The route is popular with both tourists and Italian residents, and is served by different types of public transport. Buses and tourist shuttles - a good option for those traveling alone or as a couple, for young people navigating the country and knowing the language, as well as for those who need to reduce their vacation budget.
Advantages of buses and shuttles over other types of public transport
Typically the cheapest option. Travel by bus is either comparable to other group modes of transport (for example, the train), or is 5–15% cheaper than any alternative.
Drive to a stop where you can easily get to the desired location. And in the case of a tourist shuttle, perhaps even to the hotel. Shuttle Buses from major transport hubs they leave for the most popular destinations and pass through the central areas of surrounding cities and resort places. For example, from the stop where a bus from the airport takes a tourist, it will be possible to get to any desired place with at most one more transfer. Kiwibuses tourist shuttles in a number of destinations transport tourists to holiday destinations, rather than dropping them off in the city center.
Mini-excursion while on the road. The bus does not travel quickly and has stops. In some tourist buses and shuttles there are escorts who brighten up the trip by telling you about the sights.
Disadvantages of buses compared to other types of public transport
Crowded during peak hours. Since buses are the most affordable option, they are used by most tourists who are not willing to spend money on a taxi. You may have to travel with your luggage on your lap or even standing. Group shuttles fill evenly and lack seating almost impossible, however, there may be problems with luggage space.
There may be no tickets. For the same reason - buses are popular in Italy, so tickets for them need to be purchased in advance, without expecting to find them on the spot.
Day six, last
*I realized that I wouldn’t make a writer, or rather, an internet graphomaniac for sure. I just can’t pull myself together and finish the final two posts. And I get angry with myself and keep putting it off...*
Now there will be a little multi-booking, because this is the case when a city is not just an item on the tour program, a word on a road sign, a cheap Chinese magnet, but a little more: preparation for a personal meeting, recognition, communication. With the city, yes.
I read about Assisi, I stopped by for a day on one of my previous trips, I wanted to visit it again, and now, having visited it a second time, I still want to live there for a few days. Despite the fact that it was this city that once again illustrated the famous “you can’t step into the same river twice” - come to the same city. And here is a mirror thought from Fry: “It is impossible to return - someone else always returns instead of us.” Maybe these two statements make trips to already familiar places interesting and inviting.
At first, I simply admired online photographs of the snow-white walls of the Basilica of St. Francis against the backdrop of a bright blue sky and read about how Assisi, ancient, significant, escaped the bombing of World War II, was heavily damaged by a powerful earthquake in 1997, for centuries remained a center of attraction for true believers thanks to to its famous native - Francis of Assisi with his sermons to birds and "Flowers".
1. So, let's get started. Assisi is located in the province of Umbria, a little away from railway station. The photograph taken near the Basilica of St. Francis shows a panorama of the plain below, the dome of the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, built around the "Porziuncula" - a small chapel in which St. Francis died in 1226 (and then it was already old). So we didn’t get to the basilica, it seemed to be located very close to the station, but somewhere beyond the tracks, in general, every time the city on a hill beckoned, then there was little time left before the infrequent train to Rome.
2. Technical details. While still planning this trip, I gushed to everyone else about what a beautiful, interesting town Assisi is, so the three of us decided to spend our only full day in Rome on a trip to Umbria.
It was necessary to be in time for the morning cheap and fast train, so we hurriedly had breakfast, came to the station and stood in line for tickets. However, we were immediately hospitably “conned” out of a few euros: a tanned, nimble new native took us to the ticket machines, poked us at the buttons, gave us tickets, and politely but firmly kept the change (about 5 euros, it seems) for himself...
But because there is no need to stand at a Roman train station with an expression of extreme inferiority and confusion. We sighed, decided to count the lost change as another tourist city fee and went to look for the platform from which the train to Perugia leaves.
It immediately became clear that this platform, 1-2 est, is one of the last, and besides, it starts much further than the others. You need to keep this in mind and enter the station building not 5 minutes before the train departs - you will be late. At the end, the three Balzac ladies even had to go for a run.
