic. One route will take you up through the nearby city of Perugia. Once you arrive in Assisi, you’ll find around 10 public parking lots on Google Maps to choose from.
Hotels in Assisi
This post is focused on taking a day trip from Rome to Assisi, but the city has many options for travelers who’d like to spend the night. You can plug your dates into this interactive map to check prices and availability of both rentals and hotels:
Accommodations in this part of Italy are very reasonable. These three options come highly recommended:
📍 Hotel Fontebella
- This is a great option, right in the historic city center of Assisi.
📍 Hotel Cenacolo
- Hotel Cenacolo is a gorgeously-restored history property, near the train station in Assisi.
📍 Il Palazzo
- Il Palazzo is a beautiful, historic property right in the city center of Assisi. As for one of the rooms with an amazing view of the valley!
Assisi or Orvieto?
If you’re trying to decide whether you should take a day trip to either Assisi or Orvieto , I’d suggest trying to do both!
Personally, I think each city is worth a day for itself, but this tour will bring you to both in a single day:
➡️ Book a Driver: Rome to Assisi and Orvieto
While both Assisi and Orvieto are similar, in that they’re both hilltop towns in the Umbria region of Italy, there are a few main differences.
Assisi is larger in size and population than Orvieto. When it comes to tourism, you’ll encounter larger crowds in Assisi, too. The city is equipped with large lots for tour bus parking. Both have pedestrian-friendly streets, lined with shops and restaurants, but Orvieto feels more quaint.
While Assisi and Orvieto both have famous cathedrals, Assisi is more prominent in Catholicism because it’s the birthplace of one of Italy’s patron saints: Saint Francis.
Again, it is possible to visit both Assisi and Orvieto in one day trip from Rome. While it’s not possible to see both in the same day by train, you can certainly drive a car to both towns in the same day trip.
Christmas in Assisi
Assisi is known for its nativity scenes. Saint Francis is credited with creating the first one ever, so you’ll see nativity scenes setup all over the city.
The whole city is festive, with lights and garlands in the stores and restaurants.
Assisi’s Christmas Market website details the events to expect each December.
Winter in Assisi is still mild, with temperatures reaching the 50s and 60s (Fahrenheit) during the day. It’s been known to snow on occasion over the years, but for the most part, a winter visit to Italy will provide great weather for walking around and exploring new towns.
Here’s a chart of the average temperatures in this part of Italy during the winter months:
In general, much of central and southern Italy is still mild in the winter months, and you’ll find big cities like Rome and Florence lit beautifully for Christmas!
Wrap: Is Assisi Worth a Trip from Rome?
Assisi is definitely worth a day trip from Rome, if you’re in this part of Italy. There’s so much to do in Rome itself, but you won’t regret taking a day to get out of the city, and venture off into Umbria and everything Assisi has to offer!
Depending on your timeframe, I’d also suggest taking the train from Rome to Florence for a few days.
Using Florence as a base, you can take even more great day trips to cities and towns in Tuscany, from Pisa to Siena to San Gimignano (pictured below).

The five-day UNESCO Jewels tour was great! We saw a lot at a fast pace, and Clara is an excellent guide. Not only did she know a lot, she also informed of us of the things she didn't know, and they were taken care of by the local guides. Clara was also hilarious and friendly and really made the trip a blast. Pasquale is also—I think I felt one bump during the entire trip. Also, the free time was just the right amount: after seeing so many places in such a short time, it was nice to be able to stroll or even take a break at the hotel. My only complaint was that a couple of the meals weren't very good. However, the other meals were great! I highly recommend this trip and fantastic guide and driver.

A Taste of Italy: 8 Days
MIRACLE OF ASSISI It all started when my wife noticed she had left her mobilephone in the public restroom near The Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, in the bus which had run more than half hour after we left Assisi. Impossible to return. So, I called my wife's mobile phone from mine, and a man answered, but we could not communicate because he spoke Italian. When I asked our tour guide, Sabrina to replace me, she found the man was a friar, and the mobile phone was kept in the church office. OK, the mobile phone was safe, but how could we get it back? Then, Gigi, the driver of our bus, used the network of bus drivers, and wrote the scinario. Mr.A, the driver of the tour visiting Assisi the next day, would receive mobile phone from the church, and carry it to a sightseeing spot where he could meet Mr.B, the driver on the way back to Rome. Thus, the mobile phone was delivered to the hotel in Rome by Mr.B, before we returned to Rome. Thanks to Sabrina, Gigi and two other drivers - and also the anonymous woman who found the mobile phone in the restroom and brought it to the church -, the mobile phone was successfully relayed and we could fully enjoy the tour without sacrificing any of our itinerary. OTHER IMPRESSIONS •Hotels: Hotel St.Martin in Rome locates near the Termini station and was convenient. Hotels in Florence and Venice were far from the city center but not bad considering the price of this tour. •Meals: almost average. Lunch at Montepulciano was superb. •On the first day, "Rome at sunset tour" is offered. It is a night walking tour which visits several famous spot such as Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and so on. But I'd like to say, Visit Them In Daylight if you have time. Once again, Thanks to Sabrina and Gigi!
Mamma Mia! Best of Italy
I enjoyed the tour. It hit all major cities and the tour guides were amazing. I wish there were some sort of activities involved like pasta making or something to really do more.

