Explore the Mystic and Sacred Town of Assisi
The hilltop town of Assisi, overlooks a picturesque valley and is famous the world over as the birthplace of Saint Francis. Walking through the winding, tiny streets of this ancient hamlet, your guide will regale you with tales of the region's rich history. Examine Giotto's one-of-a-kind depictions of Saint Frances of Assisi's life in the Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi to learn more about the importance of this popular pilgrimage site. You can go on to the Basilica of Santa Chiara, a shrine dedicated to Saint Clare of Assisi.
After that, you'll have time on your own to have a stroll around the charming town and take in the quiet and tranquil atmosphere that is so typical of this fascinating place. The next attraction is the Santa Maria degli Angeli Church, where the Franciscan Order was first formed.
Discover the Beauty of Cortona
After a short photo stop at the picture-perfect Passignano Sul Trasimeno commune, cross again into Tuscany and continue on to Cortana, the day's final destination.
The Etruscans founded this beautiful town, which is today famous for the architectural masterpieces it possesses and the wonderful views it gives of the surrounding verdant hills. Cortona is also famous across the world for being the setting for the shooting of "Under the Tuscan Sun," which took place in both the United States and Italy.