We drove a little over two hours. Several young Americans were sitting next to us. At first they honestly tried to write an essay about their trip to Rome, then they started talking about girls and girl friends, about the need to treat them and their desires with respect - these were very young people.
There was snow on the mountains around, it was sunny but windy.
3. Those who get off the en masse train rush to the bar at the station. There you can buy coffee and bus tickets to the city (1.30 euros). The bus stops right there and, as far as I remember, its schedule is coordinated with the railway. The drive is about 10 minutes. Basically, amateurs hiking They can walk there, but the road there is not particularly picturesque, there is no point in wasting time. Yes, and you will have to climb the hill. Here, in the panorama of Assisi, taken from the platform, the Rocca Maggiore castle at the very top of the hill is clearly visible. And the city itself is located a little lower on the slopes, in the shape of a sausage. At one end, on the left, the Basilica of St. Francis and the Sacro Convento monastery are white, and on the other, on the right, several churches are visible, from the very edge - Rocca Minore (we didn’t go there, it was a bit far, and it wasn’t too interesting), just below you can see the bell tower Santa Chiara, and a little to the right of it is the dome of San Rufino. The bus coming from the station stops at one end and at the other, in Piazza Matteotti, from where you can go to other cities in the neighborhood (for example, to Spello, where we lived last time, or to Perugia). The distance seems great, but in reality everything is nearby.
4. Before my first visit to Assisi, several years ago, I also read a description of the city by G.V. Morton, and while sitting in a hotel in Spello watched Liliana Cavani's film Francis (1989) with Mickey Rourke as Francis and Helena Bonham Carter as Chiara. And, although the city itself is almost not shown, and the action takes place either in winter or autumn, they constantly wander there and freeze in their canvases, but the necessary mood, not indifferently bored, appeared.
There is another film about Assisi, an American one, The Assisi Underground(1985), about the role of the Catholic Church in saving Jews from the Nazis in 1943. It, unlike “Francis,” was filmed in Assisi (and in Perugia). Did not see.
Returning to the right mood: last time we came to Assisi in July, it was very hot and there were a lot of people. A dense crowd of tourists, pensioners and schoolchildren walked from the stop to the basilica. However, the crowds did not bother us at all. Ancient city as if he was floating above their heads and was perfectly visible and audible, if you can hear such a silent voice.
5. In the photo - the entrance to the Basilica of St. Francis ( main temple Franciscan order) from the southern façade. Photography is prohibited inside. And there is a lot of beautiful and interesting things there. Two churches - Lower and Upper, painted by Cimabue and Giotto. The 1997 earthquake irretrievably destroyed about 20% of the frescoes, but much has been restored. It’s easy to find detailed descriptions of the basilica’s interiors and paintings on the Internet, with quotes from the life of St. Francis.
6. This time I pedantically armed myself with a description of the scenes of the frescoes, but did not watch any films. And what caught my eye was the mundane, the mundane, the everyday. Some visitors paid the priest sitting in the booth for something, and he busily and sternly directed them somewhere. Stern servants walked around the temple, shouting “Hush!” At the same time, somewhere nearby a vacuum cleaner was making noise, a drill was buzzing, and in a closed chapel they were singing something at a private service. Dark faces, accustomed to everything, looked indifferently from the walls.
7. Gothic rosette on the eastern façade. In the corners, as far as I understand, the symbols of the evangelists are Man, Eagle, Lion and Bull. Somehow the Eagle doesn’t look like itself... Here is the entrance to the Upper Basilica with the famous frescoes - the Franciscan cycle. And if it is closed, you can get to the Upper Church from the Lower Church, from the opposite side.
8. At first we thought that the Upper Basilica was closed, but then we found the entrance to it. The photo shows the courtyard, cloister of Sixtus VI, of the Sacro Convento monastery, of which the basilica is part. As far as I remember, you can’t go down, but you can walk along the second floor gallery. And since formally this is not a church building, no one seems to prohibit taking photographs. The monastery began to be built after the canonization of St. Francis, in 1228, and ended in 1239. In the 15th century, it was significantly expanded and served summer residence dad. Since 1971, it has housed no monastery, but a theological institute.
