Castello Maniace

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Castello Maniace is a 13th-century military fortress located in Syracuse, Sicily. It boasts grand stone walls, circular towers, and stunning views of the sea. Built during the Swabian domination in Sicily, this historical gem overlooks the fortified island of Ortygia and stands as a testament to the power of its time. The castle is named after George Maniace, a Byzantine General who opposed Arab invasion in 1038.
Loved visiting this fascinating place. We purchased tickets at the gate and there was no wait. The history of it was amazing and we found we could walk around easily to access everything. There are some great views when you climb up as well. Recommended
Ruth R — Google review
Was a cool castle to have a walk around. Lacked information though...there was a QR code to scan which displayed a website but even that info was lacking. A few little signs explaining some of the history and architecture would be helpful, and make it way more interesting....therefore 4 stars. 6 Euro entry is pretty cheap and we had to by a 4 Euro ticket to the art exhibition, which was actually quite good, and nice respite in the aircon after sweating around the castle. There's a free toilet once you have entered the castle. Worth a look
Jez B — Google review
Castello Maniace is a beautiful place, and visiting around sunset is truly magical — the golden light makes the castle and surrounding views even more stunning. Nearby, you can also explore the angel wing sculptures, which add a whimsical touch to the visit. Just be mindful of the castle’s opening hours so you don’t arrive when it’s closed. A perfect spot for photos, a peaceful stroll, and soaking in the history and atmosphere of Siracusa.
Bel Z — Google review
If you’re in Ortigia and you don’t visit Castello Maniace, you’re missing out on one of the most striking, cinematic corners of Sicily. Sitting right at the tip of the island, this fortress feels less like a tourist stop and more like a portal to another century—one lined with sea spray, swallows, and stone. We went on a warm afternoon in June, and although the sun was strong, there was a sea breeze that made it surprisingly bearable. That said: go early or later in the day if you’re sun-sensitive. There’s not much shade inside, but the views and architecture make it worth every step. What makes this place so special is the mix of raw medieval grandeur and calm seaside quiet. We wandered the bastions with views of deep blue water stretching endlessly, peeked through arrow slits that once guarded the coastline, and admired the vaulted ceilings still standing strong centuries later. Even without extensive signage, the sense of history is everywhere. And honestly? Just being inside those thick stone walls, with the sound of the waves echoing through the halls, is enough to make you feel like you’re walking through a forgotten story. Tickets are €6 (cheaper if you’re under 25), and for that price, it’s a steal. You get full access to roam freely at your own pace—and unlike many historical sites, it feels refreshingly un-commercial. No souvenir stands, no tour buses, just history, stone, sea, and sky. Would I go again? 100%. Especially at golden hour, when the light hits the sea and the castle walls glow like honey.
Sophietju — Google review
We only viewed Castello Maniace from the outside, but it’s definitely a landmark worth seeing when you’re in Siracusa. The location at the tip of the island is stunning and gives you a real sense of the city’s history. Even without going inside, it’s an impressive sight!
Sven W — Google review
In my opinion, the place has been changed, demolished and rebuilt so many times that it is unlikely to satisfy visitors looking for authentic preserved architecture. On the other hand, in my opinion, it is a place where you can take very good photos - the many windows with views of the sea and the panoramic view from the roof are worth it. When we were there, there was also an exhibition of originals by classical impressionists, which was also interesting. However, I cannot give a maximum rating because of the little context for the era that the surviving remains provide.
Dimcho N — Google review
Anyone in Syracuse should also visit the Castello. Currently, admission is €10, as there's an Impressionist exhibition on the grounds. But the historic Castello is also fascinating: the large cathedral, the long corridors, and the view of the sea from the top.

Fantastic views from the ramparts but could do with more information or an audio guide. Last entry at 15:45 and closes at 16:30.

