Please note that the traditional spring festival ′Calendimaggio′ will be held in Assisi on May 3-6, 2023 (link to Calendimaggio web site). During this period, the residents of ‘upper’ and ‘lower’ parts of Assisi put on medieval dresses, and various shows/parades are held in the streets. The festival is quite unique and attracts a lot of visitors from all over Italy. It is strongly recommended that the participants book an accommodation as soon as possible, as around that time the hotels may become full.
It is best to find a hotel inside Assisi. Otherwise, you may stay in the area of Santa Maria degli Angeli, under the hill of Assisi. Note that the buses from the train station to the center of Assisi finish at around nine o’clock at night.
