Orvieto is the single best day trip from Rome for people who want to see a small Italian city that has everything: a cathedral facade that makes your jaw drop, an underground city carved from volcanic rock, a deep Etruscan well with a double-helix staircase, and Orvieto Classico wine that pairs perfectly with everything. 1 hour by fast train from Roma Termini.
