RomaPiu pass; using to orvieto
 
I am looking into getting a Roma pass and notice that they also have a Romapiu pass which seems to include more transportation. They say that they include regional trenitalia. We are planning a day trip to Orvieto and wonder if this would be considered a regional trip? Anyone have any info on that?

The Roma & Piu pass is good for the province of Rome in the region of Lazio. Orvieto is in the region of Umbria. So no, the Roma & Piu pass will not include the train to Orvieto.

Thanks for the quick reply.

It will get you close though. Your pass is good for Rome to Orte which is one stop from Orvieto on some trains and a couple of stops on other trains. You could probably train to Orte and then get a ticket on a cheap R train the rest of the way.

It's also good for Viterbo or Tivoli if you would want to daytrip to one of them. Here's the line map with the outer train lines listed on the right lower side of the page. You can click them for more detailed maps.

I repeat, the Roma & Piu pass includes travel *in the province of Rome.* Orte is in the province of Viterbo, as is Viterbo, obviously.

Cerveteri and Tivoli are in the province of Rome.

How much more is this pass over the regular Roma Pass? Thanks.

The difference is 5E and you can look at the pass at www.romapass.it or at http://www.pierreci.it/do/show/article/01195
