Reasons to go

Civita di Bagnoregio is nicknamed 'the dying town' due to erosion of its volcanic outcrop and shrinking population.
The town is reachable only by a single pedestrian bridge connecting it to the modern world.
Orvieto's Gothic cathedral sits atop its own tufa plateau alongside a local wine-producing tradition.

Full description

Civita di Bagnoregio sits atop an eroding volcanic outcrop, connected to the modern world by a single pedestrian bridge, and its shrinking, near-abandoned population has earned it the nickname 'the dying town' — a striking, almost surreal sight after Rome's dense centre. Orvieto, built on its own tufa plateau, adds a Gothic cathedral and a wine-producing tradition that the trip's included lunch and wines lean into.

With the highest hidden-gem score among Rome's day trips here, this suits travellers who've already covered the city centre and want somewhere genuinely less-trodden.

💡

Good to know

Wear good walking shoes, as Civita's cobbled streets and the approach bridge involve real effort, especially in heat
pace the wine tasting if you have an early return, since it's built into the day
bring cash for smaller vendors in Civita, where card acceptance can be patchy.

Reviews

Andreas kept the day fun and easy to follow, and our driver Luca was excellent. I would have preferred a little more time in Montepulciano, but the wine tasting and lunch were enjoyable.
