Assisi bus from assisi to sorrento
Posted: Tue October 6, 2009 04:55 PM UTC
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.

Perugia Trains from Rome Termini to Perugia or Assisi
Posted: Sat September 5, 2009 11:18 PM UTC
Hello,

I have read a few articles that you need to change trains at Foligno on the way to either Assisi or Perugia. However, having checked the schedules on treinitalia.com, it seems there are direct trains from Rome to these 2 cities without transferring. Is that true?

For instance:
http://orario.trenitalia.com/b2c/nppPriceTravelSolutions.do?car=A&stazin=rome+termini&stazout=perugia&datag=09&datam=09&dataa=2009&timsh=09&datag_r=12&datam_r=09&dataa_r=2009&timsh_r=10&stazin_r=perugia&stazout_r=rome+termini&timsm=15&timsm_r=15&lang=en&nreq=5&channel=tcom&npag=1&lang_r=en&nreq_r=5&channel_r=tcom&npag_r=1&x=32&y=11

If I were to take the train departing Rome termini at 11.57am, I don't need to transfer elsewhere?

Can someone let me know what fare 39/AS means? I don't really understand. Is this the fare to go with if I were to buy a ticket online?

Cheers
Glen

Assisi accommodation
Posted: Mon August 31, 2009 03:47 PM UTC
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
Glen

Orvieto Weird to Share Food?
Posted: Fri August 28, 2009 03:34 PM UTC
In restaurants in Orvieto, it is possible to share perhaps one of the courses. Because we do not eat a lot, yet like a variety, it gives us an opprtunity to sample things we might not order.

Assisi Festival of St Francis
Posted: Wed August 19, 2009 03:38 AM UTC
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?

Umbria Spello or Perugia?
Posted: Tue August 18, 2009 10:24 PM UTC
we'll be travelling around Umbria by car in mid-November and can't decide where to stay as our base, Spello or Perugia. We are looking for a place that is relatively easy when exiting and entering, but also a town with people at that time of year. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Umbria Perugia or Assisi as a base to explore the area? Train or bus?
Posted: Sun June 7, 2009 11:25 PM UTC
On my way to Switzerland I will be going thru Perugia and Assisi. I noticed the train ride between the two cities is around 20 minutes.

I wonder which would be the best place to stay as a base considering:

1. Best train connections - probably going to Florence from there.

2. Least touristy ... hmmm, this could be difficult.

3. Overall ease of getting in and out of the train station.

4. Which would you consider the nicest to use as a base for a woman traveling alone and why?

Thanks.

Assisi Shopper
Posted: Fri March 13, 2009 09:38 PM UTC
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?

Assisi Drive auto or train - Rome to Assisi
Posted: Sat February 14, 2009 12:58 AM UTC
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?

Trevi Staying in Trevi
Posted: Sun November 30, 2008 10:00 PM UTC
Our group of seven is planning a trip to Umbria in June of 2010. We are planning to rent a villa or vacation house rather than stay at hotels or bed and breakfast inns. In deciding where to stay in Umbria, we found that the town of Trevi is a good location for the areas we would like to visit. We would like to know if anyone has any comments on staying in Trevi. We would like to have access to some good restaurants and food markets in the town. Does anyone have any information about how well this would work?

Thanks,
Mary

Assisi Day Trip To Assisi
Posted: Mon October 27, 2008 11:46 PM UTC
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!
