Orvieto's top sights are split between open-air spaces any leashed dog can enjoy and specific monuments with their own pet rules. The Duomo's facade and piazza are freely accessible, the underground cave tour is a rare monument that welcomes leashed dogs inside, and the famous St. Patrick's Well has a narrow size exception worth knowing before you go.
