Gita in bici di un giorno da Perugia a Assisi

Looking for a memorable bike ride through the heart of Umbria? Try this scenic route from Perugia to Assisi! Starting in Perugia, a vibrant hilltop city known for its medieval streets and famous chocolates, you’ll pedal southeast for about 29 km. Most of the ride takes you along quiet country roads, with gentle climbs and rewarding downhills—the ascent totals just under 400 meters.

You’ll roll through the rolling Umbrian countryside, passing olive groves and vineyards, with occasional stretches of gravel and loose surfaces to keep things interesting (so wider tires don’t hurt!). The last stretch brings you within sight of Assisi’s iconic Basilica, nestled on Monte Subasio’s slopes.

Assisi is a UNESCO World Heritage site, famed as the birthplace of St. Francis. Take a stroll through the ancient stone streets and enjoy a post-ride gelato in the main piazza. All in all, a perfect outing that blends history, scenery, and a little bit of adventure!
