Best Orvieto Tours from Venice

This Umbrian town that dramatically sits on top of a chunk of volcanic rock called tufa can match any hilltop town in nearby Tuscany. Orvieto can be reached via funicular from the train station at the base of the hill. It is best known for its Duomo, one of the most ornate in Italy, and a network of Etruscan caves beneath the town, which visitors can explore. Strolling through Orvieto’s preserved medieval center on narrow cobblestone streets is like stepping back in time.