Clara was AMAZING. She made the tour that much better. Along with the help of Antonio. The tour did say no more than 40 however there was definitely more so smaller would have been nicer.
Reviews of Assisi Tours
Tour really amizing, the driver and tour guid, food and location was very good, but a first day and last day hotel accomodation is not good very small shower, the bed is like rocking, the last tour scheduled from vasilica to collesium there no travelling car and is not good for us to take a taxi by our own and some a taxi driver is not honest.
The itinerary was fantastic, including a lot of prime destinations in a short period of time
What a fabulous day! Met at meeting place by Annalisa and John, (A.K.A James Bond.) Great tour guides and very professional. Safe driver. Stopped in Naples to view Mt Vesuvius and then on to a scrumptious lunch. Picked up Sacha along the way, who took us around Pompei ruins and was a brilliant guide. Was very knowledgeable and made Pompei come to life! Thoroughly recommend I Love Rome tours.

From Rome to Assisi: 4 Best Ways to Get There
Written by Diana Bocco Updated May 26, 2022 We may earn a commission from affiliate links ( )
The birthplace of St. Francis, patron saint of animals, Assisi is home to a number of medieval constructions; beautiful palaces; and historical churches and cathedrals, including the Cathedral of Saint Rufinus, dedicated to the patron saint of the city, and the 12th-century Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi.
Just 175 kilometers from Rome (an average drive of just over two hours ), the city of Assisi makes for a perfect day trip. Fortunately for travelers, many buses, trains, and tours connect the two cities, making the planning even easier .
Sitting right against Monte Subasio, Assisi is laid-back and easy to explore on foot, no matter what time of the year you're visiting. Whether you're there to see the stunning medieval architecture, walk the cobblestone lanes, or explore the religious heritage of the area, here's our list of the best ways to get from Rome to Assisi.
On This Page:
- From Rome to Assisi by Tour
- From Rome to Assisi by Train
- From Rome to Assisi by Bus
- From Rome to Assisi by Car
1. From Rome to Assisi by Tour
For a chance to explore two ancient cities at once, the Assisi and Orvieto Day Trip from Rome is a great choice. In addition to visiting medieval Assisi, this 12-hour-plus trip also takes you to Orvieto, populated since Etruscan times and well-known for its Gothic architecture.
The tour starts in the center of Rome , and you could be picked up right at your door if your hotel is centrally located. Once you board your air-conditioned coach, your English-speaking guide will greet you and share information about what's ahead as you drive north alongside the River Tiber.
After 1.5 hours, you'll have a chance to explore the town of Orvieto , built on volcanic rock and offering stunning views over the striking landscape of olive groves and green fields below. Here, you'll explore the Centro Storico (Historical Center) on foot, visiting the Gothic Orvieto Cathedral to see the beautiful stained-glass windows and mosaic murals.
Next, your driver will take you to Umbria, where you'll have lunch on the shores of Lake Trasimeno before you continue on to Assisi . In this World Heritage-listed town, you'll be able to visit a number of sites connected to the life of St. Francis, including the home where he was born and where he spent much of his life working for the church.
St. Clare, who followed St. Francis and founded the Order of Poor Ladies, was also born here, and you'll be able to learn about her own life and work when you visit the Convent of Santa Chiara. You'll also walk by other important sights in town , including the 14th-century Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo and the Roman Temple of Minerva.
After walking through the town, you'll stop by to see the 9th-century Santa Maria degli Angeli Basilica, built around the 9th-century little church, where young St. Francis used to pray. You'll then head back to Rome in the comfort of your shuttle.
2. From Rome to Assisi by Train
Trains to Assisi leave from the Termini station, located in the center of Rome and depart several times a day. Visitors have a choice between Alta Velocita (high-speed) trains and Trenitalia standard trains, which are slower and often require a change or two along the way but are also cheaper. Trains that require a single change usually stop in Foligno, an ancient town dating back to the 8th century BC.
Trains without a change along the way take an average of two hours to reach their destination, with changes increasing travel time by about 50 to 90 minutes. If you're going to Assisi for just the day, the direct high-speed trains make more sense, as you'll have more time to explore. Trenitalia trains traveling this route offer second-class seats only, which are comfortable enough but don't have a lot of extra legroom or space for big and heavy luggage.
Trains arrive at the Assisi station, a small but very busy station. From there, it's a 10-minute ride to the center of the city on a local bus. Get off at the Piazza San Pietro stop, from where you can take a walk through the city before you head over to the Basilica and explore the old town center.
The last train departs from Assisi at 8:47pm and doesn't arrive back in Rome until 11:42pm, so make sure you're up for the long ride if you choose this one.
3. From Rome to Assisi by Bus
Bus travel takes longer than trains, and it's not ideal if you're only going to Assisi for the day. There are several buses per day covering this route – the first one just after 6am – operated by companies such as FlixBus and Sulga Autolinee . Buses leave from the Rome Tiburtina Bus station and sometimes require a change in Perugia Piazza Partigiani station.
While direct buses can take as little as two hours, others might take three to almost four hours, depending on whether the stops/changes are immediate or you have to wait for the connecting bus. Even direct buses will make several stops (an average of four) along the way – you just have to remember not to get off.
If you're traveling directly to Assisi after arriving in Rome, there's a direct Sulga Autolinee bus from Fiumicino Airport to Assisi. It departs from the airport just once a day at 9am, and it doesn't run on Sundays. This is the cheapest way to reach Assisi from Rome but the trip takes four hours and 50 minutes.
Buses connecting Rome to Assisi are comfortable, with plenty of legroom, free Wi-Fi onboard, drinks and snacks, plugs for your electronics, a toilet, and ample space for luggage.
Buses stop at the Piazza San Pietro in Assisi, from where you can take a local bus to get you to the center of the city.
4. From Rome to Assisi by Car
If you're up for an adventure, driving from Rome to Assisi could be a fun way to explore the Italian countryside. The drive takes just over two hours and crosses plenty of areas that make for a great quick stop. If you're not in a rush, it might be worth stopping to explore along the way.
For example, just 30 minutes after leaving Rome, you'll drive by the Réserve naturelle de la Marcigliana, a natural preserve of rolling green fields, medieval farms and towers, and even ancient Roman burials. Continue driving to cross another forest, a number of medieval towns and churches, and the ancient hilltown of Narni, the geographic center of Italy.
Driving in Italy can be a bit overwhelming at first if you don't speak the language, but Italian road signs include a lot of pictorial descriptions and fewer words than the average road signs in other countries. If you're still unsure, car rentals at the airport are more likely to rent out cars with GPS.
Unless you only have a day in the area, car rentals in Italy are more affordable when you rent the vehicle for at least two days. Either rent the car the night before you leave Rome or find a small pensione to spend the night in Assisi before you head back the next day.

