The sanctuary city of Assisi – loop tour

After arriving in Assisi, I first look for my accommodation. It's a little out of the way, a 15-minute walk away, a country house with a lovely ambiance as a reward - unfortunately, I didn't bring a swimsuit for the pool. After the usual shower, however, I set off again to explore the city. A bit of a culture shock after the solitude of the walk. As in Florence, groups of visitors of all nationalities wander through the city - souvenir knick-knacks galore...no one needs that!!! Furthermore, a medieval festival has been going on all week. On every corner, people are tinkering, painting, and decorating. Many streets leading to the central square, the Plaza del Comune, are blocked off - cars squeeze through...I wouldn't drive a single step here, it's so narrow. This medieval city has so many nooks and crannies, it's impossible to take in everything, let alone photograph it all. The alleys are connected by stairs, steps, and steep little streets - that's a real workout for my legs and feet. After dinner with my fellow pilgrims, I have to find my way back in the dark – what a surprise, even the smallest alleys are no longer lit, so I have to use the navigation system to find the right way down.
