Orvieto Italy- a Charming Hilltop Town! Umbria

[@stevejohnson2588]

Orvieto is amazing. There is another piazza about 5min NW of the duomo that is an even cooler drink spot. Thanks for the video!

[@SwiftyTravels]

I really wish I had more time in this charming town, thanks for watching!

[@brain_respect_and_freedom]

Umbria👍Nice. Thank you for your effort to bring to us this beauty place.

[@SwiftyTravels]

This town was amazing!! I really wish I had more time!!

[@SantosChronicles]

That has to be the biggest and most beautiful church I have ever seen. Too bad you ran out of time to see more. Italy is beautiful and haven’t been there since I was Rosalie’s age. Those alleys look like a movie scene. Thanks for taking us around.

[@SwiftyTravels]

This was my first time time in Italy and I was so astounded! 😮😀 thanks for checking it out!

[@AnnaTravels]

Looks like a charming city. Really need to plan an Italy trip.

[@SwiftyTravels]

Italy definitely exceeded my expectations!

[@Victor-wf2jg]

Loved this town and you can walk through the charming little town and down the hill and through a little bit of woods on a path and come out across from where the tour buses stop

[@Victor-wf2jg]

Ps the church was beautiful inside and outside

[@SwiftyTravels]

I loved it too! There is so much more to see that I missed, I'm ready to go back!

[@ColoradoMartini]

Italy is top on my list. I was hoping to go in the spring. You video is very helpful for us.

[@SwiftyTravels]

I highly recommend coming and spending more time in this town- it’s beautiful!

[@cal7348]

And for the most beautiful Beaches in the world visit our second big island, sardinia😊

[@Veloje]

Thanks to you, I visited the city of Orvieto.

[@SwiftyTravels]

Yay!! How did you like it?

[@TheJournalofanExplorer]

Another beautiful Italian town! Such a massive church for a small town aswell

[@SwiftyTravels]

Orvieto and Assisi were my favorite!!😍

[@stevenchambers6117]

It's a cathedral.

Video tip: when in Europe, set your iPhone camera settings to PAL format and you won’t see flickering lights everywhere. (50 frames per second or 25)

[@SwiftyTravels]

Thanks so much- I had no idea!!

Lovely video! Orvieto is less than 30mins north of us

[@SwiftyTravels]

@@SmallTownItaly one of my favorite spots we visited! I would love to go back and actually stay there!

[@edsteadham4085]

The tour of the caves where pigeons were raised for emergency food stores was fascinating. My Italian grandfather would kill pigeons for food.

[@SwiftyTravels]

I'll bet he has some interesting stories!

[@lts1888]

big sign for biglietti across the street from the Duomo, Incredible you did not buy a ticket and go in!

[@SwiftyTravels]

@@lts1888 I was with a group and by the time we got back to that area it was time to go. I’m so sad I missed it because it looks absolutely incredible!!!

[@edsteadham4085]

Lovely tiwn

[@SwiftyTravels]

Thank you I loved it!

[@douggt-m4s]

It has this really good sandwich shop

[@SwiftyTravels]

I’ll bet it’s delicious!

[@CactusAtlas]

That is one picturesque town. 😮 Too bad about the church. Can't imagine what the inside looks like considering the outside.

[@SwiftyTravels]

It was gorgeous!! I looked up images of the church after the fact- and man.. I missed out!!!

[@rogerwild1966]

I was there last week

[@SwiftyTravels]

Nice! Isn’t it beautiful? 😍

[@Scrambler85]

👍👍👍

[@SwiftyTravels]

Thank you!

[@Mongoose-ct6us]

Is Orvieto or Perugia nicer? Thanks in advance. Umbría is called the green heart of Italy.

[@SwiftyTravels]

Yes, the green heart of Italy! So lovely!!! We didn't stop in Perugia, so I don't know but I really loved Orvieto!

[@Mongoose-ct6us]

@@SwiftyTravels Would you say Orvieto is nicer than Siena as a day trip from Florence? Thanks in advance for reply

[@SwiftyTravels]

@@Mongoose-ct6us I’m sorry we didn’t go to Siena either. I would recommend Orvieto or Assisi as a great day trip from Florence.

[@Mongoose-ct6us]

@@SwiftyTravels Excelente. Thank you. Been to Italy twice but never been to Florence or Orvieto. On my list. Sardinia and abruzzo look nice too

[@FilippoCardoni]

@@Mongoose-ct6us Florence is one of a kind thing but it's obviously much more touristy. I visited Siena only once so I can't vouch for it but it wasn't bad. However, I live in a small city 45 minutes by car from Orvieto, called Todi. I would really recommend visiting Todi as well, it's smaller and has some accessibility problems (meaning, it's hard to find a parking lot that isn't full or free.. and it's on top of a hill, so you either use the public trasportation systems or go by foot) but it's characteristic, medieval, "authentic" italian vibe, amazing food. The city centre is small so you can visit most of the stuff in less than a full day but there are many other small things to see around especially if you have a car. So if you come by Orvieto, try to have a small step in Todi as well. Between Orvieto and Perugia I don't really know... surely Perugia is more known. I think they are equal but maybe Orvieto has a nicer aesthetic. I would also mention Spoleto, another pretty beautiful city on a hill, not too far from Orvieto... or if you decide to stop by Todi you could also reach Monte castello di vibio, these two you can visit in half a day :)

[@kattengat2]

You could have gone in the church. The guy was saying the ticket was to go up to the dome. The church is open I believe to all.

[@SwiftyTravels]

Bummer I missed it! I really wanted to go inside!! Next time

[@petersiegfriedkrug]

The Austrian writer Franz Innerhofer once lived here

[@SwiftyTravels]

It’s such a gorgeous town!!

[@FilippoCardoni]

You guys should also check out my hometown, Todi! 45 minutes by car from Orvieto, not as big or accessible as Orvieto but it's definitely characteristic, almost entirely medieval, and on top of a hill as well.

[@SwiftyTravels]

good to know, thank you! Small town Italy was my favorite! We will save that for next time!
