Italian is the official language in Assisi. English is spoken in many hotels and tourist-oriented restaurants, but learning a few basic Italian phrases will be appreciated by locals.

Assisi is a medieval hilltop town with steep, cobblestone streets that can be challenging for those with mobility issues. However, major religious sites like the Basilica of Saint Francis have accessibility accommodations.

Assisi is the birthplace of Saint Francis, founder of the Franciscan order, and Saint Clare. It's a major Catholic pilgrimage site and UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting millions of religious and cultural tourists annually.

The Basilica of Saint Francis is the most important site, containing frescoes by Giotto. Also visit the Basilica of Santa Chiara, the Cathedral of San Rufino, and the Porziuncola chapel where St. Francis founded his order.

Pack comfortable walking shoes with good grip for cobblestone streets, modest clothing for religious sites (covering shoulders and knees), layers for changing temperatures, and a small daypack for essentials.

Popular day trips from Assisi include the nearby towns of Perugia, Gubbio, and Spello.
