theatre all in the historic centre of the town for those who wish to explore
the city’s rich cultural heritage. One of the most fascinating tours one can do
is to explore the subterranean world of Orvieto with its seemingly endless
network of underground tunnels, galleries and caves that honeycomb the rock
underneath the city. During its some 2500 year history these underground areas
have variously been lived in, worked in and provided shelter during some of the
more turbulent times of the town’s past.

Central position to visit other town
- Orvieto is centrally located on the Italian peninsula
in the region of Umbria. It is conveniently situated close to the main A1
autostrada that links Rome and Milan as well as being on the central railway
route with fast trains to many major cities.
There are frequent fast trains to Rome and Florence and by road it is
easy to explore many of the major sights in Umbria, Tuscany and Lazio in a day
such as Rome, Florence, Siena, Perugia, Assisi, Arezzo although a day is hardly
enough to do them justice. As well as the larger cities there are many smaller
gems to visit such as Todi, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Pienza and Spoleto. With
so much to see many people decide to add a few days before or after the wedding
to take the opportunity to visit these exceptional cities and towns as well as
exploring the lovely countryside which offers some of the most stunning scenery
in Europe.
