Italy Naples is the home of everything good: pizza, gelato, musicians who play the mandolin, stunning historical sites against the backdrop of Mt. Vesuvius, and so much more. However, the city is not nearly as popular as other Italian cities like Rome, Milan, Venice, or Florence, which is surprising. And it's a pity because this amazing city has art, history, and possibly the best food scene in Italy on every street.
1. Pompeii, one of the most popular cities in ancient Rome, was destroyed when Mt. Vesuvius erupted violently in 79 AD. The city was completely destroyed by a single volcanic eruption, instantly burying its 11,000 inhabitants. It wasn't until 1599 that it was found again, and archaeologists didn't start digging until almost 150 years later.naples to pompeii tour
Over 2.5 million people visit Pompeii's ruins each year, making them one of Italy's most popular tourist destinations and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visiting this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a must-do activity in Italy.
2. Mt. Vesuvius It would be a shame to visit Naples without seeing the eerie Mt. Vesuvius, which dominates the city. It stands out due to its distinctive flat top, which dominates the city's skyline. It's scary to think about climbing a real volcano, but it's totally worth it. To put it mildly, the views from the peak are breathtaking. You can hike up on your own or join a tour with other people.
3. Pizza Pizza is a must-have when visiting Naples. After all, this is where pizza originated. The city is filled with the delicious aroma of freshly baked pizza. And believe me when I say that it is the best pizza you will ever eat!
One of the most well-known pizza places in the city is L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele, which was even featured in Julia Roberts' Eat, Pray, Love! In the heart of the city, on Via Cesare Sersale, they offer tomato and mozzarella or tomato and anchovy pizzas, both of which are excellent!
4. The Veiled Christ In the San Severo Chapel in the center of Naples, the Veiled Christ should be your one and only heritage site. Giuseppe Sanmartino carved this incredible statue of Christ after his death out of just one piece of marble in 1753. The marble in the statue appears to be gossamer-thin, much like the shroud that encases Christ because of how beautifully realistic it is.
5. Capri Capri is one of the most beautiful islands in Italy. Its serene beauty has been depicted in literature, music, and paintings.
High-speed boats take between 50 and 60 minutes to reach the island and cost around €20. If you have time, take the slower boats to take in the beauty of the Mediterranean. It costs between €12 and €15 and takes about 80 minutes. Take the chairlift up to Mount Solaro and visit the island's renowned Blue Grotto if you go during the summer.
