Scenic spot
The Roman Theater of Volterra, located north of the town walls and accessible via Porta San Francesco, is a well-preserved archaeological site dating back to the first century AD. With 19 tiers of seating carved into the natural slope and an orchestra pit faced in marble, it once accommodated between 1,800 and 2,000 spectators. The theater's position within a natural bowl enhanced its acoustics.
Clear view from high level town wall. Effort has been made to refurbish original Roman building.

Volterra is a captivating town rich in history, dating back to the Etruscan era. Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, it enchants with its authenticity, peaceful vibe, and breathtaking countryside views. Its stone streets, alabaster museum, ancient walls, and many historical sights create a unique charm. One of the town’s highlights is the Roman amphitheater, a remarkably well-preserved site from the 1st century BC. It can be viewed from a scenic lookout above the city – an unforgettable sight. Volterra is perfect for those seeking the true spirit of Tuscany without the tourist crowds.

History Museums
Nestled within the historic Bishop's Palace, the Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art is a hidden gem that invites visitors to explore its rich collection. Accessed through an enchanting portico adorned with 11th-century sandstone pillars, this museum showcases exquisite artworks from local churches and the cathedral itself. Among its treasures are stunning wooden and fictile sculptures, intricate holy vestments, and ecclesiastical furnishings.
(Translated by Google) A wonderful museum, which since 1992 has been placed in an equally splendid setting, the church of Sant'Agostino, of medieval construction but extensively remodeled in the 18th century in Renaissance style. It contains very interesting pictorial, sculptural and goldsmith works (mostly reliquaries and sacred goldsmithery), for example paintings by Rosso Fiorentino, Benvenuto di Giovanni, Domenico di Michelino, Daniele Ricciarelli, Stefano Vanni, reliquaries by Giambologna and Pollaiolo, and other sculptural works in alabaster by local artists. Truly a very welcome visit also for its scenic location as well as for the richness of the collection. I absolutely recommend. (Original) Un Museo meraviglioso, che dal 1992 è inserito in una cornice altrettanto splendida, la chiesa di Sant'Agostino, di costruzione medievale ma ampiamente rimaneggiata nel 700 in stile Rinascimentale. Contiene opere pittoriche, scultoree ed oreficerie (per lo più reliquiari ed oreficerie sacre) molto interessanti, ad esempio pitture di Rosso Fiorentino, Benvenuto di Giovanni, Domenico di Michelino, Daniele Ricciarelli, Stefano Vanni, reliquiari di Giambologna e Pollaiolo, ed altre opere scultoree in alabastro di mano di artisti locali. Davvero una visita molto gradita anche per la sua scenografica collocazione oltre che per la ricchezza della collezione. Consiglio assolutamente.

(Translated by Google) The Museo di Arte Sacra is small but full of pieces of exceptional beauty. The religious artworks on display here, including medieval paintings and sculptures, are a window into the devotion and artistic skill of the era. The visit is very well organized and full of curiosities. I recommend this place for those looking for a more intimate cultural and spiritual experience. (Original) El Museo di Arte Sacra és petit però ple de peces d’una bellesa excepcional. Les obres d’art religiós que s’exposen aquí, incloent pintures i escultures medievals, són una finestra a la devoció i l’habilitat artística de l’època. La visita és molt ben organitzada i plena de curiositats. Recomano aquest lloc per als qui busquen una experiència cultural i espiritual més íntima.

(Translated by Google) Perhaps one of the worst-regarded museums in the city, people come in and out at an impressive rate, spending more time at the torture museum next door... a real shame because this museum houses some of the most characteristic works in the liturgy of Volterra and the surrounding area, it is a museum that needs its time to give it the importance it has, and if you linger a little longer you can glimpse interesting gems. (Original) Forse uno dei musei peggio considerati in città, la gente ci entra e ci esce ad una velocità impressionante, spendono più tempo al museo delle torture lì accanto....un vero peccato perché questo museo tiene alcune delle opere più caratteristiche nella liturgia di Volterra e dintorni, è un museo che ha bisogno del suo tempo per dargli l'importanza che ha, e se ci si sofferma leggermente di più si possono intravedere chicche interessanti

(Translated by Google) Interesting museum of sacred works of art from the Volterra area: from bells to panel paintings, from goldsmithery to sacred vestments. Some works are displayed a little too high, but I find the general arrangement, which mostly occupies the central nave, well done. Reduced ticket for Volterra card holders and a sort of "treasure hunt" for the little ones. (Original) Interessante museo di opere d'arte sacra del volterrano: dalle campane ai dipinti su tavola, dalle oreficerie ai paramenti sacri. Alcune opere sono esposte un po' troppo in alto, ma la disposizione generale, che occupa per lo più la navata centrale, la trovo ben fatta. Biglietto ridotto per i possessori della Volterra card e in più una sorta di "caccia al tesoro" per i più piccoli.