9. Monochrome frescoes by Dono Doni (second half of the 16th century). Of course, the plots are taken from the lives of St. Francis and St. Clare.
10. A little life-giving photoshop and you can already see what is actually depicted. A pig and two people, one of them probably Francis. In the life of the saint, pigs are mentioned only in connection with a visit to the Pope, who sent Francis “to roll around with pigs, he has more in common with them.” Francis did as he was told and the shocked pope had to listen to him. There's a city in the background, maybe Rome. However, I am not an expert at all.
11. Eastern façade of the basilica. Behind the wall on the right is a garden. We turn our backs to the beautiful building and in front of us is a medieval city, narrow streets.
12. I went to the main city square (Piazza del Comune).
13. Each building tells or tries to tell its own story. They destroyed it here, rebuilt it there, built on it, broke it down again, laid down an arch, broke through the windows, laid it down and broke through it again, smaller, and so on... Such an ordinary, very long life.
14. In addition to large buses going down, there are also small ones for traveling along narrow city streets. And on the wall there is a memorial plaque. What is written? "Felice Trapassi, Metastasio's father, lived in this house." And he was, according to Wikipedia, a “poor artisan.” However, his nimble son caught the eye of a wealthy Roman, who adopted the boy and gave him not only a different name (translated into Greek as “Trapassi”) and money, but also an excellent education. And Italian opera of the 18th century received a famous librettist.
15. The streets are becoming more crowded, which means the square is already close.
16. This, one might say, is the second heart of Assisi, the secular one - the Municipality or Commune Square (Piazza del Comune). There are several interesting buildings here, mostly palaces, and the “three lions” fountain. The photo was taken from the fountain. A small two-story building is the Postal Palace. And on the right is the palace of the People's Captain, next to it is the high People's Tower, the former ancient temple of Minerva, and later a church. Opposite are the Palace of the Priors, the Palace of the Governors and the Palace of the Commune with a large painted arch. The square itself is located on the site of the ancient Roman forum; its remains can be viewed by going underground, under the square. That's where I went.
17. Once upon a time there was a small church dedicated to St. Nicholas on this place. In 1832 it was badly damaged, only in 1924 the place was cleared and the Postal Palace (Palazzo delle Poste) was built. The crypt underneath has been restored in Romanesque style. Now on the ground floor of the palace there is a tourist information office. That’s where I went in search of the underground museum of antiquity, and they sent me around the corner of the building. There I bought a ticket (4 euros) and looked around.
18. Beginning of the inspection. As far as I understand, this is the crypt of the Church of St. Nicholas. Here I wandered around a little out of politeness, people were trying, placing various fragments of tombstones, column capitals and even sarcophagi. Lovers of marble carving will probably find something to admire.
19. A long underground corridor can be passed under for the most part city square. There are fragments of marble slabs on the walls, and stones of the ancient forum underfoot.
20. The corridor is expanding, now we are standing next to the entrance to the Temple of Minerva, only underground. Screens with presentations and various information posters hang on the walls everywhere. They help well to imagine how and where everything was here almost two thousand years ago. Here, on the pedestal, court sessions took place.
21. Of course, it takes some imagination to stand in a narrow corridor and imagine yourself in a city square, removing all these stone walls around.
22. Reconstruction of the territory. But Morton, it turns out, was wrong when he described his visit to the underground museum of Assisi (“From Rome to Milan. Walks in Northern Italy,” 1964). He wrote: "...I walked along the Roman pavement, paying attention to the open drainage ditch that carried away the rains nineteen centuries ago. The huge blocks of travertine under my feet were torn and gouged by the chariots of the dead world, and I saw here the steps that were the lower steps of the temple of Minerva. Now they are hidden from passers-by walking above in the sun's rays. In Roman times, this temple was half its height." He was not higher, this forum was lower. In general, Morton has a fairly large fragment dedicated to Assisi, and, unlike the vinegary Muratov, who is always dissatisfied with everything, he liked a lot and describes what he saw with his usual inviting warmth. Actually, because of his description of the underground museum, I went there.
