Orvieto!

This weekend I was going to go to Venice and then into the dolomites but there was a train strike on Sunday. I decided to take a day trip to Orvieto and Civita di Bagnoregio instead. I'll do a separate post for Civita because I have so many pics! Orvieto was a beautiful town between Florence and Rome. It was built on top of a hill, so I took a cable car to the top. Their Cathedral was huge and highly decorated. It reminded me a lot of the Duomo in Florence but still had very unique decorations. The town was quiet and not very touristy which was awesome coming from Florence now entering the tourist season. There was a lot of parks and one at the edge of the hill the town was built on. This park was beautiful and had a lot of ruins from what looked like medieval architecture. They also had a parking garage! This sounds like a strange thing to include but I haven't seen one of those in a few months. However, on the top level of the parking garage instead of uncovered parking they had real grass soccer fields and a playground. This day trip was definitely worth it and was super fun to check out another Italian town.Læs mere