(Translated by Google) a beautiful Museum accessible to everyone, inclusive, understandable even by the little ones but above all a place where families can find a space for sharing and learning through play. In addition to admiring important works such as those by Rosso Fiorentino or Daniele Ricciarelli (the "big braghetto" of the Sistine Chapel), a series of activities dedicated to children have been installed to make the visit captivating and interactive through play, research and interaction. There is the sensorial space and the tactile path; the creativity corner, where children have the opportunity to color the works present or play to put together the puzzle of the painting by Daniele Ricciarelli da Volterra. Furthermore there is the Treasure Hunt! A game path with a final prize. Children don't get bored in this Museum! (Original) un bellissimo Museo alla portata di tutti, inclusivo, comprensibile anche dai più piccoli ma sopratutto un luogo dove le famiglie possano trovare uno spazio di condivisione e di apprendimento attraverso il gioco. Oltre ad ammirare opere importanti come quelle del Rosso Fiorentino o Daniele Ricciarelli (il "braghettone" della Cappella Sistina) sono state installate una serie di attività dedicate ai bambini per rendere accattivante ed interattiva la visita attraverso il gioco, la ricerca e l'interazione.

(Translated by Google) The museum was opened to the public in 1932. It was closed several times over the years, the building was damaged during the war in 1944, and then reopened on June 4, 1956. It has been reconstructed several times since then. The museum presents ecclesiastical works of art. (Original) A múzeumot 1932-ben nyitották meg a közönség előtt. Az évek során többször bezárták, az épület 1944-ben háború alatt megsérült, majd 1956. június 4-én nyitotta meg újra kapuit. Azóta is többször rekonstruálták. A múzeum egyházi műalkotásokat mutat be.

The Etruscan Museum "Mario Guarnacci" has a rich history, dating back to 1761 when Mario Guarnacci donated his archaeological collection to the city of Volterra. This generous donation included a vast library and unique works from various centuries. The museum is home to the famous Ombra della Sera sculpture and also houses the Volterra Picture Gallery with masterpieces like Rosso Fiorentino's Deposition.
Since I knew next to nothing about this pre-Roman civilization and was intrigued, the museum was the main attraction I wanted to see in Volterra. However, we almost passed it by as it looked so unimposing on the outside and there didn't seem to be anywhere to park nearby. In fact, there is some parking just 50 yards down the road, with a scenic view. Inside, the museum is very modern and well organized. The displays are beautiful and have more interpretive material than we had seen in some other museums. I highly recommend visiting.

We went there on the Notte Bianca (7/19/2025) when all the museum in the city is free after 21:00. We were the one of the first into the museum when it opened at 21:00 and we’re the only ones on the second floor where the famous sculptures are. Really cool experience to be able to explore a museum at night with so little people and being able to see the artifacts up close without being rushed by other tourists. Really recommend going on a Notte Bianca.

