Italy's villages and small art towns, in your pocket.
Short, practical guides: where to park, what to see and in which order, hills, toilets, accessibility. Every place is visited in person and nothing is sponsored.
Assisi – Gubbio Pocket
Two Umbrian hill towns in one practical guide: parking, lifts and escalators, what to see and in which order, accessibility.
Before you go
For each town, a page with the official websites to check and the date of my last check.
Car parks with escalators, shuttles and basilica opening times: what to check before the climb.
Lifts, cable car and car parks: opening times change with the seasons and the festivals.
Monument tickets, mosaic opening times and car parks: worth checking before your visit.

How the guides are made
Visited in person
I have seen every place I mention. If I have not visited somewhere, I mark it with a symbol.
No sponsors
No restaurant, hotel or shop pays to be included. The opinions are mine alone.
Practical first
Parking, lifts, toilets, accessibility, children: the questions people really ask.