23. Another layout to help your imagination. In general, there are quite a few traces of the ancient Roman city in the city, there is also an amphitheater (or rather, the place where it was, still retaining its characteristic shape), there are remains of pavement, walls, a theater or circus. Here is some information, in Italian, but with photographs.
For someone, a tour (especially without good guide) may seem a bit boring and not worth 4 euros. Well, a stone corridor, well, slabs on the walls. I personally realized a long time ago that all sorts of ancient ruins and ruins are dearer to me than nightmarish baroque cherubs and other gilded excesses. I love trying to hear and see them. What can self-sufficient cherubs tell? So I walked through the underground forum with pleasure.
24. “Everything here was familiar to Saint Francis, he walked around this square when he was a cheerful young man, he was known here as a beggar, and then as a respected saint. Worn old steps lead to the church. Three boys sat on them, feeding voracious pigeons... "(G, Morton. From Rome to Milan)
But really. The Temple of Minerva stood then, even if all the other buildings appeared here later. True, in 1212, instead of the Church of San Donato, the building of the temple housed the Podesta Palace, as well as the city prison. Only in the 15th century the building again became a temple; since 1539 it has been the Church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva. But there are still a lot of pigeons here. And on the pavement there are contours of the same judicial platform, which is located underground in this place.
25. There is a small exposition on the wall of the People's Tower. In 1349, the people's captain Angelo di Latero ordered standards of bricks, tiles and tiles, as well as iron rods of various lengths, to be reinforced in the tower wall.
26. Opposite the Captain's Palace is the Palace of the Commune (Palazzo del Comune), built in the first half of the 14th century. The building is nothing special, but the loggia with the painted vault is interesting. At first it was equally open, but in 1381 (or 1435 according to this in English) the rear exit was closed by a wall. In 1556, the Sienese Marcello Tuto painted the vault with humorous arabesques, inspired, like many then, by the paintings of Nero's Golden House in Rome.
27. You can look at it and try to understand the sense of humor of the 16th century. And here is my favorite owl from my last visit here. Slightly puzzled and shocked.
28. I did not decipher this inscription - Ab Insidiis Amicorum. The first two words sound like the beginning of an exorcism prayer, and then “friends.” And all around there are clubs and a falling chariot. I understand the owl even more. Here is a story about a visit to Assisi and here are even more fragments of this fresco and others, and in general it is interesting.
29. We’ve already covered a lot and it’s time to refresh ourselves. At least have some coffee. It's still cool and windy up here. And there are these shop windows all around. In Assisi, it was the first time I saw meringues (or meringues) in such quantities; probably this is some kind of local specialty, a specialty.
30. I went to a pastry shop, bought pistachio ice cream and a cappuccino - technically it was still the first half of the day, okay (after lunch, cappuccino is almost a crime). I sat at the table and looked at the meringues in the window. They came in all different sizes and colors. I don’t particularly like this mixture of eggs and sugar, especially after growing up in my youth, when I baked these same meringues in the oven almost every day. And the Italian couple who came into the cafe spent a long time choosing a giant meringue, the same way they probably choose fish for dinner or a cake for a celebration. For a long time he and the saleswoman went through, discussed, and consulted.
This is where I’ll finish my short story about the first half of the walk. The summary is this: Assisi is definitely worth a visit, it’s easy to do by going there for half a day from Rome, resting on the train on the way. The concentration of beauty and attractions here is almost Roman. There is a lot of information on the Internet, from detailed descriptions of the scenes of Giotto’s frescoes to bus traffic patterns.
Assisi is one of the most visited places in Italy, mainly due to the fact that here, in the Cathedral of St. Francis, the relics of the saint are kept, and around are the places where he was born, preached, lived and died. In addition to the relics, the cathedral is notable for its majestic architecture and frescoes by Giotto and Cimabue; other medieval masters also had a hand in decorating the church. The city also deserves a walk for at least half a day - there are the remains of an ancient temple, the ruins of a fortress and a smaller castle, interesting churches, and picturesque views from the hill on which the city is built. And if you want to see the surrounding monasteries and monasteries, founded both by Francis of Assisi himself and his associates, then you will need 2-3 days.
