3Civita di Bagnoregio – The Dying Town

If you’re searching for something unique, head to Civita di Bagnoregio, located about 2 hours from Rome. Perched on a crumbling hilltop and accessible only by a pedestrian bridge, this tiny medieval village is often called “The Dying Town” due to the slow erosion of the land around it. 

Walking across the bridge feels like stepping into another world. Once inside, you’ll find quiet stone streets, charming cafés, and breathtaking views of the surrounding valley. It’s a place that captures both beauty and fragility in equal measure—an unforgettable experience.