For lovers of Etruscan history, and for those just learning about the importance of the Etruscans, this museum is superb. From funerary uns, to bronze sculptures, to amazing household artifacts, this museum has it all. We spent over 2 hours inside and loved every minute. Plus, a huge bonus for us were the several beautiful (but covered) mosaic floors! Such a great museum!
Dax P — Google review
Amazing museum. Amidst all the Roman ruins in Italy, the Etruscans often get overlooked. This museum has a ton of artifacts from the Etruscans -- older than the Roman empire and incredibly well preserved. The signage is mostly bilingual. Where it's only available in Italian, staff were willing to give us an explanation in English.
Ari E — Google review
We'd read the reviews and were conflicted. Is this another old museum? NO. This is THE presentation of Etruscan life. The museum has undergone an amazing upgrade thanks to the EU. Ok, there are a couple of rooms with exhibits that are dated. But the rest are great. Seems a major project has occurred in 2025. Information is presented in Italian and English. The new displays are classy. We knew nothing about Etruscan culture. Now we know a bit more. Worth a visit for sure
Robert A — Google review
An intriguing museum that was the surprise highlight of our visit to Volterra! Just visible on a distant hilltop, Volterra was pointed out to us by a local winery owner as a city we needed to visit because of its place in Tuscan history and its unique cultural artifacts - the burial urns of the Etruscans and its Roman theater. We didn't know much more than that, but we knew enough to trust when someone recommends something to us with nothing to gain for themselves, and we couldn't be happier we followed that instinct. This is one of those amazing museums that makes you want to continue to learn more even after you leave!
Daniel P — Google review
This Museum contains a beautiful collection of sarcophagi and other Etruscan tools. Very interesting, and definitely worth a visit. Having an elevator, it is accessible and comfortable, too. Still, the museum lacks modernity: there is no introduction to the Etruscans, and being unprepared it takes a while to understand what the exhibition is all about. Doesn‘t matter, maybe, when there are plenty of guards, as in this museum. You could simply ask, couldn‘t you? Unfortunately, the guards I talked to also couldn‘t explain the Etruscans, too. Thus, 3 stars. But hey, just a video intro and a little bit of tutoring and us visitors would all be set, wouldn‘t we?
Jan B — Google review
This museum is a must see if you’re in Volterra, as it shines a bright light on the Etruscan (pre-Roman) civilisation. The collection is somewhat uneven - there are some sections which look as if they’re still awaiting reorganisation and improved explanatory notices, and there are more funerary urns than most people need, but the most important sections are well laid out and explained, and include some fascinating and beautiful items, such as the very extended figure of a young man, and even some of the funerary urns! Highly recommended.

Nice collection and location but I’m shocked by the fact that this place is cash ONLY and they also accept donations… the audacity!

Tuscan restaurant
Ristorante Enoteca Del Duca is a hidden gem nestled in a 12th-century building with a charming courtyard garden. The seasonal menu offers a blend of innovative and traditional Italian dishes, curated by the Del Duca family. The restaurant's focus on Tuscan cuisine is complemented by an extensive selection of wines from their own vineyards.
Lovely evening spent with family in Volterra. The restaurant was quiet but welcoming, the food was good, but the whole experience was great because of our host Adrian who was so attentive and knowledgeable. We hope to be back soon.

We were there with a larger group of friends for a birthday dinner. We were greeted with the most friendly staff and a chef who knows his craft. He advised us well on the food, educated us and created an atmosphere that was just special. Prices are more than fair. It feels like we came as guests and left as friends. Chef Fabio made sure we had an evening we will never forget. It was a very intimate and personal experience. From the food to the conversations. The restaurant is very well located, so a little stroll before going there is great. And the hidden away courtyard seating is definitely a highlight. I can only recommend going there if you are on the area!

We visited this wonderful Italian restaurant twice during our vacation — and both times were exceptional! We tried several dishes from the menu, but a few truly stood out and deserve special mention. The beef tartare was incredibly fresh, with some unexpected and creative additions that made it really unique. The veal steak was tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection — one of the best we've ever had. We also couldn’t resist the desserts, which were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The service was outstanding on both visits. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Highly recommended if you're looking for a memorable dining experience with top-quality food and warm hospitality. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the area!

Amazing food and ambience. The outside seating and service was spectacular. I had wild boar pappardelle for first course and it was the best pasta dish I’ve had since coming to Italy! Main course was boneless rabbit - incredible. They even had an Italian singer who set the mood and played both Italian and old school rock/pop music which made for an even better pairing with the wine and food! We all had a blast and cannot wait to come back one day.

We stumbled upon this place while waiting for a walking tour to start. The owner/chef came outside to chat with us in Italian then realized we don’t speak it 😅 he made some self deprecating jokes and his charm had us hooked. It was not quite 12 yet but he said we could come in. Since we just had a moment we got one dish each and an aperol spritz (I know I know it’s cliché, but I swear it was delicious!) the food was delicious, (burrata with fresh truffle and wild boar ragu over pappardelle) the savory puffs he brought out were tasty as well. It felt like a very special experience to have the chef himself take care of us after just happening to come in at that time, and I feel like his level of commitment and love of his craft are definitely what inspire the Michelin stars! I love eating at a restaurant where you can tell the people there love what they do. As we left we waved goodbye to the woman chef who I recognized from their brochure. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality, Del Duca!

