Hidden Gems Near Rome! Just an Hour Away from the "Sky City" Neighbor
🚂 Transportation From Rome: A 1-hour train ride will take you directly to Orvieto station. After exiting the station, transfer to the funicular (1.5 EUR) for a 5-minute ride up the hill. The cable car station is right next to the San Patrizio Well. 🚂 Sky City Tour : From Orvieto train station, take the Cotral bus for a 45-minute ride to Civita di Bagnoregio (remember to buy your ticket in advance at Tabbacchi). 🚌 There's plenty to do here! You can visit the stunning Orvieto Cathedral, take a cliffside walk (which feels like a "floating city" on foggy days), or just enjoy a leisurely stroll. In the evening, catch the sunset from the city walls before heading back down the hill by funicular. I highly recommend staying overnight to experience the starry skies and tranquil atmosphere. 🌅 🎟️ Pro Tip : Many people suggest purchasing the Orvieto Carta Unica (25 EUR), which includes tickets to the cathedral, underground city, and the well, saving you 30% compared to buying them separately. However, I chose not to visit these attractions because I wanted to avoid the typical tourist checklist. Instead, I focused on enjoying the peacefulness of the town, which was incredibly relaxing. 🌟 #DayTripsFromRome #CliffTopCity #OffTheBeatenPath #SkyCityAdventure #HikingAroundTheWorld #WorldHeritageCity
