Rome to Assisi and Orvieto Day Trip with Lake Trasimeno Lunch

Rome 12 hours 30 minutes

Depart Rome by coach and journey north along the Tiber River into the Umbria region, known for its gently rolling hills and historic villages. After about 90 minutes, reach Orvieto—a dramatic hilltop town perched atop volcanic rock, whose history extends back to the Etruscans. Take a walking tour of its enchanting streets and discover architectural gems like Orvieto Cathedral, a 13th-century Gothic masterpiece with exquisite stained glass, sculptures, and mosaics. Next, continue across scenic countryside toward Lake Trasimeno, stopping to enjoy lunch in this picturesque lakeside area. Then head to Assisi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated as the birthplace of St. Francis of Assisi—one of Italy’s patron saints and among the most influential figures in Christian history. Upon arrival, follow your guide on foot through the medieval lanes. See locations tied to St. Francis’ life, from the stall rumored to be his birthplace to his childhood home and the spot where he vowed to dedicate himself to the church. Learn also about St. Clare, another revered saint from Assisi. You’ll visit both the Convent of Santa Chiara, named in her honor, and the Basilica di San Francesco, dedicated to St. Francis. Among other highlights, admire the Roman Temple of Minerva in Piazza del Comune, the town hall, and the Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo. On the return trip, stop briefly in Santa Maria degli Angeli to visit a 9th-century basilica where St. Francis is believed to have once prayed. Your day concludes as you arrive back in Rome, filled with memories of Orvieto and Assisi’s rich spiritual and cultural heritage.
