    Civita di Bagnoregio

    February 22 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    This town was the reason I wanted to go to Orvieto. Orvieto is the closest train station to Civita, so you have to take a bus or taxi from the train station to Bagnoregio. Then in order to get from Bagnoregio to Civita di Bagnoregio you have to walk because no cars are allowed in Civita. It is sometimes referred to as the "disappearing town" because similarly to Orvieto, it was built on a hill. This hill is tiny and is slowly eroding away on the sides which will eventually cause the buildings to fall of the sides of it. The town was so beautiful and had a few residents along with a few restaurants. Since the hill was so small every street you walked on you could see the mountains in the distance from. The stone buildings matched the scenery around them and it was so beautiful. I wish I had a little more time here to explore more but it was so cool and so fun to walk around in. No cars was also a great break from almost getting hit by taxis every day in Florence!Read more
