    Hiking

    If you stay in Assisi for several days, you should not only visit the classic downtown destinations that all guests call at; but a trip to Monte Subasio above the city is also highly recommended. There is the hermitage "Eremo delle Carceri" called Carceri. San Francesco (Saint Francis of Assisi) liked to go to this place to retreat to the solitude of the mountain and be alone in prayer with God.