Osteria dei Poeti in Volterra offers a rustic yet elegant ambiance that captures the essence of Tuscany, featuring exposed stone walls and arched ceilings. Known for its extensive wine selection and contemporary takes on traditional Tuscan dishes, this restaurant prides itself on dishes like bruschetta, T-bone steak, and homemade tiramisu.
Coffee and aperitivi We dropped into the bar in front of the Osteria for a post lunch coffee with panforte and pan pepato. The staff behind the counter were lovely - the coffees were terrific and we really enjoyed the panforte and pan pepato, so we came back for pre-dinner drinks (aperitivi). We really enjoyed the aperitivi and the staff were really nice about explaining how to make the drinks. This is a really great spot for coffee and aperitivi!

We had a memorable three-course lunch for two with a very nice bottle of Vermentino, for a total of 80 Euros. Service maybe could be a little more prompt, but the wait was worth it.

Volterra Museum of Torture is one of the notable attractions in downtown Volterra, Tuscany. It's a place for those with a strong stomach and an interest in the horror genre. The museum showcases tools used for torture in past centuries, offering visitors a glimpse into the grim history of human cruelty. Despite its chilling subject matter, it's an intriguing stop for those fascinated by macabre artifacts and historical paraphernalia.
I visited the Volterra Museum of Torture during my trip to Tuscany in October 2025 and it was quite an experience. The museum, located right in the center of Volterra, showcases original and reconstructed torture instruments from different centuries, mainly between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Beyond the shock factor, it’s actually quite educational — it gives a strong reminder of how cruelty was institutionalized in the past, often justified by religion or politics. Entrance costs €10 for adults and €8 for reduced tickets. The exhibition isn’t huge, but it’s well-curated and packed with interesting (and disturbing) artifacts. A few practical notes: • Small dogs (up to 8 kg) are allowed inside; larger ones aren’t. • The place is clean and well-organized, though some parts can feel a bit cramped. • Definitely not suitable for kids or anyone sensitive to graphic content. Overall, I found it fascinating — a dark but meaningful visit. Just be ready for some intense visuals and stories.

Gotta know the past to realize a better future, just visit it to have an idea about discrimination was 100/200 years ago. Something obout those obscenities are still present on our World and everybody should reflect on this. Talking bout The museum itself is well manteined and not too big. Is silent and is placed in one of the most Volterra's beautiful plazas. I suggest it also to young tourists that wants to know more about Europe history.

Le Cantine del Palazzo is a unique dining experience located in the ancient cellars beneath Palazzo Incontri-Viti. The restaurant offers a cavern-like atmosphere with Roman cisterns and an Etruscan well, providing a fascinating setting for enjoying typical Tuscan specialties at reasonable prices. Guests can also dine outdoors and enjoy a stunning view over the valley while savoring delicious dishes such as bruschetta, homemade pasta, hare, and wild boar.
Excellent fresh pasta. Mine, sage-filled ravioli with a butter sauce and my husband's, a type of long pasta with Tuscan ragu sauce. The chocolate dessert was heavenly, very light and not over-sweetened. Ditto for the orange and cointreau confection. Very kind, patient owner who paired a lovely wine with the meal. Highly recommend this restaurant.

We were here for several meals while staying at the Hotel San Lino. Since the hotel restaurant was not open and our reservations included dinner, we had to eat at Le Cantine del Palazzo. We were not impressed. As a San Lino guest, you have a different, very limited, menu. (A photo of the menu was not accepted by google for the review—not sure why). When we asked if water or wine was included in the fixed menu, the host, who spoke fluent english, told us 'whatever you want'. At the end of the meal we discovered it is not included. Overall we were not impressed by the quality or choice of the food options. The next time we were at the restaurant, we asked if we could just have a credit toward the regular menu. That was ok, but they charged more than the difference in price of what was on the limited menu and the price of the choices on the regular menu. On that night we had a very good pizza and excellent desserts. Overall, better NOT to get half board at Hotel San Lino and take your money to a different restaurant for dinner.

The care of food is terrific here. Best cannellini beans I’ve ever had, and upon conversation with the cook, it’s due to how they prepare their olive oil over several hours. This gets the garlic flavor into the oil without toasting the garlic. Very rich flavor added to perfectly cooked beans.

We found this restaurant just walking around and we liked the menu, but we didn’t enjoy the food. The truffle pasta was tiny and not tasty, bread and oil wasn’t tasty either... we left a but disappointed as it was quite pricy. The staff and restaurant were nice though. Maybe we didn’t choose the right option. Ah, Menu si not in english so it’s a bit difficult to guess what is everything.

