We'll be going to Orvieto by train from Rome as a day trip, and could really use some info: From the train station in Orvieto, how does one make their way to the center of town; approx how long does it take to get there? Do you use the funcular or take a taxi? -Thank you for your help-

Laua,<BR><BR>You literally walk across the street from the train station to the funicular. Once at the top you then get a bus to the town center.<BR><BR>Takes about 10 to 15 minutes depending upon timing.<BR><BR>Hope this helps!<BR><BR>US

How much does the funicular and bus cost? (approx.)

Hi! We didn't take either when we stayed in Orvieto. It's not that big that walking everywhere isn't a pleasure! But you will need to take the funicular up.

When I was there in 2000, the funicular was cheap - maybe around L1500 - which would be less than $1. We didn't take the bus at the top, as the walk to the centre is less than 15 minutes. I believe that the bus was the same price.<BR>

Here's a link to Orvieto transport on the Frommer's site, which tells you everything you need to know in great detail:<BR><BR>http://www.frommers.com/destinations...562020009.html
