Rank : 9.7 (average on 10 votes)

Coordinates : 43.074531,12.60679 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : There is pretty much everything ... from portraits of pilgrims to the goal (although the Via Francigena is unfortunately little known) to photos of breathtaking scenery from the mountain Subasio or Rocca Maggiore in Assisi. Photos architectures will, churches and alleyways.

Recommended equipment : My equipment consisted of a 18-55 f3.5 non-stabilized and non-stabilized 75-300 too, not much but enough big. The paintings in the end I did not practically used (for the short time available) but I could exploit it more. I am convinced that I had the 15-85 USM of the canon would have gone even better. To evaluate a lens with a fixed focal length and a good opening ... you should pay a lot of good shots of the churches.

Best months : All year round (summer pretty hot)

How to get there : The train station is in Santa Maria degli Angeli (but figure at the foot of the mountain on which it stands Assisi (easily accessible by bus, the ticket costs one euro) For those who go by car there are enough parking (although it is a crime to see so many machines) advice to the cemetery, a little 'further but free and always almost empty and from there you enter directly in front of the Basilica in Assisi with the remains of St. Francis.

Visits : All the churches are a must, all free admission, some are closed from noon to two (the information office in the town square you will be able to provide a nice and tell you which remain open.) Are not found in the medieval village but are worth seeing : the sanctuary of San Damiano, the Hermitage, and the Portiuncula in Santa Maria degli Angeli.

Notes : From calmly visit and possibly taking care to respect the silence of the holy places and shrines where many pilgrims come to pray, this is also savor the atmosphere. Watch out for signs prohibiting taking pictures, no one eats but is a form of respect for the faithful.
