After lunch, we will take a guided tour of Orvieto Sotterranea and discover the city beneath a city. The guided tour of Orvieto Sotterranea is the best way to get in touch with this very special cultural aspect of a city rich in history and artistic gems. Step by step, mysterious and fascinating echoes speak of the Etruscan Velzna, while ghosts of the medieval and Renaissance city emerge from the damp shadows. Where the winding underground route runs parallel to the cliff, from panoramic openings the day contends in the darkness with a succession of tunnels, stairways, unexpected passages and overlapping rooms.

Perugia, the capital of Umbria, is worth a visit not only for the beauty of its hilltop location, but also for its beautiful ancient buildings.
