Naples is one of Italy's most authentic cities — vibrant, electric, and steeped in history that you can feel at every turn. Nestled at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, it is celebrated as the birthplace of true Italian pizza, and serves as the perfect gateway to Pompeii, Capri, and the Amalfi Coast. A heady blend of raw energy, Mediterranean spirit, and extraordinary gastronomy makes Naples one of the most singular cities in all of Southern Europe.
The historic center of Naples — the largest historic urban core in Europe, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Features Spaccanapoli (the street that cuts the center in half), the Basilica of Santa Chiara, and smaller squares with pizzerias on every corner.
An ancient Roman city buried under the ash of Vesuvius in 79 AD — uniquely preserved. You can see city streets, houses, frescoes, and even frozen bodies. Train from Naples — approximately 35 minutes.
Fortress on a small island in the Bay of Naples — the oldest in the city (12th century). Free entry, stunning views of the bay, Vesuvius and Sorrento. Ideal at sunset.
