Set off on a delightful day trip to Orvieto, a storybook hilltop town in Umbria bursting with medieval charm, stunning architecture, and rich history. Your adventure begins with a scenic 1.5-hour drive from Rome through Italy’s rolling countryside.
Perched dramatically on a volcanic cliff, Orvieto greets you with breathtaking views and its crown jewel, the Orvieto Cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece adorned with mosaics and frescoes.
Stroll the cobbled streets, browse artisan shops, and stop by St. Patrick’s Well, an ingenious spiral descent into medieval engineering. For lunch, you’ll be spoilt for choice with plenty of local trattorias to choose from where Umbrian flavours come to life.
After lunch, venture into Orvieto’s Underground City, a hidden maze of ancient tunnels, or explore the Papal Palace, home to centuries of art and intrigue. Whatever you decide to do, you’ll be stunned by the beauty that surrounds you.
Relax on your comfortable ride back to Rome, carrying with you the magic of Orvieto’s timeless beauty, artistic treasures, and irresistible old-world charm.
