Perched dramatically atop volcanic rock, Orvieto is just 1 hour and 15 minutes away by train. The town’s skyline, dominated by its magnificent Cathedral of Orvieto, captures the essence of medieval Italy.
The cathedral’s intricate façade is a masterpiece of Gothic art, shimmering with mosaics and sculptures. Beneath the surface, the Orvieto Underground reveals a labyrinth of ancient tunnels carved by the Etruscans more than 2,500 years ago. Enjoy a glass of crisp Orvieto Classico wine at one of the local enotecas while gazing across the Umbrian countryside—this is Italy at its most enchanting.
When people hear about Italy, they usually think of art-filled streets, local wine, or sumptuous Italian foods but, this country has something more to offer.
