Il borgo storico di Assisi è a dir poco spettacolare; per non parlare delle chiese. La basilica di San Francesco, poi, è il top.

Assisi, dal punto di vista storico culturale, in particolare, per quanto attiene all'aspetto religioso, racchiude TUTTO, merita di essere visitata ed apprezzata, dalla popolazione planetaria. È il centro di tutto!
Va sottolineato che: per la ristorazione è meglio attrezzarsi con il "panino al seguito" , soprattutto per chi va a fare turismo religioso con famiglia. I costi per la ristorazione sono esageratamente, lievitati. Salvo, che vengono confezionati con la benedizione dei Santi del posto!
