Civita di Bagnoregio — Attraction in Bagnoregio

During my visit to Civita di Bagnoregio, I was immersed in an atmosphere of absolute peace and tranquility for about 30 minutes, devoid of any tourists. This mystical small town, an embodiment of ancient and medieval heritage, stirred within me a profound sense of wonder.

The serene ambiance was nothing short of captivating, accentuated by the absence of crowds. Strolling through its streets, I encountered a living relic of history, where each stone and building spoke volumes about the past eras that shaped its identity.

One of the highlights of our vacation. It's a spectacular medieval town, also known as the dying village. It is important to know that not all cars can reach this place, we had a 6 seater and it is not allowed to go in. Instead we parked just outside the city main gate and took a shuttle for a small fee of 2.50 with a return drive. A fee of 5 euro is also applicable if you want to walk up to the village. It is worth the visit in my opinion. The village is on a hilltop and you need to cross a bridge. It is not an easy walk. Once you reach the village you can find coffee shops, restaurants, souvenir shops and beautiful views and corners to take memorable photos. We enjoyed a fresh panini with porchetta and goat cheese at La Bottega di Leone and also purchased salamis to take home with us, which were priced very well. They were very kind to vacuum and pack them for us. The panini were between 5 to 6 euro depending on what you choose. They prepare them fresh for you. If you are around this area make sure to visit...

Bagnoregio was definitely a cool spot to go visit. My guide told me that only 11 people have a place here, but only 2 people actually live here. Google shows there are some rentals if you want to stay here. Remember, you do have to walk aways which wasn't too bad for only having to do it once. I'm not sure I would want to do it on a repeating basis unless I was in really good shape. I bought a couple of items from a gift shop, and others on my tour sat and had lunch at a cafe. I walked around and explored the city since it's so small and could be done in about 30 minutes. The only area I didn't make it to was the garden because the sun was setting, and I wanted to get some nice sunset pics. There are some cute cats that also live here. Depending on when you go, it can be busy, so buy tickets and reserve the shuttle ahead of time. Or join a tour, and it will be all taken...
