Take a Stroll along Via San Francesco
Via San Francesco is the road that connects Piazza Del Comune with the St. Francis Basilica. It is lined with small stone buildings, housing boutique shops that sell food, souvenirs, and religious artifacts.
Enjoy the View from Rocca Maggiore
Sitting above Assisi is Rocca Maggiore, the fortress that guards the city. It is worth the steep uphill walk to get to the fortress because from here, you not only get a stunning view over Assisi, but you can also look out over Basilica di San Francesco.
