About Assisi
Assisi rewards the first-time visitor who slows down: a hill town of pale stone, steep lanes and quiet squares built around the Basilica of St. Francis, where frescoes by Giotto and Cimabue still draw pilgrims and art lovers from everywhere. Getting oriented on foot early makes the rest of your stay easier, whether you join the Assisi: Walking Tour with St. Francis Basilica Visit or cover more ground on the Assisi: Panoramic Tuk Tuk Tour by Ape Calessino.

Frequently asked questions
Assisi is compact but built on a slope, so a guided introduction saves you time finding the Basilica of St. Francis, Piazza del Comune and the quieter lanes around Santa Chiara. Most first-timer tours pair the basilica with the main monuments and explain the fresco cycle as you go, which gives context you would otherwise miss walking in cold.