Bar Vitelli

$$$$affordable
Bar
Cafe
Bar Vitelli, located in the charming village of Savoca, gained fame for its appearance in The Godfather. The iconic doorway and classic rattan chairs transport visitors to the famous film scene. The bar is now a popular tourist attraction filled with memorabilia from the movie. Nearby, Chiesa di San Nicolo hosts another famous scene from the film, attracting many tourists.
A truly iconic experience! Bar Vitelli, located in the charming town of Savoca, offers not only a refreshing break but a step into cinematic history. The atmosphere is absolutely wonderful peaceful, authentic, and full of character. Being at the famous Godfather filming location made the visit even more special. You can feel the soul of the movie in every corner, while enjoying a drink on the terrace overlooking the picturesque streets. Highly recommended, it was a memorable moment for us and a must-visit if you’re in Sicily!

This iconic cafe where Godfather 1 was also filmed at is a real must-go if you happen to be staying at the eastern part of Sicily. Great vibe, great food, pastries and coffees. It was a memorable time for me going there
Arezoo R — Google review
Visiting Bar Vitelli felt like stepping into a slice of film history. This small café-bar in the village of Savoca is famous for being a filming location from The Godfather, and when I walked in, I could almost hear the scene of Michael Corleone asking for Apollonia’s hand. I ordered a simple coffee and sat outside on the small terrace, taking in the rustic charm of the village and the old-world vibe of the bar. The interior is adorned with photographs and memorabilia from the movie set, which definitely adds a nostalgic touch. However, I must say the experience was mixed. The setting is unique and worth it if you’re a film fan or exploring Sicily’s history, but I found the prices surprisingly high for what you get. Some reviewers mention coffees or granitas at elevated prices given the local standard. The atmosphere felt a bit staged—lots of tourists, a sense of “photo stop” more than “local hangout”. In the end, I’m glad I went—just go in with tempered expectations. The charm of Bar Vitelli is in the aura and the memory, not necessarily in gourmet quality or value. If you’re passing through Savoca, it’s a memorable stop; if you’re after the best bar experience in Sicily, you might find better local gems.
Alexandru D — Google review
Bar Vitelli is an absolute must-visit for fans of The Godfather. You come here for the history and the setting, and it delivers beautifully. The atmosphere truly transports you back to the movie—the location in Savoca is stunning, and the bar's interior is fascinating, acting like a small museum with movie memorabilia and photos. Managing Expectations: As expected for such an iconic filming location, it is highly touristy. Be prepared for elevated prices: our small cappuccino, for example, cost €7, making it the most expensive coffee we had during our entire trip to Italy. We also had a slightly awkward interaction where a waiter asked us to remove our personal, almost-empty water bottle from the table, even though we had already ordered drinks. While we accepted this as a rule for the establishment, it's a detail worth noting for future visitors. Overall, the experience is worth it for the beautiful scenery and the nostalgia it brings—it truly took us back to watching the movie in our childhood. Go for the photos and the history, but know you are paying a premium for the location.

It's a stunning place and it's really worth to visit but sadly ruined by staff which can be rude and clearly they don't enjoy what they do. Owner (i guess as he was acting like one and gave orders to everyone) guy in the glasses bit grumpy and clearly there for the money. For everyone who watched The Godfather 2 is a must visit but to warn You - it is very expensive up there. Just ice coffee which has no milk and no ice... just cold brewed coffee it's 7 euro!!! As I said place it's authentic but in the wrong hands.

Iconic place to visit. As always with these spots beer s and food are priced accordingly. The atmosphere is the thing you are paying for. Tracing the bits of the godfather that was filmed in and around the village. Savaco This is probably one of my favourite spots we visited, although it’s touristy it’s not to be missed.

Nice atmosphere 👌 worth popping in for a cup of coffee, especially if you're a fan of Godfather. We've been there begging of November 2025, not very crowded.
Daniel B — Google review
Unforgettable experience, really worth visiting. The legendary “Godfather” bar, the Savoca village and the narrow road to get there are a genuine Sicilian “must do”. Try to get a table and enjoy the best Campari Spritz in Sicily to cool down in a hot summer day. Friendly staff, a bit expensive menu, I would definitely recommend.

