Assisi is a beautiful town of white and pink marbles. On sunny days you can enjoy a wonderful contrast with the clear blue.
It would be convenient to take a train to go to Assisi. From Rome and from Florence there are many direct trains and you can stop over at some of the ancient towns of central Italy like Foligno, Perugia, and Spoleto. (Italian Railways ticket is valid for the time and you can stop off as many times as you want within the expiry time. Please see "how to ride a train in Italy".
It's highly recommended to stop over in the town of Spoleto. Beautiful, beautiful place with the Duomo and a famous huge bridge (Ponte delle Torri). It's worth to visit Spoleto's Festival in July (www.spoletofestival.it) , too.
From Assisi railway station, there is a bus service to the old town of Assisi.
You can buy bus tickets in the shops of the railway station (approximately 0.80 euros). There are several bus stops along the periphery of the town, bus near the center of the town most of all tourist get off so it's hard to mistake.
Some devout Catholics go to the town walking from the station for pilgrimage. I recommend only for long roadrunners... it takes more than 20 minutes uphill.
