Why come to Assisi

If I can, I hope I can go to Europe once a year. When I start planning my destination, I prefer France, Italy and Darui. This is the most conventional route for everyone to go to Europe for the first time. After some research, I think Switzerland is not very suitable for me. My preference for natural scenery is limited. I prefer history and humanities. Austria also has the scenery of lakes and mountains, as well as the background of music. The main reason for bypassing Germany is that there is an annual beer festival in October, which is very worthwhile to experience. So the final itinerary is: Italy - Germany - Austria, a total of 18 days, Italy: 10 days of human history (Rome Assisi Perugia, Florence, Venice and Milan), Germany: Beer City, 3 days (Munich), Austria: Music City + lakes and mountains, 5 days (Salzburg, badesheherstadt, Vienna). I am very satisfied with the whole route, I love the Italian culture, the beer elbow of Munich and the scenery of Austria

At the beginning of the itinerary are Italy's more well-known big cities, such as Rome, Florence, Milan, and even Pompeii. But I think Italy's cities are some villages or medieval towns, such as the hot "Tuscany", for example, I went to "Umbria". Ha ha, when I first saw the picture of Assisi, I made up my mind to go to Assisi, because Perugia is the capital of Umbria. OK, let's take another day to visit Perugia.

Assisi is a typical mountain city in Umbria, with ancient pools, olive trees and beautiful churches. The extraordinary thing is that Assisi has St. Francis's Cathedral.

New to Assisi..

Assisi [Basilica di Santa Chiara]

Asisi's most beautiful lunch.. ha-ha..

Basilica di San Francesco

Overlooking Assisi...

Let's go, Perugia...

The ancient arch of Perugia...

The central park at the top of Perugia..

Umbria (Italian: Umbria), capital of Perugia, and other important cities such as Terni, Assisi, Orvieto, Foligno, Todi, are mountainous. Lago trasimeno is located in the area. Umbria is the capital of Perugia. Other important cities include Terni, asisi, Orvieto, Foligno and Todi. The terrain is mountainous. Lago trasimeno is located in the area. Umbria has long been regarded as a replica of Tuscany, and only recently has it begun to emerge from the shadows of its western neighbors. With idyllic countryside and mountains, the picturesque Umbria is known as "the green heart of Italy". At the same time, the beautiful and mysterious medieval mountain town here is also one of the reasons why Umbria is famous. There are many towns and scenic spots with great ornamental value in this area. Just a few miles away from an elegant and simple Town, it is another charming town with amorous feelings. In Umbria, art and architecture, city and country, everything is so harmonious. Among them, the monuments that can not be missed are the cathedrals of ovieto and spoledo. The grand palaces of Perugia, Todi and gubio; The Basilica of Assisi, the hometown of San Francisco; Narni, Amelia, florinio, zitadi, Castro and Todi, and the quiet and bright lake tracymano are well preserved; The pure and open narina Valley and the Siberian mountains with many mysteries and legends... All the people who used to walk in Umbria are intoxicated with its ever-changing and unique natural scenery. As early as the middle ages and the Renaissance, many artists have been competing to depict her beauty.

The view of Assisi hotel seems to be the view of central Italy..

Assisi? A city rising because of religion? The holy city of rose? Assisi, an ancient medieval city, is located in Perugia Province, Umbria region, central Italy, on the west side of Mount surbashio, near the chiasho River, and 24 km northeast of Perugia. Assisi is a typical mountain city in Umbria, with ancient city pool, olive tree and beautiful church. The extraordinary thing is that Assisi has Saint Francis cathedral. There are many historic sites in Assisi, surrounded by a 5-kilometer-long city wall, almost completely keeping the appearance of the middle ages. The whole city is mainly made of rose colored stones. From a distance, this is a rose colored holy city. Saint Francis is a saint born in Assisi and the founder of Saint Francis. Saint Francis Cathedral not only buries the saints, but also collects the frescoes of Giotto, the first person of the Renaissance. It has long been a place where tourists and pilgrims gather. San Francesco, a Catholic saint, once lived here and founded his unique sect. San Francesco should be called San Francisco according to the modern general translation, but because the Catholic Church translated his name as Saint Francis when it was introduced into China in the early years, his sect was generally called Saint Franciscans in China. Many legends of Saint Francis are related to caring for animals. The most famous one is his story of preaching to birds. According to UNESCO's comment that the Church of San Francisco in Assisi and other relics of San Francisco are listed as world cultural heritages, "compared with other religious beliefs, the Church of San Francisco advocates peace and tolerance." The great influence of Saint Francis in the Catholic world makes Assisi a holy land in the eyes of Catholics. It is said that in 1926, on the occasion of the 700th anniversary of the birth of Saint Francis, two million believers from all over the world came to Assisi for pilgrimage. At that time when the transportation was not very developed, it was a very amazing number. The status of Assisi in the minds of believers can be seen.

