Ah Naples! Beautiful, chaotic and unparalleled, the city provokes strong reactions in visitors. The city’s world-class art collections include treasures from Pomepii and the royal art collections and the breathtaking statue of The Veiled Christ.

An absolute must for visitors to Naples is eating authentic Neapolitan pizza topped with creamy mozzarella di bufala. Next try a light, crispy fried pizza or a folded pizza al portafoglio, classic street food. Or learn the secrets of a local pizzaiolo at a hands-on cooking class.

Walk the streets of Pompeii or Herculaneum, hidden for centuries. Discover what was happening there almost 2000 years ago and how people reacted when Vesuvius erupted.

Take a trip up sleeping Vesuvius. Peer into the crater and look across the Bay of Naples.

Not far from Naples is the Royal Palace of Caserta. Take a trip to see the stunning Baroque building and gardens that were inspired by Versailles.

Stroll among the majestic Greek temples at Paestum, see the remains of the Roman Forum and admire painted tombs from local excavations.

Take a boat to visit the natural beauty of the Amalfi Coast. Choose a classic itinerary of beautiful Positano, the gardens of Ravello with their gorgeous views and the cathedral of Amalfi. Or explore lesser visited towns and go high up the cliffs to walk the Path of the Gods.

On the island of Capri, people-watching, hiking and swimming are favorite activities. At the other end of the bay, the quieter island of Ischia is famed for its thermal waters and wonderful spas.
