A day in Assisi
A day in Assisi, is the perfect way to breath some of the best Umbrian heritage!
Here are some of our ideas to make it unique:
A day in Assisi with the MONKS TOUR (to be booked in advance)
To experience really the best of Assisi: go first of all to the Information Office of Basilica of St. Francis Piazza S. Francesco, 2 06081 Assisi (PG).
To get there the best is to park at Giovanni Paolo II Parking (Parking A of Assisi).
Better to book the tour at leas a couple of day in advance:
Tel. (+39) 075.8190084
If the monks are all booked, don’t worry you can always rent the Audio Speaker at the Tourisitic Office.