The easiest and most convenient way to get here is from Perugia - the train takes just over 20 minutes. If you have flown to Rome and want to take a one-day trip to Assisi, then you need to go from the Roma Tiburtina station - at 8 am there is a train that takes a little over 2 hours without a change and returns at 18 o'clock. Keep in mind that everything changes, especially train schedules, so before planning your trip you should definitely check the availability of the train for your date on the Italian Railways website www.trenitalia.com. The station in Assisi is located 5 km from the medieval city itself, so when each train arrives, there is a bus at the exit of the station that will take you to the city. If you wish, you can take a walk - a brick-paved path leads to the city from the station.
Which area of Assisi is best to stay in?
Given the great popularity of the area around Assisi, the choice of hotels here is quite large. Simplified, they can be divided into 3 parts: hotels directly in Assisi itself, the medieval city, hotels in Santa Maria degli Angeli, a small town near the station 3 km from Assisi, and hotels in the countryside located throughout the valley.
At Assisi railway station there is the majestic Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli (it actually gave the town its name), inside which the entire chapel built by Francis of Assisi and the hut where he died are preserved. There are many souvenir stalls in front of the basilica, and a city bus stops here, which goes through the station to the medieval city. The town has a good selection of shops and cafes, and, given the proximity to the train station, it is convenient to stay here if you plan to visit Assisi for one day, and then see the surrounding area and Umbria as a whole - the same Perugia, Foligno, Spello, Nocera Umbru . The houses here are much more modern than in the Old Town, so they have all the amenities you will need, including air conditioning, good and stable Wi-Fi and parking, and the rooms here are larger than in ancient buildings (by the way, the list hotels in Santa Maria degli Angeli can be found). As Easy...As It Sounds Hotel is located within walking distance from the station and each room has a terrace and guests can use shared kitchen and free parking. Le Grazie Hotel is located in quiet place at the foot of the mountains, 400 meters from the station (on request you can be met/accompanied to the station). All hotel rooms are air conditioned (which you will appreciate in summer), and parking and Wi-Fi are also free. Bicycles can be rented from reception (a good alternative to a car for exploring the valley). If you like to spend time not only running around the sights, then you should pay attention to hotels that have a swimming pool or garden where you can spend one of the “lazy” days of your holiday in Umbria. For example, Hotel Bellavista can offer both, and the garden here is also panoramic, with beautiful views. The bus that goes through the station to Assisi stops in front of the hotel. If you want to live with a view of the basilica, you can pay attention to the guest house Camere La Basilica, where, in addition to the view, there is antique furniture and wrought-iron beds. The designer Dal Moro Gallery Hotel has a rooftop garden that also offers views of the basilica. There is a swimming pool, a library, and a restaurant listed in guidebooks.
Road from the station to Assisi quite picturesque, especially in summer and autumn - there are continuous fields of sunflowers all around. From almost any point in this part of the valley you can get a nice shot of the Basilica of St. Francis, rising on a hill above the surrounding area, which is perhaps why, given the high popularity of the area around Assisi, several private hotels have been built here, quite popular. The hotels here are mostly family-run, which, in my opinion, is a big plus, because the owners are usually interested in making sure their guests enjoy everything. This area is convenient because it is located 1–2 km from the station (you can even walk) and at the same time not far from the city. The buildings here may be as old as in the city, but there are more amenities than in the center: it’s quiet, cozy, intimate, there’s no eternal crowd taking the city’s attractions by storm, and there are no problems with parking, which is usually provided here for free, since cars cannot enter not closed like on the hill. For example, the Il Roseto hotel is surrounded by a lush garden and decorated in classic Italian style. In the hotel restaurant, the owner himself cooks for both guests and his family. All"Antica Mattonata Apartment is located in an old farmhouse, within walking distance from historical center, it can be reached on foot, by bus, or by bicycle, which you can rent here for free. Main value apartments - each room has a fully equipped kitchen, and there is barbecue equipment in the courtyard. Assisi Garden is located in the building of a former monastery, in a quiet, secluded place, from the hotel along the same picturesque path coming from the station and paved with personalized bricks (the names of the people who donated to the basilica), you can walk to the city center. The rooms here offer views of the valley or the medieval quarters.
