Siena

UNESCO has declared the historic centre of Siena a World Heritage Site. It is one of the nation's most visited tourist attractions, and it’s famous for its cuisine, art, museums, medieval cityscape and the Palio, a horse race held twice a year.

Duomo di Orvieto

Situated in a position dominating the town of Orvieto which sits perched on a volcanic plug, the cathedral's façade is a classic piece of religious construction, with a large rose window, golden mosaics and three huge bronze doors, while inside resides two frescoed chapels decorated by some of the best Italian painters of the period with images of Judgment Day.

Admission Not Included

Orvieto Underground

Orvieto has a labyrinth of grottoes in the silent darkness of the rupe (rock). The distinctive geological nature of the mass of stone on which it stands allowed its inhabitants to dig, in the course of about 2500 years, an incredible number of cavities extending, overlapping and intersecting beneath the modern structure of the city.
