Miyazaki Hayao didn't deceive me! The Castle in the Sky does exist!!

🌟 Attraction Introduction: Located at the border of Tuscany and Umbria, the ancient town of Civita di Bagnoregio is known as the 'Castle in the Sky'. This medieval town, suspended above a deep valley, is like a pearl set upon the earth due to its unique geographical location and picturesque scenery. The ancient stone-paved roads, mottled stone walls, and simple houses exude a strong historical charm, making one feel as if they are in the midst of a thousand-year-long river of history. 🌍 Itinerary: DAY1: Depart from Rome and arrive in about two hours by car. After arriving in the morning, first visit the ancient town's eastern gate—Porta San Donato, to experience its weathered solemnity. Then stroll along the winding paths of the old town, exploring the mysterious underground passages and historic churches. DAY2: In the morning, you can climb to the top of the town to enjoy the rolling hills around, and in the afternoon, delve into the local folklore museum to understand the lifestyle and traditional crafts of the ancient town. At dusk, wait for the sunset at the observation deck, and admire the silhouette of the old town under the setting sun, a visual feast during the journey. 🚗 Transportation Tips: Departing from Rome Fiumicino Airport, the most convenient way is to rent a car and drive, enjoying the Tuscan countryside along the way. If you choose public transport, you can take a train to Orvieto station and then transfer to a bus to get there. Vehicles are not allowed inside the ancient town, but there is a designated parking area for tourists to park their cars, after which you can enter the old town via a pedestrian bridge. A trip to the ancient town of Civita di Bagnoregio is a dialogue with the soul through time. Here, you can immerse yourself in the atmosphere interwoven with the thickness of history and the tranquility of modernity, savor authentic Italian cuisine, and experience the unique Italian countryside charm. Let this carefully planned journey become an eternal treasure in your heart!

Civita di Bagnoregio

Sitting on a plateau of friable volcanic tuff, Civita di Bagnoregio is frequently named “The Dying Town” because of the incessant erosion, so there’s only a handful of citizens here. The view from Bagnoregio is as impressive as you might expect. Photos don’t make justice to this gem, and a visit should be on every serious traveler of Italy. Accessing to the beautiful historic centre is made possibile only by a foot bridge, every other road is just non-existent. Inside the hamlet ou can spot lots of details from its Etruscan past and the while place is very well preserved despite a recent revival in tourism that constantly brings crowds from all over the world, and sometimes this makes local residents a little nervous when their privacy is broken. Tip: Book a night in one of the several bed and breakfasts for a very romantic trip! #italy #italytravel #italybeauties #lazio #travel #civitadibagnoregio #awesomepic
