Visiting Assisi, Italy: What to Expect

Explore Assisi in Umbria with us, from its narrow streets and the Basilica of Saint Francis to the quieter surroundings of San Damiano. We share what to expect when visiting, how to get there, and whether to make it a day trip from Rome or allow time for an overnight stay. If you find our videos helpful and would like to support the channel, you can use the Super Thanks button below the video. Our visit was inspired by the 800th anniversary of Saint Francis’ death in 2026. Along the way, we explore the places connected to his life and take time to enjoy the town beyond its best-known sights. In this video: • Assisi’s historic center, steep streets and narrow alleys • The Basilica of Saint Francis and its frescoes • The Chiesa Nuova and Saint Francis’ childhood home • Traditional Umbrian food at reasonable prices • A visit to San Damiano beyond the historic center • Transport options and planning a day trip or overnight visit San Damiano — visitor information: [https://www.visit-assisi.it/en/monume...](https://www.visit-assisi.it/en/monume...)
