Assisi is a wonderful place to discover by bike: the medieval alleyways, the panoramic views over the Umbrian valley and the paths linking the hamlets immediately give you a feeling of freedom. In just a few pedal strokes, you can move from the bustle of the historic center to the olive groves, with superb views at sunrise or in the late afternoon, when the light gilds the stones.

For an accessible ride, take the time to cross the upper districts and then descend to the flatter areas around town, ideal for leisurely cycling. Nature lovers will appreciate the small roads winding between vineyards and groves, perfect for alternating photo breaks and more athletic stretches. If you're a family, it's best to choose routes with low gradients, and to avoid the heat by keeping to a low timetable.
