Worth A Visit : All Assisi roads lead to the Piazza del Commune. This area of Assisi, at least for me, was like the heart of the city. Great place to congregate if you are in a group to sit and reflect and plan. For the most part, you can not avoid this when you visit Assisi

THE BEST REVIEW

Great Place : We visited the picture gallery of Città di Castello in the day families at the museum with a well prepared guide and the children did the workshop on the frescoes. After we continued to discover the gallery with the help of a book for children who give wings but we did not like much entrance.

THE BEST REVIEW

Charming Place : Suggestive. Hidden in the woods, only on foot, is one of the largest Buddhist temples in Europe. Only I do not remember the name. They also do hospitality. But it does not appear on any map, but with Googles I invite anyone to find it because I was impressed by how beautiful it was.

Wonderful Church of St. Francis: Visiting this church with an experienced guide will make memorable journey well-worth. The exterior of the church is majestic and interior is glittering with magnificence and elegance. The frescoes are captivating. The original 1,200-year old church inside the basilica is a must-visit for a history buffs. The gift shop is a bonus.

Well Maintained : Lovely short self guided tour with some wonderful relics at the end. Most people come to Assisi for the other Basilica but be sure not to miss this one. It is a lot more calm and relaxing to walk through with less noise and crowd.

THE BEST REVIEW

Such A Lovely Place : Such a lovely place, especially in the down season where there aren't as many tourists. We didn't stay here but visited for the day. There isn't a great deal to actually do, but plenty to see and discover. The view and serenity are worth the trip for sure. A must see for somewhere more central of Italy.

History and Architecture: Fontana Maggiore is one of the crown jewels of Perugia. It is unlike any fountain anywhere in the world; both in terms of design and the statues that surround it. The fountain is surrounded by 50 bas-reliefs and 24 statues; each with their own history and story to tell.

THE BEST REVIEW

Just Amazing : This is one of the best art galleries we have ever visited in all our years of travel. The paintings are amazing mainly of a religious nature dating from the 11th century onwards set in 40 rooms, so be prepared to spend at least four hours to see it all.

A tour of the oldest palace in Tuscany: This historical building in Perugia is the oldest palace in Tuscany. The palace is partially opened to visitors and has a beautiful view from the tower. It's about 16 euros for the entry. The palace also has the site tour, the museum, the Pinacoteca, the Alabaster Ecomuseum, the Acropolis and Roman Theater. If you are a history buff like us, you would love the place.
