By Plane
If you are flying to the conference, the most convenient arrival airports are located in Rome:

Reaching the Historic Center of Orvieto
The Orvieto Train Station is located at the foot of the hill in Orvieto Scalo. The conference venue and historic center are situated on top of the volcanic cliff. To easily get up there, you have three options: [1, 2, 3]
- The Funicular (Cable Car): Located right across the street from the train station exit. It runs every 10 minutes and takes just 5 minutes to reach Piazza Cahen at the top. [, 2, 3]
- City Minibuses: Once you arrive at Piazza Cahen via the funicular, local minibuses (Linea 1 or Linea A) are synchronized to take you directly to the Duomo or the main squares. [1, 2, 3]
- Taxi: A central taxi stand is located immediately outside the train station on the left side. [1, 2]
Tip: When purchasing your train ticket on the Trenitalia platform, you can select "Orvieto Centro" as your final destination. This automatically bundles the train ticket with the local connection up to the historic center. [1, 2]
