Highlights
  • Orvieto - Orvieto’s history begins nearly three millennia ago with the Etruscan civilization in Italy’s Umbria region.
    Now, it stands as a town of ancient charm perched atop a volcanic tuff cliff, rising 1066 feet above sea level.
    Take the opportunity to explore this town by meandering through its quintessentially Italian streets, marveling at its renowned cathedral (Duomo), and delving into its archaeological subterranean site.

  • Duomo di Orvieto - Behold one of the world’s architectural marvels, the Duomo di Orvieto, located in the town’s central piazza. Construction of this cathedral spanned from 1290 to 1591 A.D., culminating in a structure that seamlessly blends Gothic and Romanesque elements, sure to capture your gaze. Should time allow, you may also step inside to appreciate its interior.

  • Orvieto Underground - Following your stroll through the city, embark on a journey to the Orvieto Underground.
    Partake in a 60-minute guided exploration through a network of passageways carved out by the city’s ancient residents over two and a half millennia. Entrance fees are included.

  • Civita di Bagnoregio - Post-Orvieto excursion, unwind with a meal at an authentic, off-the-beaten-path Italian eatery en route to Civita di Bagnoregio. Here, you’ll savor the essence of rustic Italian fare.

  • Civita di Bagnoregio - Dubbed ‘The Dying City,’ Civita di Bagnoregio emerged atop a volcanic tuff hill as an Etruscan settlement some two thousand years ago.
    As you approach the town, you’ll encounter a slender, pedestrian-only bridge leading to Civita. Once across, you’ll find yourself in ‘la Piazzetta,’ or ‘the little square,’ home to the San Donato Cathedral, and have the chance to wander through a town that stands virtually uninhabited.
