Ischia is a stunning volcanic island located near Naples with breathtaking coastal views and a medieval castle. The island boasts of hot springs, beautiful beaches and great restaurants making it an ideal getaway destination for tourists. Visitors can hire English-speaking taxi drivers to explore the villages and enjoy panoramic views from high up locations. While six hours may not be enough to see everything, tourists can still make the most of their trip by stopping at various places for 10-20 minutes.
I spent a day in Ischia and I wish I could stay longer. When I went, I took a speed boat for about hour and regular furry took me at least 2 hours to come back to Naples. The Island is so unique and gorgeous, tons of wonderful places to go but I only had one day. I paid a cap to take me around the island. It was good to have a local as a guide and know what place to go. Beaches is extremely beautiful. The view from the top of the mountain is even better. Houses, buildings, street and all nature are stunning, looks like I'm in heaven. Suggesting: enjoy the island more then a day if you have time.

Stay away from that HORRIBLE island!
Food is overpriced, shops sell ugly stuff, traffic is horrible, people are unfriendly and arrogant - you don't get the feeling of being welcome on Ischia. You will inhale a lot of exhausts from crazy old, damaged cars and scooters during your stay. Even worse, the locals burn their trash and plastic, so you can imagine the polluted air there is. But don't worry, you'll still find plastic and trash at the beaches. Buildings and restaurants look shabby and facilities are not well maintained. A complete waste of time and money. Do yourself a favour and don't bother going there.

I would highly recommend you to visit this place if you go to Naples. View is amazing . Upon arriving on the port you can approach to taxi drivers and please do bargain. I hired one instant for 80 euros and asked him that he has to be with us 6 hours and show all the island , he was one of the English speaking guy so that's a plus point too. 6 hours is not enough to see all those villages but at least I went everywhere and stopped here and there for 10-20 minutes . If you go to high up then view is really amazing.

Forget overpriced and heavily touristy Capri. Just a stone’s throw away is this hidden gem that the locals go to get away. No price shock here. The best part is a little peninsula on the south called Sant’ Angelo. This is by far the best spot on the island. No cars allowed. Everything moves by these little electric golf carts. The silence is golden. Most of the hotels are up on the cliff, with fantastic views. The main shopping area is full of amazing little shops and artisan boutiques. The only downside is that almost all the restaurants fall into the tourist trap category. Overpriced and plagued with bad service. There are a few decent establishments but, they are hidden off the main stretch or much further away.

Great island overall! Fair warning, it's helpful to come here with some Italian and open to their culture. This is not as touristic like Positano, Capri, or Sorrento. Went to the port side (near the castle), Forio, and Sant'Angelo. It was very nice even though it was a bit hotter than normal for end of June / early July. Knowing "Italian for travelers" really helps as not as many folks speak English here. They have great food, coffee, gelato, sandy beaches and more!

I had a day left of my vacation and I didn't know what to do so I went to this beautiful island of Ischia. It was breathtaking and so peaceful to walk around. As soon as you left the port you didn't feel the tourism. The beaches were beautiful and I had a great day there. Would love to come back and stay there for a few days.

Wonderful place to visit in a day. We went around from Capri to Anacapri on scooter, price was for everything fully insured. this is the best way to get around the island.
Like any island it can be pricy just a note before you go.
Water is crystal clear and warm you can take a boat out from the Amalfi coast and i think the gentle boat ride over was worth it as an experience on its own. I do love live commentary about the history of it which is given while you're on the boat.

Picturesque yet very expensive.
Capri is one of the most beautiful places that we have visited on our holiday so far. As we arrived by ferry from Sorrento the view from the sea was so impressive and we really got to see the topography of the island, the lush green slopes, the craggy rocks overlooking the sea, the houses wedged in to every last available space; all very impressive.
If you're staying in Sorrento or Napoli it really is worth visiting but do remember that it isn't cheap. The funicular (€2.20 per person/pet) is by far the easiest way to get to the hilltop town of Capri from the main port. It doesn't take long and it is certainly alot easier than the steep climb. We took the funicular up and walked down. The staff in the funicular aren't particularly helpful & 'yap' at the tourists in order to keep the queues moving, face masks at half mast.
We had a pleasant enough meal in Capri, a restaurant with a really good view of the port below. The restaurant charged a cover charge of €4 per person which I'm sure is standard on Capri, where it really does feel like they want to extract every last single euro out of the tourists, a sentiment echoed by other diners whom we spoke to.
I suppose when some restaurants & hotels are displaying photographs of celebrities like Sylvester Stallone, Rod Stewart you kind of know and understand that the prices are going to be as steep as the pathway from the port to the town.
The narrow streets meander around the town, giving refreshing shade from the hot sun and make it a very pleasant experience to explore. The small shops and boutiques offering anything from bangles and jewellery to high end clothing & leather products. The one thing that we noted was that there weren't many seats or benches and if you sat in a public area on steps then you were quickly moved on by the Municipal Police, of which there are a few. When challenged you're told 'it's the city rules' and one officer pointed to the town hall in the square.
Now having just retired from the police in England I can't remember telling tourists to move on, I always wanted visitors to where I worked (including the beautiful Cotswolds in Gloucestershire) to see my county for what it was and to portray it in the best possible light. I had other & more important things to do than blowing a whistle or barking orders at someone enjoying their deserved & undoubtedly hard earned holiday, so it really annoys me and feels like the 'authorities are taking the *iss' when they haven't provided enough seating and then get the local police to order you to 'stand up' 'no sit there'...when in reality the whole reason they're there in the first place is because of tourists, spending their pounds, their hard earnt buck or dollar.
A few more drinking water fountains in the town of Capri wouldn't go a miss.
A beautiful place that could do better on the tourist service front.
Tim Griffiths — Google review
Like many other beautiful locations, Capri also has its beauties to visit but it's ridiculous what's happening in terms of prices.
I agree that Capri is a turistic area, an island, it is not the first time when I visit an island but the way traders want to do business it is very brutal.
Capri, it's not the Hawaiian islands located about 2500 miles off the US coast where you can understand why it's expensive...
Yes, I recommend visiting the island, but don't expect to find anything phenomenal.

Visited end of Feb from Naples...almost nothing open apart from 2 cafes/restaurants. Chairlift not operating - no info about the closure online. The people there are mostly rude & and overcharge - everything is massively overpriced. Espresso, sprite & a small cookie was €10. No free public toilets. Yes it's pretty, but not comparable to Positano & definitely not worth it if the chairlift is closed. I couldn't wait to get back - ended up paying twice as all ferry operators compete with each other & there's no clear info on next ferry back. A pointless day out. I don't suffer from seasickness, but found the ferry over pretty rough.

We had a great time in Capri. I would highly recommend a private tour if your only there for the day. A private tour will get you past the lines and through all of the experiences quickly including the chairlift and private boat ride through the caves and some swimming.

It’s a really beautiful island 50min away from Napoli by boat for only €50. Nice beach with clear water and stunning views that makes good photography.
I will say though all the shops and restaurants are overpriced and the island has too much tourists that takes away the Italian charm. Too many steps uphill to get a good view hence the abundance of taxis and buses across the island.
It’s definitely worth the look but not too much to do unfortunately.

Beautiful and imposing Cathedral with nice acoustics (we even sang there) and large organ at the back of the church. Peaceful place to visit!

Italy is full of wonderful old towns. We've seen many and always like to find some new Centro Storicos or Borgo Anticos.
Compared to many other towns, Termoli has a quite small old center. The location is quite beautiful though. Sitting on top of a hill, overlooking the ocean. You can walk all around the historic center, all with sea and port views. Inside the old center there is honestly not that much to see and do. Not just because of Corona. There are just not that many shops or restaurants. Only a handful. It was nice to walk around the small area anyways. But compared to other Historic Center it's quite a quick walk.
Still, landmarks like the Castello Svevo with the Belvedere della Torretta, the Cathedral of Saint Mary 'della Purificazione and the Piazza Duomo makes the visit worth a drive.
Don't miss out on the new part of town. The Corso Nazionale is a nice walking and shopping street. Surely worth a visit.

The Palazzo d'Avalos in Vasto is a Renaissance palace that showcases four museums under one roof. The Museo Archeologico displays an assorted collection of ancient artifacts, while the Pinacoteca Comunale features paintings by 19th-century artists such as the Palizzi brothers.
Marvelous palace in the best of Vasto. Being able to visit it for 3,5 euro would already be a treat. Instead it also houses a magnificent pastiche of many collections: archeology, costumes, modern art, paintings by the brothers Palizzi, and a restored Neapolitan garden.

