Nature Walk in Assisi

Even the most urban cities hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Assisi's parks, gardens, and green corridors offer a breathing space between the landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find.

Assisi is a medieval hilltop town of pink stone that glows in the Umbrian light, the birthplace of St. Francis and home to one of Italy's most important basilicas, painted with Giotto's revolutionary frescoes.
