Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: flip this switch on and Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- turn it off again any time, or reveal the real photo for just one place at a time from its own page.

Orvieto

Learn about Orvieto

A concise introduction to Orvieto, its geography, history and culture.

Introduction

Changed

The lovely, perfectly preserved Orvieto is rich in religious and archeological treasures. Its main attraction is the colorful cathedral, with a stunning gold facade that holds some beautiful frescoes. In summer the historical buildings throughout Orvieto feature a series of concerts during the famous Jazz festival.

Umbria has unfairly been ignored at the expense of Tuscany over the border but has many attractive towns with a unique character, beautiful scenery and great cultural importance that are worth a visit.
