Shopping Tour in Assisi

The best shopping in Assisi isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. Independent boutiques, artisan workshops, vintage stores, and morning markets are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the walker with discoveries you can't find online.

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.

•Piazza del Comune and Temple of Minerva — a Roman temple facade from the 1st century BCE that Goethe called the first complete monument of antiquity he had seen, now a baroque church inside