From a distance to St. Francis's Cathedral...

Many people are very curious about how to get to Assisi. It's true that Assisi is a relatively closed ancient city, and the traffic is not very developed. In addition to self driving, the two girls did not choose self driving this time. It depends on the developed European railway. How to get to Assisi [Assisi's transportation]: the transportation between Italian cities mainly depends on the Italian railway. There are two kinds of purchase channels, one is to buy in advance, the other is to buy on-site vending machines. There will be some discount for long-distance purchase in advance, but for short-distance purchase, you can buy the machine, the difference is not big. At the beginning, I bought the ticket on the official website before I started. I needed to back up at Foligno. At the beginning, I was worried about whether I could change the car freely in the Italian speaking area. After all, I had never been there before, but I underestimated myself. It's OK. After getting off the train, axixi railway station is actually a very small station. You can see the bus station at the exit of the station, because you still need to take a bus to the ancient city of axixi. Railway station to axixi City: after getting off the train, axixi railway station is actually a very small station. You can see the bus station at the exit, because you still need to take a bus to the ancient city of axixi. Transportation: the train arrives at the foot of Axi mountain. You need to take a bus to the mountain city. There are bus lines a, B and C. line C can reach the railway station. In addition to line C, the frequency of the other two lines is low, and the interval is more than 1 hour. Be sure to carefully look at the bus stop timetable. If you take bus line C from the railway station to the Church of San Francisco, get off at porta S. Pietro of St. Peter's gate, and then enter the city on foot: from Rome to Assisi, book online in advance, transfer once in the middle, 11 euro / person time: 9:35-12:01

On the same day, we arrived at Rome railway station early. Basically, I reserved the train tickets online in advance, and some of them didn't arrive. The ticket vending machine here can be bought. The ticket vending machine at Rome railway station has Chinese. You can buy many train tickets for departure and destination cities at will, so if you want to buy them, you can start here.

Universal ticket vending machine.

Most of the European railway stations have no security check, so they go in with their luggage.

I'll wait for a while at the transfer station. I'll transfer to Assisi. I'm so excited.

The transfer car is very special. It seems that it is not a train. It should be a short-distance express train. You must do this. ha-ha.

Ha ha, finally to Assisi. Everything went well. When we arrived, we found that Assisi was a very small railway station

The train ticket punch machine in the railway station, remember to punch the train ticket consciously, because there are almost no ticket inspectors, but we have to provide our quality, to be a good quality Chinese citizen. ha-ha.

Because I'm going to Perugia the next day, I can buy tickets here in advance. It's very convenient, but there is no Chinese here. But there is English, you can do it, 2.5 euro a person, the departure and arrival station name, you can check, and you will find that the date of the ticket is also very broad. In fact, there is no fixed date, although you have to choose a date when you buy.

Axixi railway station out, you can choose taxi and bus, we chose bus, remember is linec oh.

Drive all the way to the ancient city of Assisi. Ha ha, you can see the ancient city on the mountain from a distance. It's really beautiful.

Dream travel app, this is my necessary app for overseas travel. It's very convenient to find the scenic spots and delicious food with local characteristics. Must play, landmarks, it has made a detailed classification and recommendation, so that I and several other friends even if there are different places to play will not have differences ~ of course, it also has real-time navigation, recommended routes, thousands of Wanda people's quality comments, where to play, how to play, how to go, there will be no unnecessary worry~

