9Civita di Bagnoregio, Lazio

Civita di Bagnoregio is a hilltop village often referred to as “the dying town” because of erosion, yet it charms visitors with its medieval streets and timeless atmosphere.

Italians love to visit off-season to wander its narrow lanes, sip coffee in quiet piazzas, and admire the panoramic views without crowds. The village feels like stepping back in time, and entry is modest, making it both peaceful and affordable.