The Soul of Reggio - A Beautiful Walk with Epic Views. This is an absolutely amazing place for a walk along the sea. The promenade is wide and beautiful, but what makes it truly breathtaking is the stunning view of Mount Etna in the background across the strait to Sicily. The area is clearly the heartbeat of the city and is always buzzing with great energy. During our visit, it seemed like there was always something happening, from a gelato festival to live music, which added to the fantastic atmosphere. My advice is simple: take a long walk, find a good restaurant with a sea view, and just enjoy the incredible sunset and the wonderful vibes. A must-do experience when in Reggio Calabria.

The Lungomare Falcomara in Reggio Calabria is a wonderful place to visit. You can enjoy a relaxing walk along the sea with beautiful views and fresh air. In the evenings, the promenade comes alive — it’s full of people, music, and a lively atmosphere. There are plenty of benches to sit and watch the sunset, as well as cafés and gelaterias nearby. It’s a perfect spot both for a peaceful stroll during the day and for enjoying the vibrant energy of the city at night.

A very well-kept museum with beautiful pieces and interesting exhibitions that allow you to learn about Calabria's history. Needless to say, the Bronzi di Riace are a must-see.

Good thing we read about them before visiting because otherwise we wouldn’t know exactly what we were looking for.

Impressed despite I've visited Louvre, El Prado, British museum, Vatican museum etc. An unexpected gem

Really interesting explosion about other bronze statues. I felt really immersed in the atmosphere. Also at some point I was the only visitor in that room, which felt very cool.

The unique beach with white sand under the rock has ceased to exist.

A sandy beach with a crystal clear blue sea. If you need some relaxation then the public beach at Tropea will help. It has an amazing backdrop with the old town perched above on the cliffs and the church on top of the rock. There is a beach bar also which sells cold drinks and coffees etc.
John F — Google review
The beach in Tropea is undeniably beautiful and the view of the town from the shore is breathtaking. The rock formations are stunning and worth seeing, especially if you can get closer by boat which we did and it was much more enjoyable. However, the sheer number of people can be overwhelming and for me it was just too much. If you don’t mind the crowds you will probably love it but if you prefer peace and space there are plenty of other beaches nearby that are far less crowded. Because of the mass of people my rating is lower which is a shame given how beautiful this place really is.
Paweł B — Google review
A really unique beach with soft white sand tucked under the cliffs where the town of Tropea sits. The views are amazing, with dramatic cliffs all around, and there’s even a beach inside a big cave! You’ll see lots of people cliff jumping too. The water near the shore was a bit murky, but once you swim out, it’s crystal clear and beautiful. It can get super crowded during peak times and really hot since there’s not much shade—definitely bring sun protection. Still, it’s a stunning place and totally worth a visit.

View on the background of the white cliff and the sea: a great surroundings for unusual photos! In the evening you can see Stromboli volcano! I recommend this beach for all who love silence and clear sea! It is unfortunate, but at 7.30 am on April 7, 2023, part of the island fell ashore into the sea. The unique beach with white sand under the rock has ceased to exist. I hope the local authorities have enough resources to restore and strengthen the coast in this place!

Nice castle in the center of Pizzo... It's famous because brother in law of Napoleon Bonaparte was imprisoned there... Now inside you can see reproduction of that... The ticket is cheap about 3e...there is not so much people there and you not wait for long for entrance... The castle is in historic central part of this little city... From there you have so nice view... All recommendations for visit and take some nice pictures and videos if you are in Pizzo and that part of Calabria...

Personnel is incredibly rude. We arrived from another town to visit this castle and unfortunately it was closed from 1 till 3 pm (keep that in mind). We waited and when it finally opened, we couldn't buy tickets because cards were not accepted and the guy didn't have change. He was speaking very unfriendly and refused selling us tickets.

Nicely preserved castle with a small museum inside. Definitely worth the entrance fee of 2.50 EUR. Great view over the harbour.

