How to reach
By air: Central Italy's closest major airports are in Rome, Pisa, and Florence.
By train: From the North, the main line between Florence and Rome has a
station at Terontola (on the branch line to Lake Trasimene, Perugia,
Assisi, Spello, and Foligno), so coming from Florence take one of the
dozen daily trains to Terontola/Cortona (1'/2 hr.) that meet up with a
connecting train to Assisi/S.Maria degli ANgeli (45 to 60 min.).
From the South, the main line between Rome and Ancona has a station at
Foligno (on the branch line to Spello, Assisi, Perugia and Lake
Trasimene), so coming from Rome, take one of the nine daily trains on
the line to Ancona, stop at Foligno (1 hr., 40 min. to 2 hr.), where you
can transfer to a Perugia-bound train (10 to 15 min.).
All the cited lines are part of the FS state-run railway system and stop
at a station on Santa MAria degli Angeli, well away from the historic
center (about 3km) but a 30-minute ride on buses from the center of
town (C Line). Bus services leave from the forecourt outside the station
and drop you in Piazza Matteotti.
