Perched atop a plateau, the town of Orvieto has a history spanning over 3,000 years. Today, it stands as a testament to Gothic architecture and Etruscan heritage. Your journey begins with a visit to its Duomo, one of Italy’s most impressive cathedrals, renowned for its frescoes and façade. From there, you'll delve beneath the city’s surface on a guided underground tour through ancient Etruscan tunnels.
Next, you'll be captivated by Pozzo di San Patrizio, a well featuring a double-spiral staircase designed to ensure easy access to water. After immersing yourself in Orvieto’s past, you'll have free time to enjoy an Umbrian lunch. Your tour driver will be happy to recommend the perfect spot to savour regional flavours.
Your adventure continues to Civita di Bagnoregio, a fairytale-like village accessible only by footbridge. With just a handful of residents, this town offers a glimpse into the past with its narrow streets and medieval buildings. During your visit, you'll explore an ancient olive oil press, originally crafted by the Etruscans, which showcases the area’s traditions. As the day draws to a close, sit back and relax on your journey back to Rome.