Not worth the 5€ entrance. Most signs were only in Italian with just a few in other languages. There wasn’t much to see except for the prison cells with a few creepy looking mannequins to portray Murat and the other prisoners. Would not recommend

Church Piedigrotta

Mentioned on 
8 lists 
Sculpture museum
Sights & Landmarks
Church Piedigrotta is a unique seaside church located in Pizzo, Calabria. It was carved into the tufa rock by Neapolitan shipwreck survivors as an expression of gratitude for their survival. The church features elaborately carved figures and statues created by unknown artists, making it a remarkable example of popular religious art in southern Italy.
Well worth the visit, fascinating story and amazing achievement. Beautiful beach below with shallow waters.
Fliss H — Google review
Very nice church (5€ entry), nice sculptures, also great beach outside, with warm water and some fishes
Adam K — Google review
Have to give it a 5 star rating just because of the story behind the church and in fact its position on the beach and built into the rocks. It is not your standard church visit but you get these sculptures all in the rocks behind the church facade. Read the story behind the church from the sign, which is In Italian and English, and you will get a better understanding of its history. It is a walk down and up again, so be prepared. It is only a 10 min visit to see it all. There is as an entry charge of 5€, which can be paid by card. It is a small price to pay to ensure it continues to exist. We had no problem parking as we are traveling on bicycles 😀.

Beautiful & very interesting place to visit. Parking at the top for €5 & a stunning view on the way down (lots of steps). I think the entrance fee of €5 per adult (€3 per child) is too much. Don't forget to take your swimming things & picnic with as there is a beautiful bay at the bottom to enjoy!

River Rafting & Tubing
Nice rafting place for a family with kids from 4 yo onwards. Open even in October. The river is too calm, which can be nice for less adventurous families. The more extreme part of the river is for kids 14 yo onwards. Good 2 hour stop if you are driving from Napoli down to Tropea. Also an abandoned town up the hill is a 15 minute bike ride or 30 min walk away
Kirill S — Google review
We did the family rafting route, about an hour-long trip with our 6- and 9-year-old kids. It was a lot of fun—the place and staff were professional, welcoming, and fully equipped with everything needed to get ready. The route was suitable for children. There were a few small rapids that weren’t a problem—on the contrary, they added to the kids' sense of adventure and made it even more enjoyable.

We had a wonderful time with Lao Rafting! The staff was very friendly and professional. A cool thing was that they didn't mix the groups, so even if we were two families of three, we got our own boat and guide. We would have loved to do the long one ride, but the shorter one seem more adapted to our 4yo son. He loved the experience! . Next time well go for the long one! We also got the photos they took of us during the ride and I'm glad we did!!

Statue of Christ the Redeemer

Mentioned on 
9 lists 
Sculpture
Sights & Landmarks
Perched atop the 700-meter Corcovado mountain in Tijuca National Park, overlooking Rio de Janeiro, is the iconic Statue of Christ the Redeemer. This 21-meter marble statue, built in 1965 by artist Bruno Innocenti, has become a symbol of Christianity and a cultural icon of Brazil. Its arms are outstretched as if embracing and protecting the city. The journey to this landmark involves a winding road but rewards visitors with breathtaking views of the coastline and surrounding countryside.
Beautiful panoramic views! A short walk from the parking area behind the church to get to the statue. There are some stairs required to reach the base of the statue but there are benches in front of the church so even if you are unable to walk the steps, it is still possible to enjoy the magnificence of the statue and surrounding views.

Quite an amazing representation of of The Christ, welcoming all people and leading fishers back to safe shores. Beautiful views of land, sand, and sea.

For the hikers out there. Google maps might recommend you to take the road, but there is a walkable path up there. The path rail is broken in a few places but the path is wide. Scary but somewhat safe (I'm the chicken here, my wife was fine). We crossed a mountain biker coming down.

Spiaggia del Buon Dormire

Beach
Outdoor Activities
Spiaggia del Buon Dormire is a secluded beach nestled in a cove, offering clear waters and stunning cliff views. Accessible by footpath or boat, it's considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Italy and an unspoiled natural oasis. Visitors are advised to arrive early due to limited space and to enjoy the afternoon sun as it sets behind the rocks.
One of the Best beaches in the nearby, breathtaking cliffs, but a Little bit busy with the Cruise boats arriving with tourists
Kamila P — Google review
MUST READ BEFORE DRIVING HERE: Seems like this beach is no longer accessible by car/foot and that you can only swim or take a boat/kayak from the nearby official beach. However, maybe there is another way (other than what Google maps suggests). If you have time time and you feel like trying, continue down the nearby road calledVia Buon Dormire. If you look at the satellite version of Maps you can see this road connects to the road that is blocked by a huge gate. If that's the case, maybe there is still a way down there. I'd you find it - please update the reviews! At the water in front of the beach there are some yachts that arrive here as well, probably because it's more secluded and less accessible. So, if you simply want any beach and are not looking for too many adventures, try the one nearby which also requires a little going down by foot but it has many facilities. I hope it helps 🙏 Enjoy!

