ORVIETO WALKING TOUR AND CATHEDRAL
Founded by the Etruscans, dominated by the Romans and celebrated by the Popes, Orvieto, with its centuries of history, is one of the best-known cities in the region. With a local guide, we immerse ourselves in the alleys and palaces discovering the true nature of this city built in tufa: from the immense facade of the Duomo, through the medieval streets and squares to the ruins of Etruscan temples, we thus have a complete view of what is today's Orvieto discovering its glorious past. Visiting the city feels like being suspended in the air; from the top of the steep cliff on which it is built, you can dominate with your gaze all the surrounding hills and vineyards, savoring all the essence of Umbria!
ITINERARY
Stage 1: Meeting and departure
The meeting point to begin the journey of discovery of the city is in Piazza Duomo, in front of the church of San Giacomo all'Ospedale at 10 am.
Stage 2: Cathedral of Orvieto
The tour starts from one of the most beautiful squares in the region, namely Piazza Duomo, where the splendid Cathedral Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta is located, a Gothic building that leaves one stunned at the sheer charm of its exterior structures. The effect caused by the interweaving of black and white marble on the exterior walls is sublime, and the main facade, more than 50 meters high, features spires and buttresses typical of the Umbrian Gothic style.
Stage 3: Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo
The Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo (or People's Palace) is the symbol of people's power in the Middle Ages. Located in the square of the same name, the Palace is a beautiful example of medieval architecture, is built in the 14th century and housed a very important figure in the life of medieval free communes: the Capitano del Popolo. Piazza del Popolo was anciently the center of econimic and social life, still today it is often the site of markets of various kinds that enliven the historic center!
Stage 4: Piazza della Repubblica and church of Sant'Andrea
Still an important center of Orvieto's social life, Piazza della Repubblica is home to two important buildings in the city: the Town Hall and the church of Sant'Andrea. The charm one feels in this square is surely given by the perfect integration of medieval structures and 18th-century buildings, and it is precisely the great variety of forms and styles that makes it an essential stop on our tour. Certainly, among the peculiarities of the square is the dodecagonal bell tower that stands right next to the facade of the church, a masterpiece of rare beauty that is absolutely not to be missed!
Stage 5: Medieval Quarters
Even a simple walk through the alleys of the city, thanks to the stories of those who live those places on a daily basis, can become a splendid journey through time! This is what you will experience as you pass through the medieval quarters of Orvieto with our guide, who will know how to make you relive past atmospheres in what is the ancient heart of the city!

Founded by the Etruscans, dominated by the Romans and celebrated by the Popes, Orvieto, with its centuries of history, is one of the best-known cities in the region. With a local guide, we immerse ourselves in the alleys and palaces discovering the true nature of this city built in tufa: from the immense facade of the Duomo, through the medieval streets and squares to the ruins of Etruscan temples, we thus have a complete view of what is today's Orvieto discovering its glorious past. Visiting the city feels like being suspended in the air; from the top of the steep cliff on which it is built, you can dominate with your gaze all the surrounding hills and vineyards, savoring all the essence of Umbria!
ITINERARY
Stage 1: Meeting and departure
The meeting point to begin the journey of discovery of the city is in Piazza Duomo, in front of the church of San Giacomo all'Ospedale at 10 am.
Stage 2: Cathedral of Orvieto
The tour starts from one of the most beautiful squares in the region, namely Piazza Duomo, where the splendid Cathedral Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta is located, a Gothic building that leaves one stunned at the sheer charm of its exterior structures. The effect caused by the interweaving of black and white marble on the exterior walls is sublime, and the main facade, more than 50 meters high, features spires and buttresses typical of the Umbrian Gothic style.
Stage 3: Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo
The Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo (or People's Palace) is the symbol of people's power in the Middle Ages. Located in the square of the same name, the Palace is a beautiful example of medieval architecture, is built in the 14th century and housed a very important figure in the life of medieval free communes: the Capitano del Popolo. Piazza del Popolo was anciently the center of econimic and social life, still today it is often the site of markets of various kinds that enliven the historic center!
Stage 4: Piazza della Repubblica and church of Sant'Andrea
Still an important center of Orvieto's social life, Piazza della Repubblica is home to two important buildings in the city: the Town Hall and the church of Sant'Andrea. The charm one feels in this square is surely given by the perfect integration of medieval structures and 18th-century buildings, and it is precisely the great variety of forms and styles that makes it an essential stop on our tour. Certainly, among the peculiarities of the square is the dodecagonal bell tower that stands right next to the facade of the church, a masterpiece of rare beauty that is absolutely not to be missed!
Stage 5: Medieval Quarters
Even a simple walk through the alleys of the city, thanks to the stories of those who live those places on a daily basis, can become a splendid journey through time! This is what you will experience as you pass through the medieval quarters of Orvieto with our guide, who will know how to make you relive past atmospheres in what is the ancient heart of the city!
