Closest Airports
Central Italy's closest major airports are in Rome, Pisa, and Florence.
Assisi is not far from Rome, Pisa or Florence and can be easily reached from these cities by train, bus or car.
• The major international hub is Rome's Aeroporto Leonardo da Vinci, known as Fiumicino (FCO)
• Pisa's Aeroporto Galileo Galilei (PSA) has flights from London, Amsterdam, Brussels, and Paris, as well as connections to Rome and Milan
• Florence's Aeroporto A. Vespucci, known as Peretola (FLR) has connections to Brussels, Paris, London, Rome, and Milan
• Perugia's tiny Aeroporto Sant'Egidio (PEG) only has daily flights to and from Milan, where direct flights are available from and to most of the main international destinations. Perugia is the closest airport to the venue
Getting To Assisi by train
From the North of Italy, the main line between Florence and Rome has a station at Terontola (on the branch line to Lake Trasimeno, Perugia, Assisi, Spello, and Foligno), so if you are coming from Florence you can take one of the dozen daily trains to Terontola/Cortona (1/2 hr.) that meet up with a connecting train to Assisi/S.Maria degli Angeli (45 to 60 min.).
From the South of Italy, the main line between Rome and Ancona has a station at Foligno (on the branch line to Spello, Assisi, Perugia and Lake Trasimene), so if you are coming from Rome, take one of the nine daily trains on the line to Ancona, stop at Foligno (1 hr., 40 min. to 2 hr.), where you can transfer to a Perugia-bound train (10 to 15 min.).
All the cited lines are part of the FS state-run railway system and stop at a station on Santa Maria degli Angeli, well away from the historic center (about 3km) but a 30-minute ride on buses from the center of town (C Line). Bus services leave from the forecourt outside the station and drop you in Piazza Matteotti.
Getting to Assisi by car
From the North of Italy (Milan, Florence), the best exit for Assisi is the A1 motorway at Valdichiana, where the superstrada SS75bis branches into Umbria at Lake Trasimene and continues towards Perugia-Assisi.
From Rome travelling northwards along the A1 motorway the best exit for reaching Assisi is at Orte, which is connected to the regional capital at first by the SS204 to Terni and then by the E45 (or SS3bis) from Terni to Perugia-Assisi.
The A14 motorway down the Adriatic coast of Italy has an exit at Cesena for the E45 "superstrada" to Città di Castello and Perugia-Assisi.

Cars can be rented at any International airport. Rates are generally much more convenient if the reservation for the rental has been made in advance.
A credit card is necessary to rent a car, as well as a European driving license (or an international driving certificate for our non European guests) and a valid passport / European National ID.
Value Added Tax may come as a big surprise. The Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), which is optional in some countries (like USA), may not be optional in Italy.
For those who intend to rent in one city and deliver in another, drop-off charges will be added. No drop-off charges will incur for dropping off your car at different offices in the same city, such as at the airport and the city centre.
