Few think of Assisi when they think of Italy. In fact, few even knows that Assisi exists. Well allow me to enlighten you! Assisi is a small hillside village located in the Perugia province of Western Italy. Although the town is quaint, it is stuffed full of international and local religious culture that line the cobblestone roads. I recommend that tourists make sure their visit leaves time for the sunset, as the one that can be seen over the valley is one the most beautiful sites in our little world.
Local's Food
Hot Chocolate- The most magical memory I have of Assisi is sitting in a cramped cafe late at night with a slightly spicy hot chocolate and a few good friends.
Beware! Because Assisi is such a small tourist town, all of the tourist-traps are located on the main road in a very condensed fashion. Allow yourself to journey beyond the main drag and into the more residential parts of the village, here is where the best food is!
Local Attractions
Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi - This extremely famous basilica is both magnificently beautiful and surprisingly tourist friendly. With the exception of the swarming summer tourist seasons, this tourist destination is pleasently welcoming.
Rocca Maggiore - The town of Assisi is actually surrounded by three mideveal castles with adjoining walls that surround the village. Rocca Maggiore is the largest of the three and can be reached by an easy 20 minute walk up the side of the mountain. Although the walk may seem daunting, the view is worth it ten times again