If you come to Assisi, I really suggest you stay one more night, so that you can experience the beauty of Assisi. Many itineraries start from Rome. If you have a one-day tour, I will show you Assisi or Perugia. It's easy to taste, and you will lose a lot of fun. I stayed in Assisi for two nights, but I didn't finish. Assisi is an ancient city, but there are many accommodations in it. You must pay attention to it when you want to choose. There is no public transportation in the ancient city of Assisi, so you must choose a hotel close to the entrance of the city. Ha ha, I didn't think about that much when I made the reservation, but we were very lucky, our hotel was just at the gate of the city... At the door. Ha ha, otherwise two girls would have to drag two bags, and it would be terrible to think about walking on the mountain road. Here is the hotel【 Hotel Berti Hotel Berti number of rooms: 10 address: Piazza San Pietro 24, 06081 Assisi, Italy otel Berti hotel is located in the center of Assisi, only 200 meters away from [Saint Francis' basilica], with traditional restaurant and quiet garden for breakfast. For decades, hotel operators have been following the tradition of making guests feel at home, providing meticulous care for guests. Hotels can still use WiFi. There are only 10 rooms in the hotel, which is operated by the owner himself. It has two floors and a garden. I like it very much. We live on the second floor, and we can see the mountain scenery outside with the window open. There's a parking lot underneath. The view is very good.

I love this small yard. If the weather is fine, I can have dinner here... Candlelight Dinner. ha-ha.

There is also a restaurant in the room. We have breakfast here.

The room is not very big, but two people are enough. It's on the second floor, with the windows facing out. I'm very satisfied with this. I can have a look at the scenery outside.

With a small flower came to Assisi..

I don't know why foreigners make the key so big and heavy. Do you know how much weight we two little girls need to carry this....

Open the window, you can see the scenery outside...

In the parking lot downstairs, although Assisi is not a popular destination in Italy, there will be some buses with one-day tour passengers, but how can Assisi only come for one day.

Assisi is located in Perugia Province, Umbria region, central Italy, on the west side of Mount surbashio, near the chiasho River, 24 km northeast of Perugia. Assisi is a typical mountain city in Umbria, with ancient city pool, olive tree and beautiful church. The extraordinary thing is that Assisi has Saint Francis cathedral. There are many historic sites in Assisi, surrounded by a 5-kilometer-long city wall, almost completely keeping the appearance of the middle ages. The whole city is mainly made of a kind of rose colored stone. From a distance, it is a rose colored holy city. When I first met Assisi, I was impressed by the beautiful scenery here. This is a relatively closed castle, and everything is well preserved.

Asisi has more European tourists and less Asian faces. You can see European tourists with shoulders on your back on the road...

Come to Assisi, you can bring a photographer. It's a good place to shoot.

Assisi is a small mountain city. Many of them are uphill. You can take pictures while walking...

At a corner, there are still European faces everywhere.

We have already missed the lunch time when asixi strolls. We suggest that we have lunch on time. Ah, many of the restaurants in asixi are run by local people, and they don't open 24 hours. We used the dream travel app to find a restaurant: ristorante metastasio

Well, it doesn't look like English, so I don't want to study the name of the store. The main reason for choosing it is that it has a large grandstand. As can be seen from the comments, you can generally enjoy the beautiful scenery and eat delicious food over and over again.

Ristorantr metastasio Restaurant

Asisi also has many cave restaurants, but this one has a big balcony and is on the hill, so it decided to eat on the balcony.

I was stunned by the scenery as soon as I came up. It's so beautiful..

I don't care to order, so I'll take a blind shot here...

I can't understand the menu when ordering. You can see the comments on the trip advisor with pictures, so you can see other people's pictures and order for easy.

I ordered a plate of beef. It's a lot of weight.

The recommended one is very delicious. I'm addicted to meat. I really can't expect too much food in Europe...

After a good meal, we are very satisfied, like playing chicken blood, the enthusiasm for Assisi is still expanding, let's continue to start.

Assisi is an ancient city in the middle ages. It's famous as the hometown of Saint Francis. It gives me a surprise. There are many churches here, and they all have the characteristics of Assisi. The first thing to see is that [St. Francis's Cathedral] has been added to the world heritage record. First, let's take a look at the evaluation of the World Heritage Committee: the ancient town of Assisi is a medieval city built on a mountain. It is the birthplace of Saint Francis, the founder of the Franciscans, and is closely related to the architecture of the Franciscans. There are many masterpieces of medieval art, such as the Cathedral of Saint Francis, the paintings of Italian painters Cimabue, Simone Martini, Pietro Lorenzetti, Giotto and so on. These masterpieces make the ancient town of Assisi an important reference for studying the development of art and architecture in Italy and Europe. Assisi, a medieval city built on a hill, is the birthplace of Saint Francis, closely associated with the work of the Franciscan Order. Its medieval art masterpieces, such as the Basilica ofSan Francescoand paintings by Cimabue, Pietro Lorenzetti, Simone Martini andGiotto, have made Assisi a fundamental reference point for the development of Italian and European art and architecture.