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful and ancient Romanesque cathedrals in Italy. In addition to the beautiful portal you can admire the rose window which has a unique feature given by the number of rays, thirteen, which is difficult to achieve. The style of the facade is sober and austere. At the base of the bell tower there is an arch through which you access a small square closed by small and unadorned houses characteristic of the small agricultural centre.

(Translated by Google) It was my first flight and thanks to Gianni's friendliness and professionalism it was magnificent. The place is beautiful with a panoramic valley with the sea in the background. Too bad only for the absence of wind which made the flight short, but still unforgettable.

Era il mio battesimo del volo e grazie alla cordialità e professionalità di Gianni è stato magnifico. Il posto è bellissimo con una vallata panoramica con il mare nello sfondo. Peccato solamente per l'assenza del vento che ha reso il volo breve, ma comunque indimenticabile.

Small, but interesting museum to discover local history of Molise region. The museum employee was kind enough to gift me the book of cultural sites of the region and gave me a lot of interesting booklets that helped me to orient in the city. Recommend to everyone who’s got a chance to visit Molise

The Arch of Trajan, constructed around 114 A.D., is a significant Roman gateway adorned with intricate stone carvings. It was built in honor of Emperor Trajan and serves as a reminder of the glorious Roman past. The arch is well-preserved and provides an excellent opportunity to capture stunning photographs. The surrounding area boasts numerous coffee shops that add to the charm of the quaint town of Benevento.
Very well preserved Roman era Arch, great historical center with many shops and restaurants to sit down and have a drink or bite to eat. Benevento is a must to visit!

(Translated by Google) First time in this structure taking advantage of the afternoon entrance. Convenient parking, smooth queue at the entrance thanks to the courteous and efficient staff. After 2.00pm full admission costs €10. Each customer has their own card to access through the turnstiles. One is of a different color and on the latter it is possible to top up the credit to consume in the refreshment points. There are also lockers in the changing rooms to store unnecessary things in the pool and you can get the padlock at reception leaving a deposit of €5 which will be refunded upon exit. Changing rooms, bathrooms and lockers are clean. The swimming pools, sunbeds and common areas are tidy, clean and well maintained. The bars are stocked with sandwiches, drinks and ice creams with higher but average prices. Hot and cold showers according to taste.
I didn't give five stars because the sinks in the men's bathrooms did not have soap in the dispensers and in relation to the rates I verified the absence of concessions for the disabled or for care givers which I instead found in other similar structures.
For the rest it is a structure that I recommend to all children and families.
(Original)
Prima volta in questa struttura usufruendo dall'ingresso pomeridiano. Parcheggio comodo, fila scorrevole all'ingresso grazie al personale cortese ed efficiente. Dopo le 14.00 l'ingresso intero costa € 10. Ogni avventore ha la sua card per accedere attraverso dei tornelli. Una è di colore diverso e su quest'ultima è possibile ricaricare il credito per consumare nei punti ristoro. Ci sono anche gli armadietti negli spogliatoi per riporre le cose non necessarie in piscina e il lucchetto è possibile prenderlo alla reception lasciando una cauzione di € 5 che verrà rimborsata all'uscita. Spogliatoi, bagni e armadietti sono puliti. Le piscine, i lettini e le aree comune sono ordinate, pulite e ben manutenute. I bar sono forniti di panini, bibite e gelati con prezzi maggiorati ma nella media. Docce calde e fredde a seconda dei gusti.
Non ho dato le cinque stelle perché i lavandini dei bagni dei maschi erano sprovvisti di sapone nei dispenser e relativamente alle tariffe ho verificato l'assenza di agevolazioni per i disabili o per i care giver che ho invece ritrovato in altre strutture similari.
Per il resto è una struttura che consiglio a tutti i ragazzi e alle famiglie.

(Translated by Google) Partial review as it relates only to the outdoor swimming pool service. Large and well-kept structure, 3 large swimming pools, a refreshment point and 2 bars, one of which is accessible directly from inside one of the swimming pools. Attention for the little ones with a large area created in one of the swimming pools and suitable flooring. The only negative note is the lack of attention to celiac or intolerant people in the bars and at the refreshment point. Overall sufficient.

(Translated by Google) I signed up my son for the Kinder under 12 tournament. I arrived today March 6th, from Molise, punctually at 5.30pm game time. I went together with the parent of the opposing child from Basilicata and together with our two minor children on pitch 6, uncovered, made of synthetic grass. The weather was very bad and it started raining again. While the children were bathing we were told by the referee to wait for it to rain. Meanwhile we noticed that the pitch was in very bad conditions because it was very wet and even had mud. It certainly wouldn't have dried out even if it had stopped raining because it was now evening. Having taken note of the bad weather conditions, the bad conditions of the pitch, I decided in mutual agreement with Mr Acconcia, to protect the health of our children and to protect them from probable injuries, to ask the referee to play on an indoor pitch also at the end of the last meetings scheduled for 5.30pm. We were answered with a firm no. In the interest of our children we have asked to be able to play the match in a nearby indoor field/club, at our expense. We were answered with a firm no. We had to make the hard decision to leave and return home, traveling about 1 and a half hours, facing the desperation of our children. But the most serious thing was hearing the referee address the children telling them to change sports because tennis is not for them!!!!! I will report the incident to FITPA.. I will advise against anyone who wants to participate in a tennis tournament in this facility.
(Original)
Ho iscritto mio figlio al torneo kinder under 12. Sono arrivato oggi 6 marzo, dal molise, puntuale alle 17 30 orario di gioco. Mi sono recato insieme al genitore del bambino avversario proveniente dalla Basilicata ed insieme ai nostri due figli minorenni sul campo 6 , scoperto, in erbetta sintetica. Il tempo era molto brutto ed iniziava a piovere di nuovo. Mentre i bambini si bagnavano ci veniva detto dal giudice arbitro di aspettare che spiovesse. Intanto abbiamo notato che il campo era in pessime condizioni perche’ molto bagnato ed addirittura con presenza di fango. Non si sarebbe certo asciugato anche se avesse smesso di piovere perche ormai era sera. Preso atto delle cattive condizioni atmosferiche, delle cattive condizioni del campo, decidevo di comune accordo con il sig acconcia, per tutelare la salute dei nostri figli e per metterli al riparo da probabili infortuni, di chiedere al giudice arbitro di giocare in un campo al coperto anche in coda agli ultimi incontri in programma per le 17 :30. Ci veniva risposto con un secco no. Nell’interesse dei nostri figli abbiamo chiesto di potere disputare l’incontro in un campo/ circolo limitrofo al coperto, a nostre spese. Ci veniva risposto con un secco no. Abbiamo dovuto prendere la dura decisione di andare via e tornare a casa percorrendo circa 1 ora e mezzo di viaggio, affrontando la disperazione dei nostri figli. Ma la cosa piu grave è stata sentire il giudice arbitro rivolgersi ai bambini dicendo di cambiare sport perché il tennis non fa per loro!!!!! Segnalerò l’accaduto alla FITPA .. sconsiglierò chiunque voglia partecipare ad un torneo tennis in questa struttura.

(Translated by Google) In Avellino, there are few places where you can go with friends to sip an aperitif, tea or chocolate in peace with friends. One of these is certainly the literary café. The location is really beautiful and welcoming, and during the summer you can also enjoy a large terrace. The three stars are for the wasted opportunity. What could be a real point of reference among the Avellino clubs often finds itself managed very badly. Almost every time I went there, choosing from the menus, I was told "it's finished - we've finished it". Furthermore, when you stop for an aperitif you are offered a miserable tarallini. missed opportunity, but I hope it can improve.

Ad Avellino, sono pochi i locali in cui recarsi con amici per sorseggiare un aperitivo, un tè o una cioccolata in tranquillità con amici. Uno di questi è sicuramente il Caffè letterario. La location è davvero bella, ed accogliente, inoltre durante l'estate è possibile godere anche di una ampia terrazza. Le tre stelle sono per l'occasione sprecata. Quello che potrebbe essere un vero riferimento tra i locali avellinesi, si trova spesso ad essere gestito malissimo. Quasi ogni volta che mi ci sono recato, scegliendo dai menù presenti, mi sono sentito rispondere "è finito - l'abbiamo terminato". Inoltre, quando ci si ferma per un aperitivo viene proposta una misera tarallini. occasione persa, ma spero che possa migliorare.

(Translated by Google) Cozy place, with soft lights and well-arranged tables. Excellent for spending a quiet evening with friends sipping wine and good for organizing small parties. There is always music playing in the background and several DJs offering their service. Staff not always friendly. There is only one bathroom for women and men and perhaps it is unhygienic but still quite clean. It also has a smoking room with tables and sofas. It definitely goes on the list of places to try!

Locale accogliente, con luci soffuse e tavoli ben disposti. Ottimo per trascorrere una serata tranquilla tra amici sorseggiando vino e buono per organizzare piccole feste.

