Assisi Travel Forum

I have seen on a couple of different websites that there is a bus everyday form assisi to sorrento, but that is all that is says. Does anyone know where in assisi do you catch this bus, schedule, how much it costs, and how long it takes? Thanks.

Hi Vters,

I'm now swaying my preference to Assisi instead of Orvieto.
Could someone kindly recommend some good B&Bs (or hotels) centrally located which makes an ideal base to explore assisi by foot since I do not drive.

Thanks

Just happens that I will be in the Town of Assisi on the celebration of festival of St Francis. I am not sure as to what to expect. other than the town will be crowded with many worshipers. Will eateries and shops be open, or will most be closed to due to religious observance? Reservations have already been made, but if too mobbed perhaps I would be happier those days traveling to perugia? Has anyone experienced these two days Oct 3/4th in Assisi?

Does anyone know if there is luggage storage available for a few hours at Assisi railway station? We are hoping to travel by rail from Florence to Rome via Assisi to spend a few hours sightseeing in Assisi before resuming travel to Rome.

What is the cost to take the train roundtrip from Rome to Italy? What is the name of the train station in Rome?
How long will the trip take each way? How do I get the fastest train i.e. express?

I might visit Assisi from Florence on a Monday..will anything be opened..also I love Saint Francis..this is my main reason for going..where are the best places associated with him in Assisi. thank you

I am going to be staying in Assisi for two nights, and then I want to go to Sorrento. I was wondering what the best way to do that would be. Should I take a bus? Is there a train that would get me there faster? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

My daughter and I traveled to Assisi in 1997 with a group to see John Paul II for World Youth Days. We went to the local shops, of course. There, I bought 4 wall plates about 4" in diameter of the 4 seasons. They were a peasant family of 3 and were hand painted. I do not remember the shop. A couple of years ago one of the plates (winter) was broken. Does anyone remember the name of any shops that had hand-painted 4" diam. seasonal wall plates? How can I get hold of them?

I want to find out if it's better to go to Assisi from Rome or Florence?

We are going to be staying in Rome and in Florence but we want to visit Assisi.

Thank you for all your help

My wife and I are planning to go Rome-Assisi-Florence,are there any lockers at Assisi Station? we're planning to stay only a few hours in Assisi and then go to
Florence.Thanks for any suggestions.

My wife and I are staying in Rome for 4 days then heading to Florence. We want to spend 1 night in Assisi. We thought of renting a car and driving to Assisi and Florence, but everyone says that leaving Rome can be dangerous driving a car. Should I forget the rental car and just use train to Assisi, then Florence the next day?

we're hoping to do a day trip to assisi from rome.... since we're on a budget we'd like some advice on the best price for this journey... you spoke well of the train, but the prices we've gotten are roughly $25 per ticket per person per way.... for us, $100.... plus the bus to assisi from the terminus outside assisi.... HELP! this puts our trek out of reach.... any better rates to recommend? thank you!

Hi,
We plan to come to Assisi from Florence, and I read that from the train station I need to take bus C to the upper. to which point this bus will take me? Close to which attraction? because I want to plan my city tour according to this.

(and by the way - how much does one-ride cost in Italy these days?)

We plan to visit few places:

Basilica San Francesco
Rocca Maggiore
Santa Chiara
Duomo San Rufino

Do you think we are missing sth? Or that we can skip sth?
Any good restaurant? (one of us is vegetarian)

Thanks a lot, looking forward to Assisi!

We will be with a tour group in Assisi, but I have a childhood friend who lives in Lavello. I haven't seen her in years and can't imagine being this close and not getting to visit her.
I need to know what the easiest, fastest way to get from Assisi to Lavello . Train to Rocchetta, then rent a car? Rent a car for the entire trip? If I rent a car are there penalties if I return the car in Naples? We want to rejoin our group in Pompeii the next afternoon. If I drop the car in Naples, is there a good Metro to Pompeii?

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

As I was walking downhill from the parking area in Assisi I looked through a doorway and found an enchanting nativity scene. It was an entire village with small signs in Italian. As I remember, it was on the way to the church of Saint Claire. We will be returning to Assisi in July and I would love to show this nativity scene to my family. Does any one know the name of the street it is on? Thank you.

I will be staying around Florence for a few day in early June. Can anyone tell me is it possible to travel to Assisi for a day, preferably by train. Please advise!

Thank you in advance for any helpful advice/directions/suggestions!

I will be staying at at farmhouse apartment apporximately 15 kilometers outside Assisi with four friends. We will be making several trips back and forth to the train station in Santa Maria degli Angeli from the farm. We do not want to rent a car. Does anyone know the approximate cost of hiring a taxi for a trip of this length and the maximum number of passengers per car? Thanks for your help, Pat

Hello,
I was wondering if a daytrip to Rome is doable from Assisi? I really have no clue about this and need all your help!!!

Thanks, Donna

I bought a print from a shop in Assisi a couple years ago, and foolishly didn't buy the second print that went with it. Maybe someone on this forum knows the artist or the shop phone number or the number for the Assisi chamber or commerce.

See the print here: http://lostassisiartist.blogspot.com/. Most of this artist's prints are very similar in style.

Thanks.

My sister will be in florence in May and would like to visit Assisi. She has already rent a car for sunday and monday. Should she go to Assisi on monday? There will be certainly less tourists then, but will the restaurants, shops, museums, be open?

Thank you for your advice.

This hotel is a little out of town. Is there anyone who has stayed here? How would you rate it?

Which buses or trains does one take to get from Assisi to Siena? How late does the transportation run?

what is the best hotel to stay in in the center of assisi - not the countryside thank you the same question goes for siena

Is there a bus to take from Assis to Cortona? How long it is gonna to take?
And anywhere on the website that I can find the schedule?

Please give schedule and bus name from Assisi to Siena on Sundays? Is there a bus between 11AM to 1PM on Sundays and how long is the travel to Siena?

Thank you for your reply - referido@lycos.com

We will be travelling from Rome to Florence via rail and were considering stopping off for a day in Assisi. Does anyone know if there is place to stow luggage at the train station? Thank you in advance for your reply.

We are trying to decide whether to go to Assisi for the Calendimaggio festival or the Corsa dei Ceri race in Gubbio. Any suggestions? What is the Calendimaggio like? Real touristy or authentic? What actually happens? Is there anything going on in the evening? Is the town wall to wall people?

Hello everyone,

I want to take my group of 24 people to St. Marys of the Angels. We are staying in the old part of Assisi, specifically Hotel LaRocca (anyone heard of it?). Does anyone know how we can get there without renting a bus?

Thanks!
Mary
