Planning a Trip to Assisi? Here’s Where to Stay

Planning a trip to Assisi is often the beginning of a journey through Umbria. Known for its history, spirituality and timeless beauty, Assisi is one of the most visited destinations in the region, and for good reason.But when it comes to deciding where to stay, many travelers find themselves asking a simple question:
should you stay in Assisi, or somewhere nearby?

While staying in Assisi can offer a unique and peaceful atmosphere, it is not always the most practical or complete choice, especially if you want to explore more of Umbria.

This is why many travelers choose to stay in Perugia. Perugia is one of the best places to base your stay when visiting Assisi and the surrounding region. Located just 20 minutes away, it allows you to visit Assisi easily, while enjoying a more dynamic and comfortable setting .

As a larger city, Perugia offers more: more restaurants, more cultural sites, more events and more opportunities to experience local life beyond the main tourist routes. It is also better connected, making it easier to explore other destinations across Umbria, from Gubbio to Lake Trasimeno, and even further.

Staying in Perugia means expanding your trip. Instead of limiting your stay to a single destination, you open the possibility to discover a wider part of the region, while always having a lively and welcoming place to return to.

Assisi becomes a highlight of your journey, not the only stop.