C'è un unico bagno per donne e uomini e forse è poco igienico però comunque abbastanza pulito. Dispone anche di una sala fumatori con tavoli e divanetti. Sicuramente entra nella lista dei locali da provare!

The Sanctuary of Montevergine is a historic monastery dating back to the 1100s, featuring a modern basilica and museum. It is located in a hamlet with about 13,000 inhabitants and is renowned for the territorial Abbey of Montevergine, attracting pilgrims from across Italy and beyond. Over the past few decades, it has experienced significant demographic, urban, and industrial growth due to its proximity to the thriving economic center of Torrette-Torcelli.
A place of stunning beauty.
Wonderful views of Avellino.

Place for prayers, reflection and faith. Wonderful views, beautiful history on how San Guglielmo da Vercielli ( saint Willian from Montevergine) founded the Monastery. Then the history of the Madonna di Monteverdine.
Some of the Relics in the Monastery are S. William and Beato Giulio.

We chose to visit the monastery randomly, mainly because of the very nice road, and because it placed on the top of the mountain - we wanted to see the view from the top.
We were rewarded by snow (!) In the second half of February, and by really great place that is worth visiting!
We haven't walked into the forest because we weren't equiped for the deep snow, but we sure that in any other period the walks should be very nice.
We're highy recommending the monastery for visiting!

Perched atop the mountain, the sanctuary is a treasure trove of wonders. Not only does it offer a sweeping view from the rock that showcases the city below, but inside, the museum exhibits are truly remarkable and captivating. While the ascent can be challenging, the combination of awe-inspiring vistas and enlightening displays make the journey entirely worth it. A must-visit for nature lovers and history buffs alike. Highly recommended!

Mount Vesuvius is a well-known volcano that caused the downfall of Pompeii in 79 AD. It offers an adventurous trek to its summit, but the journey can be challenging. Adequate preparation before embarking on this trip is crucial, as internet connectivity in the area is limited. A recommended platform for organizing such trips would be Get Your Guide.
There is not much to see here, but our tour guide has made the tour to be super fun and informative. We learnt a lot about the impact of volcanoes and how it is monitored, as well as the local perceptions on it. Also, excellent views of Naples and Pompei from here. No bathroom, so go before you hike up there. Very easy hike despite sandy / uneven terrain. Can be done in trainers.

The mountain is sooo gorgeous 😍 BUT it's so hard to get here without taking excursion that we made it only from the second attempt.
What you should know about the park:
🌋Working hours changes every season, so check it on the official website. In November you could enter the park above 14:50.
🌋There no ticket office on the top, so you should by a ticket in advance online for certain time (entrance is every 20 minutes).
🌋The regular ticket price is 12€, for younger than 25 y. - 10€.
🌋The way from the entrance to the top approximately 15-20 minutes.
🌋You can leave your bags near the entrance.
There are some ways to get Vesuvio park:
📌 The most economic option is getting from Pompei by EAV bus. The price is 3.1€. The schedule you can find on the website visitpompeiivesuvius.com. Also, you can get on this bus on the stop in Torre del Greco.
📌Take taxi from Ercolano Scavi. We payed 10€/person.
📌Go to Ercolano Scavi and take an excursion which includes transfer and entrance ticket. It costs 25€ for everything.
📌Get by car. People say in the comments that the parking is not free and you should buy ticket for parking online.
Despite this difficulty, it was really incredible experience getting here. The view from the top is amazing!
Sofiya Pavliak — Google review
I give this place a 4 star for people that may like to see memorialized places. Honestly it is very uneventful and not much to see. It is quite a hike.
The breakdown of must know. You must get tickets in advance. Tickets are time of entry tickets so you’re not getting in early if you arrive early. Then you are supposed to by parking in advance. It is only 3€. The strange thing is we were assigned Lot A space 2. There is no lot and there is no attendant per say. We were just instructed to park wherever so no accountability. Next after parking the car you can walk the narrow steep road with fast moving busses just missing you or pay 10€ each person for the shuttle at the base. It’s about 1-2 mile ride before going into the park. There are no bathrooms at all. I saw one outhouse and it had a lock on it and said Staff Only. So plan accordingly. There are no bathrooms driving up the hill just a couple restaurants and they say buy something or no bathrooms.
The trail up to the volcano is steep and uneven with of course lava rock on it. There are a couple resting places in the way up. There were lots of tours and lots of 60+ year old doing it so can be done by most. Again no bathrooms but you have to walk through 3 souvenir shops on the way. We are in good shape and we reached the top in 30 minutes. Most tours stopped and view from the first viewpoint. You can continue to the top but it is another 5-10 minutes and it is mostly more of the same. So not necessary if your tired after the climb. The views of Napoli,Pompei, Capri and Ischia are breathtaking.
Overall if in the area why not but I don’t think I would make a special trip for it. Would be nice if they added som sort of services for the visitors. The top where all the busses are is crowded and hectic. Small space with lots of people and large busses turning around and honking.

We drove our car to the foot of Mount Vesuvius. Parking quite close. Then we went on foot to the bonfire itself. We got hiking poles at the foot, so it was a little easier for us, because the path climbs quite steeply. At the top, of course, a brilliant view and an interesting dormant crater. We dealt quite a bit with the pesky gnat that stung and caused discomfort.

Mount Vesuvius, viewed from Naples, presents an awe-inspiring and somewhat solemn spectacle. This infamous volcano, known for its catastrophic eruption in 79 AD that buried the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, stands as a reminder of nature's unpredictable power. From a distance, Vesuvius has a grand and majestic appearance, dominating the skyline with its iconic conical shape. Its slopes, often shrouded in mist or clouds, add a touch of mystery to its imposing presence.
Though we couldn't experience Vesuvius up close, the view from Naples offered a unique perspective. The contrast of the bustling city life in Naples against the quiet, looming figure of Vesuvius creates a fascinating juxtaposition. The volcano, despite its dormant state, exudes a sense of latent power. As evening falls, the changing colors of the sky behind Vesuvius provide a beautiful backdrop, often enhancing its silhouette in a dramatic and picturesque manner.
For tourists, the view of Mount Vesuvius from Naples is not just a visual treat but also a moment to reflect on the rich historical and geological significance of this natural landmark. It's a reminder of the delicate balance between human civilization and the forces of nature. While it's a pity not to visit the volcano up close, seeing it from a distance still offers a memorable and thought-provoking experience.

It is not an easy trip to the top. But if you plan before coming, you will get there with no problems. Remember to download every document you need since the network connection is very very low over there. I used Get Your Guide for this trip.

There were no tickets on the site to buy. You have to buy it online. We sow along the road signs with “tickets for Vesuvius”. So we stopped and a man gived us internet and helped us to buy ticket both for entrance and for car park. The tickets for the shuttle bus are sold separately. As you can't compare people, you can't compare places. Each one is beautiful in their way. If you know a bit about this volcano, Is a very interesting experience to see the cities that it destroyed, the huge crater with lines of smoke here and there and some spectacular views over Napoli 🥰. It is considered the most dangerous volcano because of the population living around it: 600000 in the danger zone. We went at the end of March and wasn't crowded at all. Also, I think that is only one toilet there, if you buy something from the shop. The people from the shop were nice and polite, they gave lollipops for free to my kids, and a drink made by themselves.

The volcano itself is an impressive natural wonder but the management and maintenance needs to be worked on. You need to buy a ticket for 11 euros online only to enter and select a specific time when you'll be there ( luckily there was free Wi-Fi at the entrance and the entrance staff helped me to fill the form). Then you have a 170m climb up and down - I wanted to go full circle around the crater, but it was not possible due to maintenance. Full of cheap souvenirs sellers along the hike, who all feel like a scam.. Could be an impressive natural wonder, but terrible management makes the experience bad..

As it is often confusing, check out the review for the "National Park Vezuvio" where I explained how to get here. Here I'll only review the top as a natural phenomenon. It's great, although when I visited it was snowing and rumbling so I didn't see anything at all, but that's also pretty in a different way.

Never get the €3.20 bus from Pompeii. It’s a scam they take you to the top they only inform you once you have no internet you must book online to get in. If you go on website about the volcano they all say pay at gate with cash this was not in fact the case. Pre book tickets. When we got up there some man wanted us to use our credit card on his phone to get tickets.. for a tourist attraction everything and everybody spoke Italian which seemed a bit off. Only go if you are prepare to be scammed

Absolutely huge volcano located close to Naples! In order to get there you need to catch a bus from Ercolano or Pompei. You can also catch a taxi (that looks like a shuttle bus but with a sign saying taxi) which will cost you around €50 for round trip. Keep in mind that there is an entrance fee for the volcano which in €10. Furthermore, you can't stay there for as long as you like because there is a fixed time. The maximum time you can spend is 2 hours. From the entrance to the top takes around 45 minutes. There are 3 checkpoints with food and beverages where you can chill for a bit. It is very hot on the path and there aren't any trees. Bring old or mountain shoes with you because the path is covered with ash and you will ruin your shoes. Overall, a pretty tough and costly trip but it was something different and interesting.

