Necropolis de la Banditaccia

Like most cities, as Etruscan culture changed over the centuries, so too did their burial structures.

About

A testament to the Etruscan’s urban planning skills, even their graveyards were expertly mapped. This sprawling complex began 3000 years ago when Etruscan society was just beginning to blossom. These early tombs were just small pits where the ashes of the dead were kept. Over the next 600 years, the city expanded, and the tombs became more sophisticated. They transitioned to build burial mounds, often carved out of stone, and even added streets in the 6th century BC. The most important members of society were interred in rows of square tombs along the necropolis’ two main streets. The entire area has been dedicated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since some of the structures represent types of buildings which no longer exist anywhere else. Some tombs are modelled after Etruscan houses, and their frescoed depictions of daily life is a unique testimony to this vanished culture.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.

All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.

For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.

Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time. Browse and add sightseeing stops along the way by following the booking instructions provided on screen. It's a simple, easy, and fun way to book your next adventure!
