WALKING TOUR ASSISI AND BASILICA TOUR
Assisi is surrounded by a strong aura of sacredness: the marks left by the passage of great historical figures are visible and obvious. The buildings, squares and monuments that saw the lives of St. Francesco and St. Chiara unfold can reveal fascinating and incredible stories to you, thanks also to our guide's narration. In the city, remains dating back to Roman times blend harmoniously with medieval architecture, as is the case with the facade of Santa Maria sopra Minerva. This small-group tour, lasting about 2:30h, will allow you to immerse yourself in the history of Assisi by following in the footsteps of the figures who made this city famous throughout the world.
ITINERARY
Stage 1: Meeting and Departure
The meeting point of the tour is in Piazza Inferiore di San Francesco, where the loggia of the square corners the road leading up to the Upper Basilica.
Stage 2: Basilica of St. Francis
The starting point of the Assisi tour is the Basilica of St. Francis, a place where one can admire a fusion of art, faith and history rarely equaled. The Basilica houses the remains of the saint who marked a turning point in Christian history, a turning point so epochal that it justifies the artistic richness of this place; from Cimabue to Giotto, both the Upper and Lower Basilicas are decorated with priceless frescoes that, thanks to the guide's narration, are appreciated in every small detail.
Stage 3: Piazza del Comune
Walking up through Assisi's medieval alleys, you can admire the Piazza del Comune with the Temple of Minerva, a perfectly successful union of the city's most important Roman temple and the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva.
Stage 4: Basilica of Santa Chiara
We move on to the nearby Basilica of Santa Chiara. The Gothic-style building is one of the symbols of the city and owes its construction to the citizens of Assisi who decided to dedicate a church to Clare of Assisi, the famous saint who followed in the footsteps of St. Francis. The white and pink color of the Subasio stones characterizes the splendid facade, which, especially at sunset, reflects the sunlight creating suggestive plays of light and shadow; a spectacle that gives peace and serenity to those who observe it.
Stage 5: Cathedral of San Rufino
The route ends with a visit to the upper part of the city, where the Cathedral of San Rufino is located, which, thanks to its splendid facade, is one of the greatest examples of Umbrian Romanesque churches.

Meeting point is at 9:55am in Piazza Inferiore di San Francesco, where the loggia of the square corners the road leading up to the Upper Basilica.

The meeting point of the tour is in Piazza Inferiore di San Francesco, where the loggia of the square corners the road leading up to the Upper Basilica.
Stage 2: Basilica of St. Francis
The starting point of the Assisi tour is the Basilica of St. Francis, a place where one can admire a fusion of art, faith and history rarely equaled. The Basilica houses the remains of the saint who marked a turning point in Christian history, a turning point so epochal that it justifies the artistic richness of this place; from Cimabue to Giotto, both the Upper and Lower Basilicas are decorated with priceless frescoes that, thanks to the guide's narration, are appreciated in every small detail.
Stage 3: Piazza del Comune
Walking up through Assisi's medieval alleys, you can admire the Piazza del Comune with the Temple of Minerva, a perfectly successful union of the city's most important Roman temple and the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva.
Stage 4: Basilica of Santa Chiara
We move on to the nearby Basilica of Santa Chiara. The Gothic-style building is one of the symbols of the city and owes its construction to the citizens of Assisi who decided to dedicate a church to Clare of Assisi, the famous saint who followed in the footsteps of St. Francis. The white and pink color of the Subasio stones characterizes the splendid facade, which, especially at sunset, reflects the sunlight creating suggestive plays of light and shadow; a spectacle that gives peace and serenity to those who observe it.
Stage 5: Cathedral of San Rufino
The route ends with a visit to the upper part of the city, where the Cathedral of San Rufino is located, which, thanks to its splendid facade, is one of the greatest examples of Umbrian Romanesque churches.
Meeting Point:
Meeting point is at 4:55pm in Piazza Inferiore di San Francesco, where the loggia of the square corners the road leading up to the Upper Basilica.
The duration of the tour is 2.30h.