We just had a performance when we went there, so we put up a shelf on the spot. If we don't put up a shelf, I think it's more beautiful.

Ha ha, we have to take a group photo.

The story of St. Francis the friars of St. Francis is quite common in Europe. Its founder is Francis, who was born in 1182 in the family of the rich in Assisi. Like all the children of rich families, Francis had a time when he was young. At the age of 24, Francis took part in the battle of Assisi and belugia. Wounded and captured in the war, he was redeemed by his father a year later. When I got home, I was infected with fever, and I was almost on the verge of death. After this setback in his life, Francis began to devote himself to God and began to take care of those in need, such as lepers and poor people. One day when he was praying in a small church, he suddenly heard Jesus on the cross appear to him and asked him to rebuild the small church. From then on, Francis began to renovate the church by himself in silence, and took his belongings to change the building materials. Francis's actions made his father very angry, so he asked the bishop of the village to mediate. Francis returned all his father's wealth (including his clothes) to all his villages, indicating that he would devote his life to God from now on. Francis lived in the cave with some of his friends, lived a poor life, and began to engage in missionary affairs. This is the origin of the widely spread Saint Francis. When Francis prayed in a church in Arezzo in 1224, a holy mark happened, that is, a scar appeared on his body, which was the same as the scar on Jesus' crucifixion. Some people think it was Jesus, but others think it was Francis who cut himself in prayer. In any case, Francis's health began to decline. He died in 1226 at the age of 44 and was canonized as a saint the next year.

Before the church was built, the hill it was on was called Colle d'inferno, where prisoners were executed. Saint Francis was buried here after his death, like Jesus, with the prisoners and the excluded. Now, this mountain is called paradise mountain. St. Francis Church is divided into upper and lower churches.

Xiatang was built in 1228-1230. Its stained glass windows were brought by many artists from all over Europe. Above the central altar are four frescoes created by Maestro delle vele (14th century), a disciple of Giotto, symbolizing the four fables of Saint Francis. In addition, Pietro Lorenzetti (C. 1280-1348) created Madonna with St Francis and St John the Evangelist, which caused great controversy in the middle ages, because Francis was more eye-catching than John. There is a Madonna in majesty in the right ear hall. It was created by C. 1240-1302, an important painter in the early Renaissance, but the original painting was later tampered with. The tomb of St. Francis is located on the ground floor of the lower hall, surrounded by a circle of benches. In the Sala delle reliquie, there are relics of Saint Francis, including robes, slippers, fragments of the chant of the creations and his book of life.

The upper hall was built between 1230 and 1253, a little later than the lower hall. Their styles and magnificence are quite different. Around the wall are 28 frescoes, which are generally believed to have been created by Giotto di Bondone (C. 1267-1337) and his students. They depict the scenes in the Old Testament and the New Testament, and they have a profound impact on the development of Western art. In order to conform to the idea of Saint Francis that "human body is like a brother, and the earth is like a mother and sister", there are no golden leaves and other icons in the painting.

Later, I went to a place at the back of the mountain and found that it was the best place to view St. Francis's church from a distance. No one. It's comfortable.

The bell tower of the Church...

The second thing to see is Basilica di Santa Chiara. Basilica di Santa Chiara is a Roman style church built in the 13th century with steep walls and beautiful walls. St Clare, the daughter of the Assisi aristocrat, was buried in the church underground, where the Byzantine cross showed that she could talk to Saint Francis.

It's not far from where we live. We came here when the sun was setting. The light is really comfortable... Basilica di Santa Chiara, an Italian Gothic building also built in the 13th century, is characterized by the huge buttresses on both sides of the church and the external walls of pink and white stones. Saint Clare, the most important follower of Saint Francis, is buried here. There is a large square in front of the church. You can see the panoramic view of the mountain from here. It's a good viewing platform.

Let's do a nine hop run....

We are going to go down the mountain road to Margaret castle to overlook the scenery of Assisi. We passed by Duomo di San Rufino, the Cathedral of San Rufino in the sunset is very beautiful. You can enter it, but keep quiet【 Duomo di San Rufino] built in the 13th century, the Cathedral of San Rufino is a Roman style building. It was renovated by Galeazzo Alessi in the 16th century. The fountain of baptism of Saint Francis and Saint Clair is here. The front wall of the church is decorated with various figures and animal patterns. Opening hours: 7:00-noon & 14:30-19:00 in summer; From 7:00 to Noon & 14:30 to 18:00 in winter, you can walk 50 minutes from the railway station.

