What You’ll Experience

Orvieto

Perched high on a dramatic volcanic cliff, Orvieto is a masterpiece of medieval architecture and Etruscan history. The highlight of the town is the magnificent Orvieto Cathedral (Duomo), renowned for its ornate Gothic façade, golden mosaics, and the Chapel of San Brizio, decorated with frescoes by Luca Signorelli that inspired Michelangelo.

Stroll through charming cobblestone streets, artisan shops, and quiet piazzas, while learning about Orvieto’s Etruscan origins and medieval importance. You’ll also have time to enjoy lunch at a local restaurant (not included), savoring regional Umbrian cuisine.

Civita di Bagnoregio

Next, discover Civita di Bagnoregio, one of Italy’s most unique and photogenic villages. Accessible only by a pedestrian bridge, this tiny medieval town appears frozen in time, rising from a dramatic landscape of eroded cliffs.

Often called the “Dying City” due to gradual erosion, Civita offers narrow stone streets, ancient houses, and breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding valley. Walking through Civita feels like stepping into a living postcard—peaceful, atmospheric, and unforgettable.
