Civita di Bagnoregio is a unique town with only about 20 full time residents. It is accessible only be a foot bridge, no cars allowed. The views are majestic and well worth the trip.

Have been visiting there for 15 years but the last few years it has become very commercialized and not as quaint as it once was.

Photos will not do justice to display the awesomeness of civita di bagnoregio. You have to walk on the bridge that connects it to mainland snd look at it. It's also one of the less touristed places and you don't need a ticket to visit this ancient gem.

If visiting Umbria or Tuscany, plan a stop at this remarkable little decaying but charming village. We stopped on the way to Orvieto and were so happy we did. It is quite a hike up the walkway/footbridge to the still inhabited tiny village of Civita that has shops, full serve restaurants, and cafes serving wine, coffee, bruschetta, etc. Civita looks...

Outstanding, awe inspiring, incredible... transported in time and dumbfounded about what man is capable to do. An enjoyable walk, leisurely visit of the old city Cività di Bagnoreggio... during the summer enjoy eating icecream while roaming!

Be sure to take at least one day for visiting this spot, and combine with a tour of Orvieto. Very few Americans make the effort, so you will feel like you've made an exclusive discovery.

We were very lucky to have an afternoon in this unusual walled town. It is not like most and definitely worth the visit.

This is a hill town between Viterbo and Orvieto. It is reached by going through the town of Bagnoregio to a car park and then via a foot bridge to the village. The village is completely original, it has a number of restaurants (see my review for Antico Forno), a church, lots of great views across the surrounding countryside and... More

This town is breathtaking and enchanting. Fabulously quiet, feels remote and each corner and inlet has fabulous architecture, beautiful florals and vines, handsome doorways, spectacular views with an occasional cat walking around which makes it seem even more fairy tale. Do not miss it - do walk the short distance to see a magical setting. There are sweet places to... More

This town is worth walking over the long bridge and up the hill (no cars allowed). Look for Safina the donkey before crossing the bridge.