Along the mountain road, you can find the commanding height of Assisi. Here you can overlook Assisi and see the three churches just introduced, although it is not a beautiful scenery. But it's very comfortable.

Follow here to [Rocca Maggiore] Assisi Maggiore castle is the most magnificent building in the city. The hall displays the annual celebration records of Assisi and the life style of Tuscany nobles. The castle is built on a hill overlooking the beautiful scenery of the valley, Perugia and the vast Tuscan countryside.

The towering castle is made of stone. It looks very strong. We arrived a little late, so we didn't enter the castle. The vast square outside the castle overlooks Assisi.

You can see just now [Duomo di San Rufino] and [Basilica di Santa Chiara]

I also saw a father with his children practicing driving a tractor here....

What a beautiful sight. I hope we can travel hand in hand when we are old...

Stay at Rocca Maggiore until the sun sets and night falls.

Walking along the road, you can actually walk to the center of Assisi, which is the Piazza square. As always, in the center of Italy, there is only one square larger than others, with a fountain and a tower in the middle, without too many decorations. At the weekend market, there are still some remaining sheds, scattered on the roadside. On a cloudy day, it looks bleak. The tourists who come and go here all seem to come out and shuttle around the small shops in the square. I like the small shops here very much. They sell all the things that the owners like, such as crafts, old postcards and homemade gadgets. The owners will be very enthusiastic. If you buy the things that they also like, the recognition after sharing is the most happy, isn't it? The city hall square of Assisi has been the center of the city since Roman times. To the north is the temple of Minerva, to the south is the palace of pulioli, and to the East is the Cathedral of Saint Luciano.

Although not many Chinese people go to Assisi, Assisi is also a very mature travel destination. It can be seen from its shops all over the town that the people of Assisi, on one floor, have developed small shops selling souvenirs and handicrafts, most of which are refrigerator stickers, gifts and gifts with Saint Francis elements.

The wine stopper is still very interesting....

Asixi is also rich in ham, and the huge hams hanging on the top of his head are also very spectacular....

This is a fairy tale world. I love everything.... But the price is not cheap, finally followed Santa Claus to go back, the heart is dripping blood...

And this as like as two peas. They are just like me on that day. They can't help but accept it.

I love this window.. Everyone wants to take a bite...

Today's trip is to Perugia, a medieval ancient city not far from Assisi. Perugia is the capital of Umbria. It's tens of kilometers away from Assisi. You can go by train. Yesterday, I bought the train ticket to Perugia at Assisi station. I got up in the morning and had breakfast in the hotel. The breakfast is still very rich. In Europe, the daily breakfast for more than ten days is of this kind.

Eat and drink, and get ready to go. Next to the hotel is Assisi's post office. It's a very small window. If you don't read it carefully, you may miss it. As usual, you sent yourself a postcard. Today, when you write your travel notes, you have received it properly.

Perugia, a city in central Italy. Located in the north of Rome, the mountains and hills of the upper Tiber River. The altitude is 465 meters. On the high ground of the city, you can overlook the valley of the middle reaches of the Tiber River and the lake Tracy Meno. The population is 168000 (2011). Agricultural products distribution center. There are pottery, art products, matches, food and other industries. Railway and highway hub. Tourism is also more important. The University of Perugia, built in the 13th century, and the ruins of the walls of the etrascans in ancient Italy. The national collection of fine arts includes famous paintings of the Renaissance. Beautiful scenery and beautiful environment.

Let's go, Perugia

From Assisi to Perugia, you should first make a bus from the ancient city to Assisi station, and then make a train to Perugia station. After getting off, you should also make a bus to Perugia ancient city. In fact, it's full of curves to save the country, ha ha. On the first journey, we are going to give up the bus and walk to the station, because the weather is so beautiful today. It's very pleasant to walk on the path of the ancient city.

Looking back at the ancient city after walking out of a section of the road, it's really an ancient city built on the mountain...

Sprinkling with flowers...

When you get to axixi station, remember to punch in the ticket. This is the punch in machine. After you punch in, you can wait for the train to come.

There are few people on the train....
