There are many things to see and do, not least the Duomo – considered by many the most beautiful cathedral in Italy; Orvieto Underground, with its many tunnels and caverns that exist underneath the city dug by the ancient Etruscans and the famous Saint Patrick’s well.  Food lovers will be spoilt by the many restaurants, trattorias, pizzerias and gelaterias.