This was definitely worth seeing. It makes you realise just how insignificant we are.
Tickets must be bought in advance. None are sold on site. There is no wifi on the mountain, and if you turn up without a ticket, you will not be allowed in. The entry tickets are timed, but they allow entry for up to an hour after the stated time, which was good as I missed the bus!
You can catch the EAV bus from two points in Pompei. It can leave five minutes early, so give ample time. The first stop is at the Pompeii Piazza Anfiteatro entrance. The stop is a little way past the entrance across the road from Ristorante Corallo. The other stop is outside the Pompeii Scavi Station. However, at this stop, you risk the bus being full and unable to take more passengers.
The ticket checkers at Mount Vesuvius were rude in their approach, to the point where they were trying to humiliate the people entering. It's totally unnecessary and needs to be dealt with.
It is a long, hot, steep climb to the volcano. The surface is loose, so wear good shoes. There are cafes and souvenir shops along the way, but they are pricey. There was a toilet at one of the shops, but you had to buy something to use it.
There are a number of viewing areas so you can get a good look into the volcano. You get to walk around about half of it. It took about an hour to get up and walk around.
Keep an eye on the time because there are limited buses, and it is a long walk back. If the bus is full, you will need to wait for the next one. The bus drops off at the same place they pick up.

Mount Vesuvius is a must visit if you are in this part of Italy.
Apart from the breathtaking views that you can enjoy amazing is of course the sensation of climbing an active volcano and actually seeing its majestic caldera. Walking around the brim of the volcano is a beautiful experience.
The climb from the parking where all buses and cars stop is around 20min. and achievable for people from all ages with their own paces.
My personal advice, book a ticket couple of days/weeks, depending of the season, so you can guarantee yourself an entry. There are certain time slots for visiting and once you choose you have to be precise at reaching the entry point around that time.

Overall experience is very pleasant. I received detailed insteuctions how to find office that will provide ticket and transportation. It takes 20 minutes by train. I arrived 30 minutes before department and I was told group will joint ten minutes before departure. I took last available tour at 15:00. Some busses are good , some are even better but there is no A/c. Actually it it better to adapt to heat on top of mountain. There are several spots with drinks and during a day you can enjoy spectacular view. On the was back we 'received" free limoncello taštine. Actually a promo to buy some drinks and it is nice

Booked this as a twin center excursion through TUI, which was this lovely mountain/volcano and Pompei ruins after.
This place is so beautiful with amazing views, I would recommend good walking shoes here as is very gravely on the track up.
Also gets very hot early on till near the summit where it cools.
It's a fairly easy trek up if you pace it with little kiosks on the journey up selling water etc.
You are rewarded with 360 degree views all the way up to the summit and the crater gives a good idea of the magnitude of the explosion.
You get a feeling of a big achievement for doing it and take great memories with you, well worth doing.

An easy stroll to the top on paths made of pumice and shingle.
Amazing views of the crater and the surrounding towns. Well worth a visit.
Shame about the souvenir shop on the top!!

Visiting Mount Vesuvius is an amazing experience, the sights are wonderful and the trail is well kept. Be aware, if you want to do the gran cono trail that leads to the summit, you need to buy tickets online in advance. Tickets are 9€ and can be bought on the website of the mount vesuvius national park.

Nice views of the volcano! But check in advance the visibility towards the coast. The smog (I assume) was not letting to see anything.

Not fun, went to the top after paying for three shuttle service only to find that the tickets were sold in a very unintuitive manner, very difficult to purchase. Ended up going back without ever seeing the top. Great place but fix the way tickets are sold. Grazie.

The view is nice, but if trail number 5 is closed, then it's a very short walk. Tickets are only available online and cost 10 euros. You can get there by bus from Pompeii which is €3.80. Pompeii can be reached by trenitalia train from Naples, and the price is 2.50 euros. If you leave from erculiano with Vesuvios Express it is more expensive, there the price of the bus is 12 euros. As well as the price of the train is 15 euros. If taken for the previous or next stop it is 2.20 euros. There is quite a nice view from the Volcano.

Vesuvius has erupted many times since. It is the only volcano on Europe's mainland to have erupted in the last hundred years. It is regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world because 3,000,000 people live near enough to be affected by an eruption, with at least 600,000 in the danger zone. This is the most densely populated volcanic region in the world. Eruptions tend to be violent and explosive; these are known as plinian eruptions.

Pre-booked a service from Naples to Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii, with pizza lunch included, but it's fairly accessible with public transport too.
The driver dropped us at the entrance of Mount Vesuvius and then we had to walk up the hill to the guides' meeting point. The guide itself lasted only a few minutes because of the strong winds.
The crater is steaming in places and the view is amazing. Can also get a panoramic view of the region, incl. Naples & Capri. At the top you can find a couple of souvenir shops that also sell refreshments, all fairly priced.

Sights & Landmarks
Archaeological area protecting the ruins of Herculaneum, an ancient city destroyed by Vesuvius.
The most spectacular day out in history. Visit before a visit to Pompeii to get a sense of a more compact life. The site is amazing, so much to see, so many highlights and so much complete. We turned up and got tickets on the door, I would advice going early for this. The surrounding area is also amazing to give you a sense of everyday italian life. The bakery up the road is unreal.
Terry Husher — Google review
I'd heard it was better than Pompeii because the ruins were more complete. Kind of a difficult place to access on narrow streets. My travel partner's iPhone GPS took us to the back side of the property. We had to drive around to the front side through street flea markets in what appeared to be a very rough section of town. Finally made it. A very nice gentleman assisted me with parking. We were about to park in an illegal spot and get a ticket. Some of the more attractive exhibits were closed due to renovation. Guide books in English were out of stock so I had to take one in Italian. My internet didn't work very well so it was difficult to use online access to descriptive information.
The place gives great insight into first century A.D. Roman life. I especially liked seeing homes with the atria, mosaics and frescoes. To fully appreciate and explore it I would recommend allowing at least 3 to 4 hours or more. We didn't have that much time.
Dominic Carpin — Google review
I only found out this place existed while searching for Pompeii tickets. Herculaneum (Ercolano) was actually hit with ash before Pompeii and at a much higher temperature (500°C as opposed to 250°C in Pompeii). It is a lot less crowded than Pompeii and I would say a lot of things are better preserved. It is also much smaller so you don’t have to spend as much time exploring and it’s easy to not miss anything (unlike Pompeii). There are no restaurants or cafes inside however there are plenty choose from in the surrounding area. I highly recommend Pappamonte!
Kel Sangiorgi — Google review
I visited Pompeii years ago, and I wanted to see Herculaneum this time. I was not disappointed. 14€ admission plus 10€ for audio guide. Takes about 2 hours. Free, clean bathrooms at entrance. If you have to choose between the two, choose Pompeii. Easy walk from train station. If coming from Sorrento or Pompeii, you need to change trains 2 stops north of Pompeii. No need for reservations. No wait at 11 a.m. on Friday late October.

