Audio Guide of The Hadrian Labyrinth

The labyrinth is usually open every day from 9:00 AM to 7:30 PM, matching the hours of the famous pastry shop that houses it. Access is unique and unusual: you must enter through Adriano Pastry Shop on Via del Duomo.

General admission is very affordable, at around €5.00 per person, and includes a brief historical introduction. You can buy tickets directly at the pastry shop counter without needing a advance reservation for small groups.

It is an intense but short visit, ideal to fit in between major landmarks. We recommend setting aside 20 to 30 minutes to explore the underground galleries at a relaxed pace and appreciate the archaeological details without rushing.

More than a cave, it is a journey through time: you will discover a complex Etruscan hydraulic system and monumental cisterns. The most striking features are the fossilized remains and sculptures carved into the tuff, a unique testimony to the history of Orvieto.

Any time of year is good, but it is a perfect refuge during summer or on rainy days, as the underground temperature remains constant. We recommend going in the early afternoon, after lunch, to avoid the busiest hours on the main street.

Unfortunately, due to the underground setting and the ancient structure of the caves, access requires going down stairs and walking on uneven floors. It is not wheelchair accessible; comfortable footwear and caution are recommended.

You are in the heart of the city: the majestic Orvieto Cathedral is just a few steps away. We also recommend visiting the nearby Moro Tower for panoramic views that contrast beautifully with the underground world.

Do not forget to ask for the explanatory leaflet when you enter, and bring a light jacket, even in summer, because of the underground humidity. On your way out, take the opportunity to try the local pastries in the same shop; it is the perfect ending to the experience with IAudioguia.
