9Orvieto – A Hilltop Marvel in Umbria

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.
