Civita di Bagnoregio — old town

Type: historic town / viewpoint

An Etruscan-medieval town perched on an isolated tufa ridge, known as 'the dying city' due to soil erosion. It is accessible only via a pedestrian bridge approximately 300 meters long. Founded over 2,500 years ago, it today has only a handful of permanent residents and stands as one of the most extraordinary historic destinations in Italy.

Tickets

Entry: Tickets from ~5.00 EUR
Indicative price — confirm the exact amount before booking.
Tickets can also be purchased on-site.

Entrance to the bridge is paid at the ticket office in Bagnoregio. The price for adults is around 5 EUR. It is recommended to arrive early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid crowds and get better photographs.

🏛️ Heads up: Old core — displayed distance is linear (as the crow flies); narrow streets and stairs mean actual walking is 1.3–1.5× longer than the number shown.
