Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Orvieto, Orvieto, Province of Terni, Umbria
Orvieto is a town of the region Umbria, situated on the flat summit of a large butte of volcanic tuff. The site of the city rises above the almost-vertical faces of tuff cliffs that are completed by defensive walls built of the same stone called Tufa. Orvieto was built originally in the Etruscan era, and it kept growing throughout the ages. It now has the looks of a medieval small town, but it’s still possible to understand its entire history by visiting the town’s most important sites.
Duration: 30 minutes
Pass By: Duomo di Orvieto, Piazza del Duomo 26, 05018, Orvieto Italy
Among the important sites to visit in Orvieto is the Duomo, one of the most magnificent you’ll ever see.
Stop At: Orvieto Underground, Piazza del Duomo 23, 05018, Orvieto Italy
Local small group tour guide will lead the way, a five-minute walk, to the entrance of the grottos and tunnels that riddle the cliff of Orvieto. Once you cross the threshold and enter this world of the past, easily accessible and well lit, you’re no longer in the year 2012 but begin your journey back in time. Your guide, like Dante’s Virgil, tells you what was here thousands of years ago, when oceans and great forests covered the plain before volcanoes spewed detritus and lava that covered everything. Eventually the butte on which the city now stands was formed and settled. It is here, in the Underground , that you can still find clues to what life, with the Etruscans was like six hundred years before Christ, and in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and finally the nineteen hundreds. So suspend disbelief, leave the twenty-first century behind and become a traveler in time.