(Translated by Google) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A true paradise in the heart of Cilento! The Bay of Good Sleep in Palinuro is one of those places that stays in your heart forever. A hidden and pristine corner, surrounded by lush and wild nature that offers breathtaking views in every direction. The sea is indescribable: crystalline waters ranging from turquoise to deep blue, as clear as a natural pool. Swimming here is a unique experience; it truly feels like being suspended between sea and sky. The beach, with its golden sand and rocks gently sloping into the water, offers an atmosphere of peace and tranquility, far from the chaos and mass tourism. It's the ideal place to relax, sunbathe, and be lulled by the sound of the waves. Reaching it requires a little effort, whether on foot via a path or by sea with a boat, but I assure you it's absolutely worth it. Indeed, this very "difficulty" makes it even more precious, as it manages to retain all its authenticity. I recommend anyone visiting Palinuro not to miss this wonder. It's a place that regenerates the soul, where you can reconnect with the beauty of nature at its most authentic. I will undoubtedly return whenever I have the chance. A 5-star experience, without a doubt! (Original) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Un vero paradiso nel cuore del Cilento! La Baia del Buon Dormire a Palinuro è uno di quei posti che ti restano nel cuore per sempre. Un angolo nascosto e incontaminato, circondato da una natura rigogliosa e selvaggia che regala scorci mozzafiato in ogni direzione. Il mare è qualcosa di indescrivibile: acque cristalline che vanno dal turchese al blu intenso, limpide come una piscina naturale. Nuotare qui è un’esperienza unica, sembra davvero di essere sospesi tra cielo e mare. La spiaggia, con la sua sabbia dorata e le rocce che si immergono dolcemente nell’acqua, offre un’atmosfera di pace e tranquillità, lontano dal caos e dal turismo di massa. È il luogo ideale per rilassarsi, prendere il sole e lasciarsi cullare dal suono delle onde. Raggiungerla richiede un piccolo sforzo, che sia a piedi tramite un sentiero o via mare con una barca, ma vi assicuro che ne vale assolutamente la pena. Anzi, proprio questa “difficoltà” la rende ancora più preziosa, perché riesce a mantenere intatta tutta la sua autenticità. Consiglio a chiunque visiti Palinuro di non perdersi questa meraviglia. È un luogo che rigenera l’anima, dove ci si riconnette con la bellezza della natura più autentica. Ci tornerò senza dubbio ogni volta che ne avrò la possibilità. Un’esperienza da 5 stelle, senza alcun dubbio!

Cape Palinuro is a breathtakingly beautiful and historic landmark with stunning ocean views, sea caves, and a towering lighthouse standing at 230 feet.

There is also a walking route of 13.5 km which must be very beautiful but it was too hot for it. Will definitely come back for it.

Certosa of Saint Lawrence

Mentioned on

Monastery
Sights & Landmarks
Certosa of Saint Lawrence is a vast monastery complex dating back to 1306, commissioned by Tommaso di San Severino and dedicated to Saint Lawrence. The structure mainly reflects the Baroque style due to important restoration and extension works in the mid-16th century. Despite initial skepticism, visitors find themselves captivated by the site's architectural and religious marvels, from its cloisters and fountains to its well-preserved rooms.
It is a shame such a beautiful place is so badly connected to anywhere. We drove all the way here on our road trip, it’s definitely worth a visit if you are around but too much hassle if not.

Awesome monastery in the town of Padula in Salerno province. It's a standing evidence of remarkable architecture. It's huge and spread across thousands of square meter area. It also encompasses a history artifact museum where artifacts from 2nd century B.C. are put on display. These artifacts were discovered from near by areas like sala consilina during excavation around 1950s. The town and the view along with this monastery is also remarkable. The town is located on the downhill and provides a picturesque view when viewed from the bottom of the hill and also the monastery which is located at the bottom of the hill and the beginning of the town. If you are in this region and you are looking for an interesting place to visit, this must be in your list.

