Town in Italy
Assisi
3 things to see
Assisi is a hilltop Umbrian town where the Basilica of Saint Francis (free entry) houses some of Italy’s most important frescoes in a peaceful, timeless setting. The medieval lanes and stone squares cost nothing to wander, and the views over the Umbrian valley are free from the upper town. Easy to pair with nearby Perugia on a budget loop through central Italy. Spring and autumn bring fewer crowds and gentler prices than the summer pilgrimage peak.

Things to do in Assisi
What each one costs, where the cost is known.
Piazza del Comune
Assisi's main square is built over the old Roman forum and features the remarkably intact Temple of Minerva, now a church with free entry. The piazza connects the town's medieval layers and serves as the natural starting point for exploring on foot.
Rocca Maggiore
The medieval fortress crowning Assisi's hilltop rewards the steep climb with sweeping views across the Spoleto Valley and the Umbrian plains. Even without entering the paid interior, the approach walk through quiet lanes and the free panorama from the walls are worth the effort.
