ASSISI
This city can get a bit crowded. People from all over Italy and the world to bask in the views of the birth place of St. Francis, who was born in 1181. The Basilica of San Francesco is where he was buried. The religious structure is saturated with frescos by famous artists who were extremely influential in the field of painting. Among those are Cimabue, Simione Martini, and Giotto. However, aside from all the religious associations in this wildly Catholic country, the city itself is incredibly charming and well-worth the visit, even if it doesn’t resinate with your religious views or customs.
GUBBIO
Gubbio hosts a festival every year that is definitely worth checking out if your vacation times are flexible. If you can make it here during the Festa dei Ceri, you won’t regret it! If not, there’s still plenty of aspects that make the city lovely to visit. Taking the cable car up to Mount Ingino is great for a wide view of the whole city and its surrounding panoramic views. Inside the city itself, you will see surrounded mountainous scenery and the Medieval structures and feeling that still lingers throughout the town.
