Hard To Get To ! Overlooked By Tourists To Italy...
In a nutshell
Visit Civita before it is too late!
effeti Says: You can easily walk all the narrow streets of civita. Go straight eastward fron the village entrance, pass the church of the square, and walk this street, to... On your right, terraces facing the valley with wonderful ladscapes...Go to the end, and you will find a narrow...
There are nice standing houses, too!
effeti Says: Of course, not every building is ffalling down. Some are just nice ancient bulding, and meny were restored in a very nice way not so long ago.Every house has, however, a nice "medieval" and cozy taste....
effeti Says: Well, despite the picture here, not everything is falling here. The village is not totally diying...Hey, would you imagine that not more than 100 meters from the "house of the olive tree" i took in the attached picture, there are a building where the Univesity of Washington...
Look at the remains of the ancient buildings
effeti Says: the first square you meet, on your right, has a bar, but also this building. Half of it seems in actual use, the other is gone with the rock itself.The result of these contrasts is really amazing.....
effeti Says: Finally, you did! You are at the village door and the climbing is over.... Take your breath for a while, and take the first glance of the village center from the ancient gate.Take a look at the amazing landscape you see from there, too.
The house went down the valley
effeti Says: Before entering the village, you can easily understand what happened to most of the houses, and to the whole hill that once connected the actual Civita to Bagnoregio itself..... The crumbly rock went down piece by piece, and many building with itThis is only an example
effeti Says: The only way you have to reach the hilltop and the village is... to walk.there is only a narrow absolutely-no-cars bridge that crosses the valley and bring you there.While the first part is easy, the last one is steep and harder.... but not long.So, climb the road and reach...
coceng Says: Another 'preserved' steps, going into somebody's house !Knock on the door & you might have a chat with somebody...if she or he would want to have a chat anyway....If not, then wandering around some more !
coceng Says: In Civita de Bagnoregio, there are a phone booth, a bar, a restaurant, a toilet...even a laundry !Where are all these things ? Do we take photos of these things when we travel ? Not me per se !Well, then you guys have to come here & see what this place could offer each &...
coceng Says: Well, as you are longer wandering around in this place, you would want to buy a place here right ?...Maybe a house ?Well, no you can't !Unless you are very very rich...all the houses are privately owned !
coceng Says: Another sight along St. Mary Street...Notice the buildings or rather houses by the sides...& the steert itself which looks 'new'.This makes up Civita de Bagnoregio that we could see today !
coceng Says: My work of trying to capture a bunch of flowers in Bagnoregio turns out to be blurry....Well, nothing perfect when you are living this life but I'm showing my 'amateur' photography skills anyway...
trattoria "Antico Forno": A living restaurant in a beautiful dying city
lforrro Says: "Antico Forno" is a small restaurant and B&B in the Civita Bagnoregio. Franco, the owner is also the cook and he's taking care of every single client in a very warm a friendly way, making you feel at home immediately. The city is very silent and relaxing giving the...
effeti Says: There's no other way in but this narrow bridge,actually only a walkway.There is a car park at the beginning (around 50 places... i won't bet in a place in high season: you can also walk from the center of Bagnoregio (not long, but up and down) or park along the way, if you...
coceng Says: You don't exactly reach the 'pedestrian bridge' when you are in Bagnoregio.You would want to go to Civita de Bagnoregio which is about 20 minutes walking from Bagnoregio village to the base of the pedestrian bridge.Of course if you have a car, once you arrive in Bagnoregio,...
coceng Says: How to reach here ?Well, depends on where you want to start ?The best way is of course if you have a car, your own transport then it would be much much easier for you guys to reach this great place !If like me, you want to be adventurous...then, follow these routes. Ready...
coceng Says: Okay, accomodation-wise, you could stay at some nice hotels but there's no cheap hotels around Bagnoregio.Based yourself in Bagnoregio town & walk to Civita de Bagnoregio...Sure, you could sleep at the bus stop, I don't think people would give you any problem. Maybe if you...
coceng Says: It's not easy to get here unless you have your own transport. Nevertheless, it is possible to reach here if you are a lone traveller like me.The buses from Viterbo & Orvieto commune between them, passing through Bagnoregio. Maybe you have to change a bus or 2 but hey, I said...
coceng Says: Another photo of me standing by the stairs as if it's my house, going up to the house ! I wish !The great thing was also nobody's around !This place is really a getaway from any 'civilization' ! If you know what I mean...
coceng Says: This lady charged whoever wants to take photos of her garden. Well, for just 1 or 2 Euros, it's okay I guess.After all, there are only a handful of her & her friends, men & women similar ages; stays on top of Civita de Bagnoregio. Help them if you must or avoid them if you...
