Town in Italy
3 things to see
Orvieto is a hilltop Umbrian town with a cathedral facade that rivals any in Italy, and admiring it from the piazza costs nothing. The compact historic center is free to wander, and the town sits directly on the main railway line, making it an easy and cheap day trip from Rome. Local Umbrian wines stay affordable, and a stay here runs gentler than the big Tuscan towns to the north.
What to see
What each one costs, where the cost is known.
The Gothic facade of Orvieto's Duomo is one of Italy's most spectacular, covered in golden mosaics, sculptures, and intricate reliefs. The exterior is free to study for as long as you like, and the Signorelli frescoes inside the chapel are among the most underrated in the country.
A network of Etruscan-era tunnels, wells, and quarries carved into the tufa rock beneath the city over 2,500 years. Guided tours reveal olive presses, pigeon coops, and medieval escape routes hidden below the streets.
This Renaissance engineering marvel features two intertwining spiral staircases that descend 54 meters into the rock so that donkeys carrying water could go up and down without meeting. The design is as clever as it is photogenic.