Medieval city of Assisi(or simply Old city) located on a high hill with stunning views of the valley, geometric fields and the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli. The bulk of the attractions are located here, any of which is a 10-12 minute walk, souvenir shops and family restaurants, but there is practically no ordinary shopping here - apparently rent high or pilgrims are inactively buying fashionable clothes. The buildings in the city are entirely ancient, made of local stone, which, on the one hand, protects well from the heat (and in the summer it can easily be +40), but on the other hand, such buildings are difficult and expensive to heat, so you local residents They don’t bother with heating, they just dress warmly in winter. The maximum that local hotels can offer you is air conditioning, which heats the room to an acceptable temperature, so you should always carefully study the reviews of other travelers, as well as stock up on warm slippers and pajamas, especially if the hotel description indicates that the floor is ceramic (in winter it will be icy ). The ancient building is unlikely to have an elevator, so if you have a lot of luggage, you will have to rely only on your own strength. There is limited traffic in the Old Town of Assisi, so if your hotel is located on a hill, it is worth writing to the hotel in advance and asking for directions and any questions regarding parking. For those who intend to live in Assisi and want to visit the surrounding towns, traveling by public transport, it is worth considering that the railway station is 5 km away, and constantly leaving the city will be quite inconvenient; in this case, it is worth considering areas closer to the station for living (see above).
Almost all Assisi hotels indicate their location relative to the Basilica of St. Francis, some also mention other large city churches - to make it easier for tourists to navigate. In my opinion, if you don’t have any special wishes regarding the view from the windows, then you can settle in the center in any area, and at the opposite end of the city relative to the cathedral - even better, since tourists come here much less often, and it is noticeably quieter and calmer here . If you attach great importance decor of the rooms, keep in mind that in Assisi everything is usually decorated in a rustic style - heavy oak beams, wooden floors (less often ceramic), antique furniture, wrought-iron beds, in other words, everything is simple, but functional and authentic. It is worth paying attention to the presence of air conditioning (if you are traveling in the summer) and free wi-fi (if you are used to being connected all the time). B&B New Day is located in a restored 13th-century building, a 5-minute walk from the cathedral, where each room has tea and coffee making facilities, which is convenient if you are used to returning home to rest while walking around the city. The hotel is located among intricate medieval streets, so be sure to contact the staff in advance so that they can send you detailed description how to find the entrance. Hotel Berti stands almost immediately after entering the city, where all tourists are brought by bus; If you arrived on your own, it is very convenient, but you will have to climb up to the city center on foot. The hotel does not have its own parking lot, but you can usually find a parking space nearby. Giotto Hotel & Spa is a phenomenon that is atypical for ancient cities - the hotel has a spa center, so it will be convenient to stay here for those who would like to combine sightseeing and spa treatments (don't forget to sign up for them in advance!). Hotel Il Palazzo occupies an entire wing of a 16th-century palace; the furniture here is real antique, not antique. When booking, ask for the third floor for views of the valley and city rooftops. Located in the heart of the city, the Case Brizi Assisi apartments feature a kitchen and tapestries. Hotel Trattoria Pallotta is decorated in a rustic style and is located in an ancient corner of Assisi, a short walk from the Duomo Cathedral, here, in addition to breakfast, guests are provided with tea, coffee and juices with cakes throughout the day.
For those who consider a trip to Assisi more like country holiday in provincial Italy, and not as a pursuit of attractions, worth considering for a stay south-eastern part of the hill on which Assisi stands, and the adjacent part of the valley. This is a very pleasant place: groves and gardens, views of the surrounding area and the Old Town, silence, broken only by the singing of birds. Appartamenti La Pineta is located in the eastern part of Assisi, 5-7 minutes walk from the center, half a kilometer from shops and restaurants. The apartments have their own free parking and each has a separate entrance. Appartamenti Barabani Stefano is surrounded by a lush garden and has very nice attic rooms. Hotel La Terrazza has its own playground for children, and for parents, the hotel has a swimming pool, spa, and a nearby sports center.