I didn't feel too enthralled when we arrived in the car park, partly due to the torrential rain. However once we started walking around it was really interesting. Some of the information boards could do with refurbishing but I was pleased to find that some of the information was written in English. We had a very good guide who really brought the place to life. I was amazed by how well some of the murals and mosaics are preserved, and so colourful. Also fantastic that we could get so close to these ancient remains, and even walking on some of the mosaic floors. Definitely worth a visit and friends who have been to Pompeii said that they prefer Herculaneum even though its smaller.
Valerie Powell — Google review
We visited Herculaneum the day after we had a fantastic guided tour of Pompeii. We had learned so much during that tour that we felt it was unnecessary to do another guided tour. Therefore , we did Herculaneum in our own pace and we had an amazing day in this once so fabulous holiday resort by the sea. The buildings are better preserved than in Pompeii and you find lots of places with 2000 year old wooden planks. We spent about 3 hours wandering around the ancient city. It is much smaller than Pompeii, but there is so much amazing to see.
Vidar Steffensen — Google review
This place is fantastic. In my view much better than Pompeii: a fantastic, detailed little pamphlet (in various languages including English) is given with the entrance, so no need for a guide. Plus great views from on high before you descent into the site. The site is FAR less crowded than Pompeii, and much smaller. Regardless was there for about 2.5 hours. The ruins are in much better condition and there are some beautiful mosaics remaining. Lovely, well-fed cats walk around as well. Well-worth the entrance cost of about 13 euros. Easy and cheap train ride from Naples centre as well.
Jennifer Smith — Google review
Far less crowded than Pompeii but probably more stunning. Only the residential and shopping areas have been excavated, as the municipal buildings are under the modern town so can’t be excavated. But the quality of artifacts are amazing. The colours of the murals; carbonised staircases and roof beams; not to mention 400 skeletons of the unfortunate souls waiting for a boat that didn’t come.
You really get a sense of perspective of the amount of volcanic debris, since the current city is right against the excavation site.
A must-see experience. And make sure you have a guided tour!
Richard Grainger — Google review
As the other reviews have noted, this site is the companion to Pompeii. In my opinion, it's not better nor worse than Pompeii, but different and complementary. Because a city was built around and on top of the original city, the site is smaller, in a pit, surrounded by the current city of Herculaneum. But, the preservation of organic material, and the skeletons visible in what were the docks are striking.
Practical things to note:
1. The site is about 30 minutes outside Naples.
2. Tickets can be purchased on site.
3. Easy to navigate the site, but suggest an audio tour. Otherwise, you won't really know what you're looking at.
4. There are toilets and vending machines in the park. Bring change for the vending machines.
5. There is a little set of vendor booths outside the park with snacks and some souvenirs. These take cash and cards (though I think they prefer cash).
6. It's an archeological site: There are almost no even surfaces. Cobblestones, stepping up and down, etc.
Jason Noah — Google review
Phenomenal experience! Absolutely stunning frescoes and well preserved buildings give a look back into earlier life.
If you are in a hurry, do the tour with a guide. The streets are winding and you may not exit on your first try. Audio guide is good if you have time to wander.

Amazing ruins!! There is an online guide that explains the background to the marked ruins and takes you round in order. The highlight for me were the mosaics in the baths. Tickets were €26 for a group of two which can be bought from the ticket office near the entrance. There is also parking nearby. Definitely worth a visit!

We decided to go here after speaking to a lot of people in Sorrento about Pompei and how much quieter this was. Can't compare as I haven't been to both but this was amazing. Definitely recommend it. We came be express train. Air conditioned trains and not to busy. €15/way/person

Amazing experience however if I were to go again I would choose a cooler season. There's a lot of walking involved and not much shade to be found. The site has a few water fountains so make sure you carry a bottle. Also if you go in the summer a hat and any sort of fan is a must. Happy exploring.

Much smaller and easier to get around than Pompeii. Probably 2/3 hours is enough. Unfortunately there were a few areas closed including the baths which was disappointing but I suppose they've got to maintain these areas sometime.
However, gives a good insight into the past.
Didn't buy tickets in advance but a very little wait, not sure if it's like that all the time.

Overshadowed by Pompeii often but just as important to visit. Many of the ruins are more preserved than Pompeii. Much smaller site. We visited end of January and a dream, no crowds. Probably only 2 - 3 hours needed to do it all. A must visit!

Well, astonishing to say the least. Civilised, modern living community, with hot drink and fast food outlets....even surplus cash to have a 'shocking' sculpture done to grab attention and raise a laugh....until the volcano ash came done that is! Well worth a visit.
Christopher Campbell — Google review
Went in the late fall in 2023. Beautiful and quiet, almost no crowds at all which allowed us to take our time and look around. There was an eery quietness to the day, with Mt Vesuvius overlooking the ruins.
There were plenty of places to sit throughout, and a clean bathroom.
There wasn't any real place to eat in the park, so either bring your own or stop at one of the places nearby just outside the park.
The mini museum has some fantastic things to see, it is quiet and clean.
If you have problems walking over rough terrain, or up and down hills you may have problems with this site. It's much smaller than Pompeii but still quite vast, and some very up and down areas. Rocky areas can be tricky and some areas are narrow going into.
The Duomo di San Gennaro is one of the most stunning and vast cathedrals in Naples. It was built on the foundations of two earlier churches, dating back to 570 AD, and features a neo-Gothic facade and art-filled chapels. The Royal Chapel of the Treasure of San Gennaro is home to some of the city's most impressive frescoes, sculptures, busts, porphyry alabasters and gold plaques.
Gorgeous cathedral. The entry is free and they allow you to visit the underground hall and a few other halls filled with history and beautiful sculptures.
Nadezhda Gavadinova — Google review
For all the Cathedrals I've visited, this is by far one of the best. It is free entry, and so extravagant. Although I was told that you had to dress respectfully (shoulders and knees covered) this wasn't respected here? No hats to be worn in the Cathedral, and masks are optional, but it is a wonderful place to get hit with the full force of Catholicism.

One of the best places to visit in Naples. Essential. I recommend to visit while there’s natural light because the lighting in the city is not too good. Also you’ll find the crypt of Saint Genaro open which is a must see as well.
All for free.

Very nice cathedral to visit. Beautiful wall paintings and a very nice ceiling! Most beautiful part was the dome, it holds 2 layers and you can look outside. Don't forget to go in the crypt, nice to see. Only downside are the rovers outside the cathedral, not really friendly to watch.....

The Napoli Sotterranea Percorso Ufficiale is an underground archaeological museum that showcases the history of Naples from prehistory to the present day. The museum features a variety of exhibits including ancient necropolises, Roman aqueducts, WWII air-raid shelters, and more.
Great tour and very informative. The guide was very friendly and taught us things we never even knew about Naples. There is some steep steps at the end, but you can take your time if you struggle with steps. Remember to buy tickets in advance as they do sell out - you can buy at the entrance or via an app like Get Your Guide. The tickets are very good value for money!

Its a great tour of 1.5 hours discovering the underground remains of an old roman theater and water tanks. There are some very narrow tunnels that they alert claustrophobic people before entering where they can wait outside and the group rejoins them later. Price in 10 euros and 8 for students. Tours are available in italian, english, spanish and french

An eerie experience, but worthwhile visit to learn about the past. English guide was very informative and interesting. There are areas that are not good for the faint hearted, especially the very narrow entrance where you had to walk sideways just to get in, you need the light from your phone to follow the narrow path. It was worth every penny.
Florence Parker — Google review
Entrance is very unorganized. They have a line on one side and the guides just tell people to come back 10 minutes before but then have you get in the same line anyway. As long as you show up and get in line, you will get in - tickets can be purchased up the steps. They will let the people in with tickets first then those left can purchase tickets in the next tour group.
Tour was just ok though, the best part was walking through the tunnels and going into the basement of a house to see the Roman theater. Stay close to the guide to be able to hear/understand.

A really interesting visit in Naples. Queued for approx 15 minutes to join the next tour in English. You are able to pay by card. Our guide was really informative and had a great dry sense of humour. Some parts are very tight during the tour and require most adults to walk sideways but there is the option to sit these out if you prefer or if there is anybody with claustrophobia. We had backpacks on and managed fine holding them by our side for these parts.

It was an interesting and pleasant experience. We waited in line for about 15 minutes before purchasing the tickets. The price of the ticket is 15€ and 10€ for students and you can't pay by card. Place offers English or Italian speaking guide and you cannot go alone so you don't get lost. The tour is about 2 hours and you see and learn lot of interesting things. I wouldn't recommend to people who are claustrophobic because there are lot of little passages.

ℹ️If you are not a big fan of museums and want to visit only 1-2 in Naples, then this is definitely the place to go. It gives a good overview of the city history. Very exciting to follow these narrow tunnels underground. Also, it was good to see the remains of amphitheater hidden under the buildings. This tour gave me a good understanding of how this city really is built like a "lasagne".
*️⃣HINT: We arrived there 45 min before the English tour and the group was already full. Fortunately the lady in the ticket office hinted us that most people register for the tour online and more spots become usually available about 5 min before the tour since some of them will not show up.
💶HINT 2: you can buy the tickets with cash only!!!

You enter this tour off a Naples side street and descend down a narrow passageway deep under the city. This passage was started in medieval times but not completed until WW2 due to the urgent need for bomb shelters. Thousands of Neapolitans fled to these underground shelters for weeks as the bombing of their city raged above. Impressive tour that gives you an experience of what those times were like. Great tour guide also. Definitely recommend.

Very interesting tour, we did this on a very rainy day and lots of people had the same idea.
There is a part of the tour where you go through very narrow tunnels and have to crab walk sideways, and use the torch on your phone. However, you can bypass this part if you are claustrophobic. (It was fun though!)
The rest of the tour is wide open, big chambers so not an issue.
It was about 1hr 45 mins in total.
Lauren Pieri — Google review
The Naples underground was visually impressive and thinking about how old some of these caves are and for how many generations they have been added on to is mind boggling. However, booking the tour didn’t really feel worth it. The explanations we got were often hard to understand, not helped by the fact that everyone has to move in a line due to the tunnels being quite narrow in places, with the guide leading and lecturing up front. I felt hustled through this “experience” creating the most touristy experience of the entire stay. You should take the tour only if you insist to take pictures yourself, if not this is a part of Naples you can skip. Filming is not allowed.

