Assisi is the town of St Francis, built in pale pink stone on the slope of Monte Subasio. It draws pilgrims and parish groups as well as travellers exploring Umbria.

What the journey to Assisi looks like

  1. Airport to the A1

    From FCO the driver takes the motorway towards Rome and the northern ring road, then joins the A1 heading north.

  2. Into Umbria

    The route leaves the motorway and continues on fast dual carriageways through the green Umbrian valleys.

  3. The Spoleto valley

    The last section runs along the flat valley floor, with Assisi and the Basilica of St Francis visible on the hillside ahead.

  4. Up to the walls

    A short climb from Santa Maria degli Angeli brings you to the gates of the old town or to your hotel in the valley.

Upper town or Santa Maria degli Angeli?

Accommodation in Assisi falls into two areas. Inside the walls are small hotels, convents and pilgrim houses on steep, mostly pedestrian streets around the Basilica of St Francis, Santa Chiara and Piazza del Comune. Down in the valley, Santa Maria degli Angeli has larger hotels, the railway station and the basilica that encloses the Porziuncola chapel.

Traffic in the walled centre is restricted. Some hotels can arrange access for arriving guests, others cannot, so the driver may stop at a gate or car park near the walls. Your hotel can tell you which entrance to use.

Notes for pilgrims and groups

Parish and church groups
Larger vehicles can be requested for groups. Send the passenger count and the convent or guesthouse address with the booking.
Walkers on the Way of St Francis
Rucksacks and walking poles fit easily, but declare bicycles when booking so a suitable vehicle is sent.
Busy dates
Early October around the Feast of St Francis on 4 October and the Calendimaggio festival in spring bring crowds, so book early.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the drive from Fiumicino to Assisi take?

Usually between 169 and 212 minutes, depending on traffic around Rome and on the A1. Most of the route is motorway or dual carriageway.

Can I be dropped at a convent or pilgrim house inside the walls?

Often only as far as the nearest gate or permitted stop, as many streets in the centre are pedestrian. Ask your host how arriving guests usually reach the building.

Is Assisi too far for a transfer straight from the airport?

Not for most travellers. The trip is long but direct, with no change of train in Rome or Foligno, which matters with heavy luggage or after a night flight.

Can the transfer continue to Perugia or Spello instead?

Yes, other Umbrian towns can be booked as the destination. The price shown before booking reflects the actual address.

Is the price per person?

No, it is per vehicle. For a family or small group, one minivan for the whole party is usually the practical choice.
