Bolsena was the Etruscan capital and not only has many ancient Etruscan remains, but is also surrounded by outstanding Roman and medieval architecture. A short drive north takes you into Umbria, the green heart of Italy, and through beautiful rolling countryside you arrive at Orvieto with its unique Duomo, perched on a volcanic outcrop. Close by there is also Civita di Bagnoregio the 'Dying City', so-called because of its extraordinary position on top of a crumbling outcrop which can only be reached by a pedestrian bridge which spans a deep gorge providing a view from the top which is unbelievable. Wherever you head near Bolsena you are always going to find authentic Italian cuisine and Bolsena itself has a vast array of restaurants providing dishes prepared with the very best local ingredients. Bolsena is the centre of the local area, and has a thriving market on Tuesday mornings where people flock from the surrounding areas.
