We tend to climb every tower in the towns we visit so we had to climb this one. It's easiest enough to climb and narrow to navigate but definitely safe.
It's a long hot climb to the top but do this day 1 to get a good lay of the land to see the excellent views. We loved it!
take the elevator to the 2nd floor and climb the remaining 170 steps to treat yourselves to a magnificent view of Orvieto and its surroundings
I asked myself if I could make the climb, as my 9 year old granddaughter bounded ahead. But make it I did and wow! The view was worth every step. In each direction there was a new vista, taking in Orvieto and the surrounding landscape. Don't forget the camera. This is a photography dream.
此钟塔位于城区中心,高度不算很高,但城里几乎没有更高的建筑,所以从上面看到的风景还是很不错的。看到大教堂、人民宫、圣安德烈亚教堂等城里的主要建筑。本来城市在高岗上,那天天气也不错,还能看到城外的田地、丘陵,虽然在冬天,它们还是绿色,觉得很爽快。
OK, so how many 13th century towers give you THIS sort of view. Answer: not many. Best view of Orvieto, and clearly at "mountaintop" experience. Can't leave Orvieto without visiting, climbing up (a schlepp, but worth it) at least once.
a lot of stairs but at the top there is a great view! the ticket was not too expensive an it takes not too much time.
An excellent start to our visit to Orvieto. The tower gives a view of the whole town and the surrounding countryside. It allows one to build up an image of the whole town and how the various areas relate to one another.We cheated and used the lift but the subsequent stairs to the top were a reasonable climb.
It's quite a long way up, but it's worth every step. Once upstairs one will have a spectacular view on Orvieto and it's surroundings!
The clock tower Torre del Morro is in the middle of the city at the intersection of Via del Duomo, Via Della Consttuente and Corso Cavour. The climb to the top is less taxing than Siena's tower and affords 360' views of the Umbrian countryside and the intriqing streets of Orvieto.
