Compare up to three destinations

Put admission, arrival, visiting time and an indoor alternative side by side.

Clear comparison

Assisi · Franciscan places

Province of Perugia · Umbria · Italy

Admission and costs
This suggested walk between squares and Franciscan sites is not a ticketed Christmas event. The Treasury Museum, an optional indoor addition, accepts voluntary donations; transport, guided tours and other museums remain separate from the walk.
Getting there
Assisi station is in Santa Maria degli Angeli below the hill town. Take line C/Assisi Link towards Assisi: San Francesco stop in Piazza Unità d’Italy serves the first part of your visit, followed by an uphill walk through the centre.
Time to allow
Allow around 4 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The Treasury Museum and Perkins Collection is inside the St Francis complex, with voluntary donations. It closes Mondays, 8, 25 and 26 December, and 1 and 6 January; it is not a backup on those dates.

Terni

Province of Terni · Umbria · Italy

Admission and costs
The squares and city walk are free. CAOS costs €5 full price, €3.50 reduced, for the Aurelio De Felice and Claudia Giontella Archaeological museums; free admission has specific eligibility rules. Refreshments and other Christmas attractions are separate.
Getting there
From Terni station’s bus terminal, CAOS lists routes 8/E624 or 2, 5, 6/E622. Start at Via Franco Molè 25, then continue towards the centre: this visit excludes the separate Segantini commercial village at Strada Maratta Bassa 91.
Time to allow
Allow around 4 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
Focus on the two CAOS museums at Via Franco Molè 25 instead of the squares. Regular opening is Thursday–Sunday, 10am–1pm and 4–7pm; the €5 ticket covers the collections rather than city attractions.