This was an amazing experience to go under this famous city. Ancient quarries turned aqueducts turned wine cellars turned bomb shelters. So much history. Very informative and mind boggling. Bonus you also get to tour the ancient Roman Teatro ruins. There are a lot of stairs (130+)and a part of the tour takes you through very narrow and low passages. Not recommended if you are claustrophobic or have mobility problems. You can bypass the passages part but not the stairs.

Unfortunately not worth the wait or the price. We booked our tour through GetYourGuide. The place was hard to find. People with no ticket could simply rush past everyone else it seems. The tour itself is quite uneventful. The guide had quite a few interesting things to say when you were able to hear her but it was quite frustrating having been rushed from one place to another and having to listen to other guides giving the tour at the same time. Save yourself the money and time. Enjoy the pictures and go have fun above ground 👍🏼

Very good tour! We came earlier to buy tickets when it was not really needed, everyone who came 15min before the tour start was able to get inside on December 31st. English tour guide is great, the route through Aquaduct is pretty doable for anyone who doesn't have claustrophobic issues, narrow route is not for people who can't stand small closed spaces because it is very narrow, you have to walk sidewards. The only downside is that there were too many people, in the begining it was pretty hard to hear the guide and was lacking air in the first room where the tour started.
Worth the visit, though 15€ is maybe too much for it. 2nd part with Roman amphitheatre is brilliant! Amazing Neapolitan history !!!

Amazing tour!! Arriving at the center it was a little confusing - long line and no one giving info. But once we got in the guide was amazing and everything was clear. The tunnels were so fun! We bought through get your guide and got to skip the line, but maybe paid $1-2 more? Probably would have been ok to buy there. The tour also led outside and we got to see an amphitheater that is now someone’s house as well as a small museum.
10/10 would do again.

I was originally confused as to which tour company I should go with.

Via S. Gregorio Armeno is a famous street in Naples, Italy. It's known for its beautiful architecture and extensive shopping opportunities year-round. The street's namesake is Saint Gregory the Great, who was instrumental in the conversion of Europe to Christianity.

This is a review of the general historic quarter, not just this street. Naples is an experience. There are some lovely buildings and squares but much of It is overloaded with rubbish and graffiti. It is a central location for sites. We had an Airbnb in 'the historic quarter' however we didn't bargain for our safety. It is a pleasure to walk along the main narrow streets along with many other people in the day time. Just a street off that at 18.15 hours we had 2 different people approach us in an unnerving manner. We realised that as no public transport was operating in the early hours of the morning we would need a taxi. Taxis could only come to a corner near to us and we wanted to walk there quickly and get straight in to a taxi, not wait around. It was unerving with the people on the streets but fortunately we had pre-booked a private transfer with World Tours Naples and they were there. What a relief. Lesson learnt-will not be staying in those type of areas again.

5++ The most beautiful, magical and happy street in Napoli! No matter how many times you’ll cross this narrow packed alley, you will never get enough and always see something new. Best Napoli experience!
The Cappella Sansevero is a baroque chapel in Naples that houses some of the most important artworks by leading Italian artists of the 18th century. Highlights include a statue of the Veiled Christ created by Giuseppe Sanmartino, and frescoes by Francesco Maria Russo that are still untouched nearly 200 years after their creation.
Such an amazing experience. Some of the most beautiful statues I have ever seen was in this place. I am still impressed by the details and beauty of the status

One of the most spectacular locations in Naples housing an absolute masterpiece, The Veiled Christ. The craftsmanship is truly mindblowing. The lifeless body of Jesus with an almost liquid flowing veil contains so much intricate detail that you can't comprehend how this is sculpted from marble.
The other sculptures are equally impressive with one marble sculpture depicting a net over a body which looks incredible.
You'll also find the anatomical machines at this location which showcases the circulatory nervous system preserved on human remains, it's fascinating.
Definitely go here! Appreciate the masterpieces.
Travis Davids — Google review
If this is the only place you visit your trip to Naples will be worthwhile just to see the spectacular Veiled Christ. It left me emotional and breathless. How a man carved this from marble is mindbending.
Nicholas Cumming — Google review
This very small museum houses some incredible art and, of course, the sculpture of the veiled Christ, which is simply breathtaking. Definitely reccomend it. Unfortunately, you can't take pictures once inside.
We waited over 1 hr to buy tickets for a time slot later in the day, so it is worth buying these before hand online.

The Sansevero Chapel is one that shouldn’t be missed. The maze marble floors to the ceilings are fantastically adorned in the style of Baroque. And it’s star, the Veiled Christ, is inspiring even if you aren’t religious.
Justine Bursoni — Google review
If you want to go you almost always have to buy tickets in advance. If you are lucky you might get a ticket for later that day. I know you used to be able to walk in. But this place (like many) has changed visitor protocols since covid.
Buying in advance in person or online is easy. It is worth it for one of the great museums.
The veiled Christ sculpture is unique.
I enjoyed the audio guide as it really helped with the religious and Masonic symbols in the chapel.
Also, no photos inside.
Peter Lee — Google review
This museum simply houses one of the outstanding sculpture works in the world (plus the anatomical machines) for a ticket worth a €13 ticket including the audio guide.
This is definitely the fairest price ever for such a worthy masterpiece. Despite it's not mandatory, advanced booking is likely the only practical solution for short queueing. I'd recommend being at the museum about 15 minutes earlier than the entrance time on the ticket.
Fabiano Danzet — Google review
Undoubtedly it is a must to see in Naples, the Veiled Christ and the Chapel are amazing, wonderful, stunning, and so on. But it is extremely expensive having in mind:
- You need to take the tickets in advance if you want to see the Chapel.
- if you buy the tickets online it is more expensive than buying them in the ticket office
- you cannot take pictures nor record anything inside the Chapel.
- as you have to book for a certain time, the capacity of people should be less so that you can enjoy your visit, but probably you will find a guided tour (coming from the cruises) with a lot of people around the sculpture.
- the management of the place is awful, the staff barely speaks in English (or any other language)
Luis Vidal — Google review
The sculptures are uniquely masterfully executed and it is well worth visiting. The fact that this special place has been turned into another tourist attraction just to genetate revenue, but not providing any meaningful information to highlight the historical context and needlessly imiting the personal experience by not allowing personal photos (while shamelessly using the beautiful sculptures for their own touristy merchandising - see photos), is certainly a pity. Still, worth the visit aslobg as the lines are not too long.

The most beautiful place I have ever been. Rich in history, very humbling. The paintings and statues are flawless, so very surreal to believe that they are hundreds of years old!
So very humbling to comprehend that someone made them by hand! The techniques, the vibrant colours and that no restoration has been required. Everyone MUST see the entirety of this most artistically sacred place! Sacred and hallowed ground!

A must while you’re in Naples. Get your tickets in advance and go there on time. The statues are so beautiful and carved perfectly, you’re not allowed to take photos in there, and there are people who are making sure you’re not taking any photo :(, at the exit there is a barcode that you can scan and download the pictures from there.

What a shame for Neapel, what a shame for Italy. They captured the building with an amazing impressive statues what only exists ones in the world and make money from it. The builder of these amazing statues change in a grave when he know what Italy are doing. This work have to see everyone, including touch and photos... it's marbel

The veiled Christ statue is truly amazing to see. Amazing detail under the shroud. There are also several other statues and paintings. The basement houses two skeletons that displayed the anatomical scientific knowledge of the day. Book well in advance. The entire visit with audio guide took 30 minutes. You are basically paying to see the Veiled Christ statue. More could be and should be added to this Museum. No photos allowed.

Via Francesco de Sanctis, 19/21, 80134 Napoli NA, Italy
The Santa Chiara monastery complex is located in the heart of Naples, Italy. The church and cloisters are both huge and beautiful, with elaborate ceilings, tiled floors, and colorful paintings on the walls. There's also a museum inside the complex with plenty of artifacts from the history of Naples.
Entry is 6 euros for adults (4.5 for students under 30) and it's definitely worth the price. Walking through the tall collumns around the interior garden with the yellow and blue all around was simply amazing. Definitely a must see in Napoli. We saw it in the morning before our flight. I would have regretted not giving it a chance.