The Certosa di San Lorenzo is the biggest cartheuse in the world. Inside, you first get introduced to monastery life by a walk through the cellars where you see multiple video sequences explaining everything you need to know. Afterwards, entering the main monastery, you get greeted by the first of three cloisters. Through the church, kitchens, meeting rooms and chapels, it all leads up to the highlight of the visit, the monumental cloister, which is bigger than a football field. Throughout the cartheuse, there are many interesting artworks and stone cuttings for the people who care. Overall, the Certosa is a must visit if you are in the region.
Constantin J — Google review
A beautiful place that we visited in about two hours! All spectacular from the quiet cloister, the library with the floor covered with Vietri sul Mare ceramic tiles, the church decorated with precious marble, the large kitchen, the spiral staircase, the Sala delle Campane, of the Chapter and the Treasury, the various Chapels, the largest Cloister in the world with the Carthusian Cells really a marvel !!! Despite its majesty and beauty, the place has lost that mystical and sacred dimension typical of religious places. There is a large outdoor parking cost € 3.00. In the courtyard you can admire the beautiful seventeenth-century façade in Baroque style where there is the ticket office together with the bookshop point, which is usually located at the end of the route. We wanted to buy a little book but finished in Italian language! Besides the fact that it is a unique place and therefore absolutely to visit but it could really does much more!

Also known as the angel flight, this high-speed zip line starts from a hill near the village and connects over the valley with neighboring Pietrapertosa. Despite some challenges with accessibility and limited services, visitors praise the breathtaking views and friendly staff.
Beautiful Italian hilltop village. Certainly worth the effort to visit this area. Like a mini Alpine region,

This was amazing! Can’t recommend this enough, you ‘fly’ across the ravine, spectacular views, such an exhilarating experience (and I don’t even like heights!) The staff were so kind and helpful, organising Go Pro (€20) and there were photos too (€8) and they even took some on my phone before we ‘took off’! (take cash as it’s easier for the team)

Don’t miss this thrill! What a rush! Transform yourself to Superman for a couple of minutes with incredible views! Highly recommend. A bit of a language barrier if you don’t speak Italian, but they tried very hard!

Amazing zipline, really does feel like flying! You have to go to the ticket office in town first so go here rather than the other locations which are the launch sites. Very steep path up to the launch site although there's a bus that takes you most of the way. Price is very reasonable.

Unforgettable experience practiced several times. Really breathtaking .. everything is located in an incredibly small but breathtaking village. I recommend everyone even a visit to the place !!!

The zip line experience was great. The village itself is beautiful I do recommend this activity, however the ladies at the ticket zip line reception was incredibly rude. No good communication and rubbish customer service. We came 2 hours early to the check-inn as we was already in the area because we had taken part in another activity. We wanted to see if there was availability for another ticket. Anyone with common sense would know that the reason we went early to the check-inn was because if we went later we would risk there being no tickets left. They made us wait several minutes outside with no updates and told us we had to come back at the time of our booking to see if there was any spare tickets which is quite stupid as if we came later we would risk others taking any tickets that were left. As we was still waiting outside and being rudely spoken to they allowed a family of 3 with no tickets to go in before us even though we was there before them. At this point we went back in and told them this was ridiculous and unacceptable in which case one of the women decided to argue with us that we was wrong for coming early to get an extra ticket and told us that if we wanted to come 2 hours in advance for a spare ticket we might aswell have come a whole day before?! And that “you should just have booked it online”. Who is she to tell me how to book my tickets. In fact we did try to book another last minute ticket however the site kept crashing and if booking tickets online was the case then she could have told the family of 3 to also book online. What a cheeky cheeky women speaking to customers in such a way.

