Highlights
  • Basilica Papale e Sacro Convento di San Francesco d’Assisi - The day begins in Rome at 7:30 am with an air-conditioned minivan heading towards Assisi, arriving around 10:00 am. Enjoy a free visit to the Shrine of the Porciuncula at Santa Maria degli Angeli, then continue to the center of Assisi where you can explore the Basilica of San Francisco. Lunch is on your own (NOT INCLUDED). Afterward, visit Santa Clara and finally return to Rome at 2:30-3:00 pm, arriving back at the hotel by 5:30 pm.

It is crucial to adhere to the departure time to avoid traffic. A dress code is required to enter places of worship and selected museums. Shorts and sleeveless tops are not permitted. Both men and women must cover their knees and shoulders. Failure to comply with these dress requirements may result in denied entry.

  • Basilica Papale e Sacro Convento di San Francesco d’Assisi - The Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi (Italian: Basilica di San Francesco d’Assisi; Latin: Basilica Sancti Francisci Assisiensis) is the principal church of the Roman Catholic Order of Friars Minor Conventual in Assisi, a town in the Umbria region of central Italy, where Saint Francis was born and died. It is a Papal minor basilica and one of the most significant Christian pilgrimage sites in Italy. Along with its accompanying friary, Sacro Convento, the basilica is a prominent landmark for those approaching Assisi. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2000.
  • Assisi - Best known as the birthplace of St. Francis, Italy’s patron saint, Assisi is nestled amid Umbria’s rolling hills. Religious pilgrims have visited for centuries to see the Basilica of San Francesco (where St. Francis is buried) and the Basilica of Santa Chiara (which houses the tomb of St. Clare). Visit the Eremo delle Carceri to explore caves where medieval hermits sought solitude. (Such seclusion might be especially appealing if you’re visiting on a day trip from Rome!)
