  • Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2006 | In Italy, we'll drive through the Tuscan and Umbrian countryside connecting all the hill-town dots, see a ceiling fresco masterpiece NOT by Michelangelo, eat rustic bruschetta, walk a vineyard that goes all the way back to Etruscan times - and more, all while exploring a string of hill-capping medieval towns that somehow manage to keep their heads above the flood of the 21st century. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #italy

    Orvieto is my favorite city/town to visit in Italy. The views from the city walls looking out over the valleys that surround it, Pozzo San Patrizio (Saint Patrick’s Well), the stunning Duomo, the underground city dug out of the tufa rock by the ancient Etruscans and Romans, the Papal Palace and the absolute best food found in Italy IMHO and the fact that you can easily take a train from Orvieto to Rome and other towns and cities in Umbria, Tuscany and beyond make it a marvelous place to visit.

    15:20 Steve grew up around pianos. The family owned a piano store named "Steves Sound of Music" where they imported and sold pianos, and also tuned pianos. This has got to be one of my favorite tours. If I ever made it to Europe this is the European adventure I'd be after.

    Lots of good memories here. The hill towns are indeed lovely - but strenuous when you tour them on a heavily loaded tandem bike as we did! The climb to Volterra nearly did us in!

    Yay👏🏼👏🏼so happy 😃 going to Tuscany in April 2023. Just booked the ticket ❤️🛫🇮🇹❤️I had to go to urgent care (cat bite- I was too slow giving out the treat. All better now 👍🏻) The doctor saw I had Rick Steves Italy book and started raving about his experience using his RS Paris guide. He used the guided walks and said the sights were right where RS said they would be. And the names of the restaurants and the people that work there. Am loving the Monday Night Travel 🧳 shows 🤩👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you 😊 Just what Monday night needs 🛫🧳❤️🙌🏼🤩🇮🇹

    Wonderful video!
    Just got back from Italy! My favorite spot is Cortona! I’ve been there many times and cannot get tired of it!
    Love seeing “Lago Trasimeno” from the square where the Garibaldi’s monument is located. This monument has a special felling for me: I’m from southern Brazil (living in 🇺🇸, my family come trim Italy to Brazil) where Giuseppe and Anita Garibaldi played an important role in the history of Brazil: the Farroupilha Revolution! Every southern Brazilian knows that shaped The southern states of Brasil and its culture.
    Another wonderful place to visit is Passignano Sul Trasimeno! Renting a place with lake view is another great experience. There’s a bakery called “Caffé Della Sosta”! The best pastries ever! Fresh and delicious! Getting there early morning is the best time of the day.

      I’m Italian from both sides of my family and was unfortunately born in the US. So I understand how you feel disconnected there. I felt that way too, until I moved to Europe five years ago. Now I live in Germany. Not crazy about it here, but I’m only a two hour plane ride from Italy, where I hope to be at some point in my life.