My boyfriend and I happened upon this church as we were walking by. We found out that we could walk inside of the church and it was BEAUTIFUL! I only rate it three stars because it isn't until now that I see there was a whole museum aspect to it as well! Had I known, I would have loved to look around. Regardless, it was beautiful, as historical churches are just another level of beauty to admire while abroad.

Visited this place as a second very important place while visiting first time of Naples. My Sunday visit was around noon time, queue was long but all moved very quickly. Tickets are available only in counter, Credit card payment possible. Entry is actually to the cloister itself with colorful tiles columns and benched, which are the main attraction of this place, inner garden, small museum, and archeological excavations, which I skipped, as it was overcrowded. Basilica of Santa Chiara is possible to visit free of charge from the main square.
Inner patio with beautifully hand made pained tiles is stunning, but that's probably all.
For my was interesting to visit small cloister library with bunch of vey old book since 14th century, illuminated Bible and gospel books in Latin.

Definitely recommend spending the €6 to go into the courtyard area. Absolutely beautiful. Really enjoyed wondering around, going into the museum and seeing the archaeological area.
Axel Munthe renovated Villa San Michele in the early 20th century, and it is now a stunning museum with lush gardens and panoramic views of Capri. It's an enchanting place to visit with its beautiful gardens and views of Capri. Admission is 8 euros per person.
We found this villa perchance on a visit to Anacapri and loved it. The house has some interesting pieces of information but the garden is gorgeous with a stunning view. Worth a visit!

Good view but I mean the struggle of getting there...I would not go there again. Very steep stairs and like lots of them. Not for unfit people unless they have all day. Inside not much to see. 10euro entry. There is a toilet inside. There is a cafeteria inside. Outside restaurant and gift shops and more pointless shops like chocolate place and sandals place.there is a 3200 years old sphinx to see. Well the back of it as it is overseeing the bay. Took me 15 min to see.

Axel Munthe, who built this villa, was not only a doctor but also a bestseller author with exquisite taste and of an admirable intellectual independence. You pay 10 Euro to visit the villa and you get incredible value: a beautiful house and architecture, a garden as a small paradise, excellent antiquities, and above all a view of the Golf of Naples you may never forget and cherish forever. Its beauty will stay in my heart forever.

For me it was an amazing experience as I really wished to visit the Villa after reading the book some time ago. I have walked on the stairs for about 30 minutes, it's a little bit challanging but with some nice views along the way. The garden is amazing and the view is worth all the journey in the end. It was a rainy day so not so many tourists there, which for me was also a plus.

This place has its own vibe with old furniture and equipment from time, when Axel Munthe lived there. Also garden is worth to see - long arcade with creeping plants and best view on harbour and see at the end of it... If you want only make picture with nice view - don't pay 10€ entrance fee to vila and only continue your stroll trough pavement beside entry to villa with many beautiful shops to the rim of cliff...

The house does not rise to the same level as other beautiful places in Capri, but it offers a superb panorama over the Marina Grande in Capri. You can't kiss the sight offered. I warmly recommend it for an unforgettable view. The entrance price is 10 euros per person, quite a lot for what it offers inside, the garden is beautiful but not wow, but the view is incredible

Beautiful place with a beautiful story behind its construction by Axel Munthe. It costed us 10 euro per person to enter the house and travel around its gardens. You can enjoy the stunning view without paying for visiting the house itself and just walk around it.
San Michele is a baroque church in the town of San Nicola, on the island of Procida. The exterior of the building is unassuming, but the intricate painted tile floor depicting the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Eden makes it one of the island's most popular tourist attractions.
Church San Michele is renowned for its stunning majolica floor, depicting expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. The floor was designed by Leonardo Chiaiese, an artist from Capri and created in the 18th century. The church itself is a remarkable example of Caprese architecture and artistry. The intricacies of its artwork and the serene atmosphere make it a worthwhile stop for those exploring the island's heritage.

UNIQUE work of Art on the FLOOR
During our tour of Capri Island, I visited the San Michele Arcangelo Church on 3rd May 2019. This church built in the 18th century is located at Piazza San Nicola. The church had been built to an octagonal plan covered by a dome. The high altar stands beyond the Octagonal area and is of marble along with two figures of angels in white. The side altars are in 18th century wood.
The statue of San Michele Angelico stands on a side on a wooden altar. Many beautiful paintings adorn the side walls.
The octagonal floor, however, is the main attraction. Visitors can only walk on the wooden pavement on the periphery of the octagonal floor. It is an earthenware floor, decorated, glazed and fired to have a ceramic-like finish called 'majolica'. On this Majolica floor are figures of Adam and Eve, exiled from Paradise, a figure of an angel with a sword emphasizing the exile. In this mosaic of figures are plants and animals including the mythical unicorn. The figures are impressively attractive and beautiful, even though some are perhaps artist's fantasies.
I was glad that the floor is well cared for to preserve its indescribable beauty and cultural heritage.

We went to the church (April 2023) although Google said it was temporarily closed, and found it was open. You pay 2€ entrance fee, but that is not so much, and it is certainly quite unique to see a tiled floor like that in a church... Worth it, we would say!

The Blue Grotto is an accessible sea cave on Capri that is known for its deep blue waters and beautiful reflections. It is a popular tourist attraction with skippers singing traditional Neapolitan folk songs as you explore its depths. The last thing to see in Capri in one day is the interior of the Blue Grotto which is brightly illuminated by the suns rays filtered through the rocks.
We took a guided boat tour around the island that my friends booked. I don’t know the name of the tour company, unfortunately, but we had a great time. We stopped at the Blue Grotto for about a 15-20 minute ride with the guides that wait outside the cave to take you in. It cost us €15 each, but it was worth it, the color of the water in the cavern is spectacular. The whole island is beautiful when circumnavigated.
johnsko Johns — Google review
Honestly feels a little bit of a scam IMO. Starts off at 20€ per person, but then add on 14€ for the actual row boat / grotto part (not widely advertised) plus pressure to tip, it easily ended up being 80€ for two of us. The actual time spent in the grotto is less than 5mins. Compared to similar experiences in Malta for example, not worth the money for us I'm afraid.
Robin Edser — Google review
5 stars for the view, 1 star for the experience. On average 3 stars.
As many of you can see from the reviews, each of us paid 15 for the entrance, and a “tip” is required to the boat guy, around 5 euros. When we were in the cave, we asked him whether we could swim in the cave, and he openly said “pay me 20 and I’ll stay for a few mins longer”. My friend BRIBED him and jumped into the water, but I hesitated since there was no fresh water nearby and I really hate being salty. The cave itself is breathtaking, but the whole experience was very bizarre. I heard from some friends who traveled to the cave many years ago that there was not much restriction and way less commercialized. Wonder what happened to the regulations.
I’m wondering if a private boat would be better? I’d like to go back to the grotto one day again, but definitely not what I’ve experienced.

We bought a boat tour around the island in the morning. From the Capri's port we went directly to the blue grotto - we were there around 10.15 a.m. and there was already lots of people waiting on the stairs and also on the boats. We got inside quite quick. The entrance was 14 Euro - quite a lot for a 5 minute ride... We changed the boat for small boats and got inside. The man who was in the small boat was very nervous and not nice. But I am still happy that we went there! It was amazing inside!
Barbara B??zov? — Google review
The most mesmerizing moment!....the piloys of each boat sing opera when about to enter, which has to be done carefully because of the tides, you could bang your head entering the cave.....the most astonishing color shines everywhere once in the grotto, leaving you with a truly marvelous feeling, its a blue I have never seen before! Beautiful!

Very bad experience; I don't wish it on anyone. We arrived in front of the grotto and were to be picked up in the small boats of 4-5 people. My wife got into the boat first. She placed her phone to our sun 13-year-old who was about to board the boat.
When the child wanted to get into the boat; the boatman told him to let me hold the phone. The child climbed into the boat and when I followed to get down in the small boat; the boatman told me to give him the phone for him to hold. I gave him the phone and I didn't even have time to get off because he threw the phone behind him into the water. I couldn't believe what I was seeing! I felt like jumping into the water after my wife phone; but my phone was in my pocket and I didn't want to risk destroying my phone myself.
apart from apologies and ,, i'm sorry for your fon sir..... Nothing. Everything continued according to the itinerary as if nothing had happened.
The boatman did us the honor of entering the grotto (approx. 18 euros for all 3), but that didn't warm me up at all. I wanted to jump into the water after the phone but he told me that the water is 30m deep and I have no chance to find the phone.
Now think about it too. All reservations; all contacts; everything was in that phone. We were going to stay in Italy for another 10 days and travel to Pompeii; Rome, Pisa.....
That boatman destroy our holiday
After returning to the port of Capri; I went to a bar; then I went to the Carabinieri to make a complaint about this incident. Carabinieri were grade 10; they called an English translator and in less than 20 minutes the boatman who had thrown (dropped) our phone into the water also appeared.
I say this because I do not want to accuse him unjustly; but I have the sense of an honest man and in this boatman I felt only a weak actor who interprets this line without any empathy "I'm sorry for your telephone sir" I told him that I don't understand why he wanted to turn with the phone to the right; when I was in front of him and he had to hand me the phone. He replied that he wanted to give it to my wife who was in the front of the boat.
I don't say anything anymore; but I'm very interested if anyone has had the same situation in the past, because that explains a lot then.

