We loved wandering the streets of Orvieto and finding the hidden streets. It's so pretty on the hill and the area makes for a great place to explore the surrounding countryside.

This is a beautiful ancient city. A slower pace than rome, so it was a nice escape for a few days. There's great food, good wine, and it's so wonderful strolling around the beautiful old alleyways. The Etruscan history is fascinating. I recomment a visit!

What a beautiful town. Situated high on a plateau you can enjoy exploring the cobblestone streets Lined with shops & cafes.The must-see sight is the Duomo. The exterior has beautiful frescoes & sculptures.Not to be missed. Paid parking between 8 & 20 hours.

this is a very nice small town with the Dumo and many nice old buildings and narrow strrets. You feel like you are in the 18th or 17th century. worse a visit- good local food and wine

Orvieto is a gem! Quiet, charming, lots of small hotels, restaurants and shops. You can wander quietly or explore the Duomo (gorgeous both inside and out) or hike the Anello della Rupe.

Walk around the city all day, eat lots of icecream, lunch (go to the park with some local ham, porchetta, cheese and wine), enjoy good a dinner, buy food and wine to bring home. Speak a little italian and you'll get friends. People are friendly!

The town is amazing! We enjoyed "getting lost" exploring Orvieto, but it can get tiring. There are many steep streets and steps we had to climb in order to see the town. As it's high up on the hill, it can get very windy at the end of the day, but the views are to die for! The visit was... More

What an incredibly charming city! Our son is studying in Orvieto for the semester and we came to visit him. We loved everything about the city - the winding, cobbled streets, the lovely Duomo, the incredible views, the flowers and the people. We were only able to spend a day here, but it will be high on our list when... More

We took the 1:03pm slower train to Orvieto from Termini in Rome (15€ round trip, 2nd class) without doing much research. The departing train track is not posted until about 15 minutes before departure and if it is 2 est, it is at least a 10-15 minute walk to the far end to catch the train. Don't delay. Watch for...

If you are wanting to get out of Rome and a bit off the beaten track, catch a train trip to Orvieto. Its about 2 hours trip along lovely scenery to Orvieto from Rome and once there you have to ride up on a tram into the Walled city that sits on top of a hill. The views from the... More
