Assisi to Spello: How to Get from the Railway Station to the Historic Centre

Assisi railway station is in Santa Maria degli Angeli, below Assisi’s historic centre. Its other common name is Assisi–Santa Maria degli Angeli station, so either name may appear when you plan a journey.

From Assisi Garden, the station is about 25 minutes on foot or 5 minutes by car. Once there, the simplest public-transport connection into the centre is the bus from the forecourt.

Bus line C, also called Assisi Link, connects the station with the historic centre and Basilica of San Francesco. Buses leave from the station forecourt and take about 10 minutes to reach the centre.

Busitalia says the service operates every day, with buses approximately every 30 minutes throughout the day. For a taxi, Radio Taxi Assisi is at Via Arco dei Priori 1/A; its phone number is +39 075 813100.

The station is below the historic centre, so walking means heading uphill toward Assisi. The provided route information does not give a walking distance or a walking time from the station to the centre; if you want to avoid the climb, take the bus or a taxi instead.

Assisi station is the rail departure point for planning onward travel, while the bus connects it with the town centre. Check your train arrangements and the bus connection separately before setting out; no journey duration or train frequency is stated here.

If you’re planning time in the neighbouring town, things to do in Spello on a day trip from Assisi can help shape that part of your itinerary.

The one-way Assisi railway station–Assisi Centro bus fare is €1.30 when added to a chosen rail fare. Trenitalia offers the combined rail-and-bus purchase through its website, app, station self-service machines, ticket offices, authorised travel agencies, PUNTOLIS tobacconists and Mooney outlets. A bus-only ticket for this segment cannot be purchased separately through Trenitalia’s sales channels.

Busitalia also describes the Assisi Link ticket as available as a single train-and-bus purchase through Trenitalia’s website or app, at self-service machines and ticket offices, and from authorised sales points.

RFI identifies three passenger platforms, a step-free route to platform 1 and tactile paving from the station entrance to platform 1. The station also has accessible toilets, reserved parking spaces, and audible and visual passenger-information systems. There is no lift-assisted route to a platform; raised platform edges and differences between platform and train-floor heights may affect access.

You can request assistance with reduced mobility in person at an RFI Sala Blu or by telephone up to 12 hours before train departure or arrival, during Sala Blu opening hours. Ancona is the reference Sala Blu for Assisi station.

Station opening and closing times correspond to the first and last train arrivals and departures under the current transport offer. Service details can change, so check the official site before you go: consult Trenitalia for combined tickets, Busitalia for Assisi Link, and RFI for station access and assistance.