Honest Review — Google review
Blue cave, Capri.
Mentioned it as „one of the most gamous caves in the world“ (Marco Polo Guide), i had really expected to see something quiet impressive. But the visit at the blue cave was a waste of energy, money and time. This has - most of all- to do with the fact, that our guide was a rip off and very unsymphatic. First: he put all attention on the other three girls on the boat and was very careless about my girlfriend, sat almost on her hand and if she would not have cared, she’ d probably gotten a row stick in her face, second: we paid the 14 Euro entrance and the first thing the unfriendly rowing man made clear: this is exclusive service. I said: but i pay allready 14 for the entrance, wich „service“ are you talking about? „Oh, this is for my towing and singing“ he said.
So to be honest: this yelling around and singing one minute later in the cave was totally absurd, not fitting and in my eyes, disturbing enorousely. Especially cause the other „capitains“ also sang around in the same cave, misstonic, loud, rough, disturbing.
Was i asked for if i‘d wish that? No. Not at all. At the end, even the cave on itself is pretty nice, but really nothing special - if you travel around a little bit and have seen other really impressive things. And: its short. You enter - you leave. Its a really short thing, not a long channel you pass along and things to be discovered. Its just nice to see the light coming from down outside into the cave under water - thats it.
Soooo....
For what exactly did we pay 14 bugs per Person for entrance? This is a rip off, since there is not even a light installation or something that gives me a feeling of a value on the other side (management)....its just costs for a bit nature.
The guy was a disaster. Unfriendly, loud, rough, not even singing nice, horrible yelling around in a cave, that would be 100 times nicer without that „service“.
I would not recommend that tour to anybody, but: i reccomend the tour to the other side of the island, where you see the beautiful cliffs and nature wich is totally worth time and money, id say: even a must seen on a trip to capri.
The same i can say about the cozy chairlift, that goes from Anacapri to Monte Salaro. It was a spectacular view up there and all in one, it was a great round trip of half of a day.

It is beautiful for a few minutes.
However be prepared to pay 15€ per person to get in. And the ticket I got it’s showing €4 😂😂😂, so that’s mean you will pay €11 on top.
They will also ask for tips.
It is sad sometime people use the attractions area to rip off tourists.
Ling Yu — Google review
Stunning location, but a total rip-off and tourist trap. Tickets cost €18 per person, but the physical ticket they give you has €6 written on it… Not to mention the fact that some of the boat drivers except a generous tip for a 5 minute paddle round a cave. Bear in mind that in Europe, tipping is absolutely optional, and is generally reserved for exceptional service! The two stars are for the gorgeous grotto, and for our boat driver, who unlike others, did not demand a specific amount from us. Also, I would suggest visiting before 9:30am, otherwise be prepared for a long wait in the sun.
Daniela Formosa — Google review
It’s beautiful BUT it’s a bit of a scam in terms of costs… 23 euros per person just to get there in a bigger boat… then 18 euros per person cave entrance fee THEN you also need to pay the poor rower who takes you into the cave. So you end up paying almost 200 Euros for a family of 4!!! And given the experience of the cave lasts 5-10 minutes it’s an expensive activity!

We almost didn't get to go. It was windy and getting windier. We were on the last boat for that day. It was only a little after noon.
You can catch a boat, several companies there, from the harbor in Capri.
When our boat full of passengers was done, the boatmen began packing back towards town. We ferried some of them back to the marina. See photos for that post of the adventure!!!
I'm so glad we took the chance and went for that boat ride. It was INCREDIBLE! The ride, the waves, the boatmen willing to head into the Grotto. The senior boatman guiding and directing each small boat based on the wave action. It was a bucket list item. The adventure, beauty, and being serenaded by the boatmen in the giant cave was so fabulous!!!!
If you're there, GO!!!!

My daughter and I absolutely loved visiting the Blue Grotto in Capri Italy. You can catch a boat from the Capri harbor. The boat doesn't just take you to the grotto but for a nice trip around the islands before getting to the Blue Grotto. It's a great way to see everything from the water.

We came here by boat on our tour. The views are amazing inside the grotto. The boat workers sang as well. I think it's a nice experience.
The grotto is run independently by a small group and prices vary based on how quick you want to get into the grotto. Our skipper negotiated the "tip" on our behalf so I would suggest the same.

If you go to Italy, make sure you stop at Capri/AnaCapri. The Blue Grotto experience was short but a good experience. The wait times were really long, but it was worth it. Also note that things are typically more expensive on the island.

It's a tourist trap. Price completely disproportionate to the activity. 23€ for the boat to take you to and back the grotto (5 minute). Entrance price is completely random, you can see prices in the ticket being overwritten with a pen (we paid 12 that day, the ticket said 11) plus you need to tip the rower, who is insistently and disrespectfully pushing you to pay him.

The mountain peak Monte Solaro is located in the middle of Capri and offers stunning views of the Gulf of Naples. The hike up to the peak is a strenuous but rewarding experience, with many opportunities to spot wildlife such as falcons and whales.
Very beautifull view. We went there by foot but you can also use chairlift.

Hermosas vistas de toda la isla. Se puede llegar en telesilla o caminando. Mi experiencia fue caminando, pasando primero por Cetrella para después subir hasta Monte Solaro. Las vistas desde ese tramo del camino son sin dudas las mejores. Monte Solaro en sí está muy descuidado, el restaurant tiene precios muy altos, los baños no están muy limpios y se llena de gente. Lo que más recomiendo es hacer Cetrella, mucho menos concurrido e inmerso totalmente en la naturaleza.
(Translated by Google)
Beautiful views of the entire island. It can be reached by chairlift or on foot. My experience was walking, first passing through Cetrella and then going up to Monte Solaro. The views from that section of the road are undoubtedly the best. Monte Solaro itself is very neglected, the restaurant has very high prices, the bathrooms are not very clean and it gets crowded. What I recommend the most is to do Cetrella, much less crowded and totally immersed in nature.

A must if you go to Capri island! You can go by walk or by the chairlift, but I strongly recommend the chairlift :)

Great views but a lot of tourists even in the beginning of the season. Took us almost 3 hours from the Capri porte to the summit and quite expensive, cheapest way up will cost about 23 euros per person.
As for the location itself it's astounding and gives you panoramic view of the island and bay of Naples with a great view of Vizuvio volcano above Pompei

Wonderful views of Capri. Chair lift is fun and only takes 8 mins or so. Reasonably priced.

Highly recommend place. If you’re staying at Capri, you can take a bus to Anacapri. It costed us 4.2 euro for round trip ticket. The frequency was every 10 minutes. Then you stop at the center of Anacapri and go to the chairlift by foot for few meters. The view and the tranquility during the way up is priceless.

Bright blue water creates a green reflection on the walls of this scenic sea cave, a popular site.
Pure beauty. The water is exceptionally clear and reflects a blue color. The only way to view is on a boat around the island of Capri. We rented a small yacht in which a the Skipper brought us very close resulting in tremendous snapshots and promising memories

Grotta Verde in Sorrento is a natural marvel. This picturesque cave, known for its vibrant emerald waters and unique formations, provides a captivating subterranean experience. A must-visit for adventurers and nature enthusiasts looking to explore the hidden wonders beneath the Sorrento coastline.

We had a private boat tour with the skipper around the island and it was the best spent money in this island. All day tour with local skipper who will take you to hidden, non- touristic places, like over crowded and overrated Blue Grotto. If you a swimmer, then definitely get the private boat tour so you can explore other blue grottos around the island which are hidden from tourists and are open and free.

Incredible! The best way to visit the grotto and really enjoy the time there (swim or something) you can hire a private boat. May not be that cheap but if you go with 5 or 6 people it's worth it (120-150 € for 2:30 hours)

Just... Stunning. Equally as beautiful as The blue grotto, in my opinion, but less touristy, so you have the time to enjoy it a bit more.

Beautiful Capri island, and the Grotta Verde is very beautiful. If you should get a chance to see the Grotta Verde, you should. It is worth the trip. My poor mother had wanted to see Capri for years. Especially the Grotta Verde. My poor mum got boat sick / motion sick on the little boat that took us to see the Grotta Verde. Something that had never happened before. Poor love!!! 💖💖💖
