From Canterbury in England to Rome in Italy, the 1900km “Francigena Way” dates back to the 11th century when pilgrims travelled across Europe on foot to visit the site of Martyrdom of St Peter and St Paul in Rome. View tours here:
With the modernisation of Europe and the shifting of borders, the route became obsolete, until a recent revival of the pilgrimage making it one of the most exciting pilgrimage trails in Europe today.
The Orvieto to Rome trip takes in the last section of the trail through to Rome, passing by ancient relics and hilltop towns.
The first walk from Orvieto takes you down to the charming lake town of Bolsena, then passes through medieval town Montefiascone, known for its great wine, and then continues through woods and by abbeys as you approach the Eternal City of Rome.
En route stay in atmospheric farm houses and small family run hotels, soaking up the fine hospitality that has characterised the route for centuries.