Heart Of Umbria Region: Explore The Mystic Towns Of Orvieto And Assisi
Let’s head to the heart of Umbria and explore the medieval town of Orvieto and the city of Assisi, which lies at the foot of Mount Subasio.
Orvieto rises on a tuff cliff and perfectly combines history, art and natural beauties. Marvel at the grandeur of the gothic architecture of the Duomo, whose facade is enriched by precious mosaics and sculptures that will take you to another world. Don’t miss the chance to visit also the inside of the church, with its colorful stained-glass windows and one the most famous frescoes of Luca Signorelli (please, note that the entrance ticket to the Duomo is not included in the price of the tour).
Another major attraction of Orvieto is Saint Patrick’s well : a true engineering masterpiece designed to provide a reliable water supply during sieges. Access the depths of the well with the two helical ramps and find yourselves right into another dimension (please, note the entrance tickets to the well are not included in the price of the tour). Get lost among the narrow alleys, explore the local squares and enjoy the typical medieval architecture of the buildings. Don’t forget to browse around the numerous artisans’ workshops: take the chance to bring home a unique artifact to remember forever the time spent in Orvieto.
After some free time, you will get back on our fully-fitted GT Coach and head to Assisi : one of Umbria’s most fascinating borgo. Assisi is the city of the Saints : Saint Francis and Saint Clare. It lies on top of a hill, once called Hill of Hell, “Colle dell’Inferno”, since it used to be the burial site of those who were condemned to death. They then changed its name to Hill of Paradise once they set the first stone of the Basilica of Saint Francis.
An expert local guide will lead you through the secrets of the city while you walk through its steep winding alleys. You will then enter the famous Basilica of Saint Francis, home to some of the best preserved frescoes painted by Giotto , Pietro Lorenzetti , Simone Martini and Cimabue . You will then enter also the Basilica of Saint Clare, one of the first followers of Saint Francis and founder of the Order of Poor Ladies. After the guided tour, you will have some free time to go shopping in the local small stores or to just chill in the main square, sipping a good coffee.
The last stop of the trip before eventually going back to Florence will be the Papal Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels : a majestic church built on top of the Porziuncola, a smaller church where the Franciscan movement originally started.
