Orvieto and Civita di Bagnoregio (Driver Only/Self Touring)

One of the most unique structures you will discover upon arriving in Orvieto is its remarkable 14th-century cathedral that is nothing short of a masterpiece with a Gothic facade decorated with bas-reliefs and statues, and stunningly adorned with shimmering mosaics that sets it aglow under the sun’s rays.

Enjoy some leisure time to explore the lovely streets and squares in Orvieto. Poke your head in the artistic workshops and craft shops, enjoy a great gelato in a gelateria and watch the people go by.

An engineering marvel is this double-helix staircase leading down to the bottom of the well so that those going down are not impeded by those going up.

A small ancient village that clings to the precipice of the steep hill it sits on, a small island in an eerie sea of an uninhabitable landscape that makes up the surrounding valleys. For this reason, views of Civita di Bagnoregio from across the valley are incredibly picturesque. This is also one of the most popular villages featured in postcards from Italy. Civita is a traffic-free community and can be reached only by a footbridge suspended in the air. Perhaps for this reason, and its complete isolation from the real world, that only about 20 people live here year round.