We sat at a table with the most beautiful view. The bruschetta was the most delicious we have ever tasted, tomatoes, garlic, black pepper, balsamic but incredible olive oil. The home made pasta was melt in your mouth amazing. We chose hare and wild bore. The house wine was just perfect and extremely reasonably priced. I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough for anyone who is looking for an authentic Italian meal in a stunning setting. ( only 2 tables have this view)

Necropoli del Portone, located south of Volterra, is an Etruscan burial site with a rich history. Explored in the 18th century by Abbe Mario Guarnacci, the site revealed a wealth of artifacts and intricately carved sarcophagi. The collection was later donated to the city. Visitors can easily access the necropolis from the cemetery parking lot and explore two tombs with automatic lighting for convenience.
Great place to visit. Good example of Etruscan graves. Don't forget there are 2 graves you can visit. One to the left an one straight on.

So cool to be able to walk into Etruscan tombs over 2000 (+??) years old. Saw a cute little bay in one of them. Also can see a bunch of necropoli along the road walking there from the center storico. Not cost.

(Translated by Google) We walked the short distance from the cemetery parking lot to visit the two necropolises. A flashlight is not absolutely necessary as motion detectors turn on the light in the small rooms. The necropolises are worth seeing for those interested. After all, these were created by human hands. (Original) Vom Parkplatz des Friedhofes sind wir das kurze Stück gelaufen um die zwei Nekropole zu besichtigen.

(Translated by Google) There's no parking; you have to park on the street; it's very narrow. There's not much to see, just two paths leading to the Necropolis of Portone.

(Translated by Google) The site is accessible by car, but parking is difficult to find. It's neglected and neglected. The lighting has stopped working, so it's completely dark. I'd recommend revisiting the lighting and putting up some information panels inside the tombs. In one tomb, there's a bat on the ceiling, so be very careful. I recommend bringing a bright flashlight! It's a gloomy experience, as you enter the cave in complete darkness. Be careful where you put your feet. I recommend wearing closed-toe shoes and ankle protection. (Original) Luogo raggiungibile con la macchina ma difficile trovare dove parcheggiare, non valorizzato e trascurato, l'illuminazione ha smesso di funzionare quindi è completamente buio, consiglierei di riguardare l'illuminazione e mettere qualche pannello informativo all'interno delle tombe, in una c'è un pipistrello al soffitto quindi fare molta attenzione, consiglio di portare una torcia bella luminosa! È un esperienza "tetra" da fare per il fatto di entrare sotto terra completamente al buio, attenti dove mettete i piedi, consiglio scarpe chiuse e caviglie protette.

Endelg — Google review
(Translated by Google) Easily accessible by car, but there are no parking spaces. At most, you could park on the side of the road. Since there are "only" two small graves and two signposts, you can basically finish the tour in 5-10 minutes. Unfortunately, the lighting didn't work for me either, so bring a flashlight or at least a cell phone with a light. A few bats live in one of the chambers, so be careful not to scare them and disturb them. All in all, it's rather unloving and not really worth it, but it's free. (Original) Mit dem Auto gut zu erreichen, allerdings keine Parkplätze. Höchstens am Straßenrand könnte man sich hinstellen. Da es sich um "nur" 2 kleine Gräber und 2 Tafeln als Beschilderung handelt, ist man in 5-10 Minuten eigentlich mit der Besichtigung durch. Auch bei mir ging die Beleuchtung leider nicht, also Taschenlampe mitbringen oder mindestens ein Handy mit Licht. In eine der Kammern leben ein paar Fledermäuse, also erschreckt euch und stört sie nicht. Alles in Allem recht lieblos und nicht wirklich lohnenswert, dafür aber kostenlos.

We went there for two dinners. The first dinner was great and the food was amazing on both occasion, no notes whatsoever. However, on the second night a baby threw up on me and, besides the complete lack of accountability from the parents, the response from the staff was disappointing at best. We had to insist that our table was changed and the only acknowledgement of this incident (which frankly ruined our dinner as we could not eat anymore) was ‘aw, it’s a baby’. This is likely (I hope) not that common of a problem, but it was extremely poorly managed.

Better than expected. Lights working. Not smelly or wet. Appreciate might be different in wet weather. Bit of a walk but not terrible.

A really tiny museum, which you can completely miss without knowing about its existence, and it is all a shrine to the train that once operated in Volterra.