This was so much fun and could not have been more beautiful. We appreciated the relaxed pace and even enjoyed the 25min hike to the first zipline.
Julia K — Google review
Amazing experience! We truly recommed this flight! The stuff is very kind and highly professional. After you buy your flight online, you come to the Castelmezzano village to the ticket office - Biglietteria. You have to meet the weight requirements, so they measure your weight. Then you go to the parking place in front of tourist info point and wait for the shuttle bus. Bus takes you as high as the road goes, then you walk about 20 minutes further high the path to the Castelmezzano starting station. You fly to the other hill, near Pietrapertosa. Other bus takes you to Pietrapertosa and after cca 10 minutes walk you reach another starting point and you fly back to Castelmezzano. All this is included in price you pay when you book the flight. Pictures from your flight can be purchased after first flight and you can rent GoPro camera at the first starting point. After both flights you get memory card with videos from both of your flights. We had 2x couple flights with our childrens 13 and 10 years old, it was fantastic, the stuff works precisely with all safety precautions. Once more many thanks, when in Basilicata, we will come back again!!! 👍👍👍😉

Archaeological Park of Paestum

Mentioned on 
40 lists 
Archaeological museum
Museums
The Archaeological Park of Paestum is a captivating complex featuring ancient temples dedicated to Hera, Athena, and Neptune, along with an amphitheater and a museum. This archaeological area was once the heart of the city, housing not only renowned temples but also the agora, the city's founding tomb, streets, baths, fountains, and meeting places for both Greeks and Romans. The Roman amphitheater is uniquely divided by Highway 18.
Magnificent well preserved Greek temples. There's an app called Paestum & Velia that explains the ancient site. Definitely download it before you visit as it helps you understand the ruins. The ticket was €15 for adults but under 18 was free. We loved being able to explore the area and absorb the history. We went on a weekday late in the afternoon so it was not too busy. Definitely worth a visit!
T E — Google review
I love ancient sites, I've been lucky enough to see plenty of these throughout the countries around the Med. But this Paestum one, it's really something! The park is so beautiful with majestic trees everywhere, its roman ruins and, obviously, those breathtaking ancient greek temples of Hera and Athena. If you're a history enthusiast, you can't miss that one!
Cedric M — Google review
Sublime ancient greek temples (better than most you can find in greece). Absolutely no crowds on a sunny november afternoon. Unmatched vibes.
Michele F — Google review
This archaeological park is a true treasure—beautifully preserved and impressively expansive. Its size means you can explore at your own pace without feeling overwhelmed by crowds, a refreshing contrast to more tourist-heavy sites. While getting there isn't the easiest journey, the reward is well worth the effort. The peaceful atmosphere and rich historical significance make it an unforgettable experience for anyone with a passion for the past.

Beautifully maintained. I’d highly recommend going here if you’re into architecture and archaeology. Fascinating. Good food stops nearby too. Great parking within steps of the museum. 3 euro lot.
Rebecca W — Google review
Hard to put into words. If you’re a history lover, Paestum is a must. The ancient Greek temples are breathtaking, and walking through the ruins feels like stepping back in time. It’s peaceful, fascinating, and well worth the visit. You should also visit the nearby Museum as part of the tour, it’s fascinating.
Abe H — Google review
We loved this stop, came here on an excursion from our cruise ship that docked in Salerno. Great ruins, fascinating. Greek & Roman ruins. Hot in the sun, bring water, not much shade while walking the ruins. Wayside signs explained what you were looking at in English.
Daniel A — Google review
***CLOSED ON MONDAYS FROM 20 OCTOBER TO 15 DECEMBER*** I would like to give 1 star because they do not have this information anywhere on the website. I returned on a different day and had a great visit hence the 3/5. Dozens of tourists (myself included) arrived on a Monday and had no choice but to leave disappointed. It’s incredibly disrespectful to those that come from all over the world to see this beautiful piece of cultural heritage. —— Easily accessible by train from Naples. The Paestum train station is a 10 minute walk away. Also easily accessed by car. Your ticket includes access to the archeological museum (across the street) and to the archeological site of Velia (45 km south). This archeological site is incredible. It’s not overrun with tourists and the temples are very well preserved. There are plaques and signs with explanations in Italian and English. The park has two entrances, but only one of them sells tickets and had a gift shop. If you want to enter via the other entrance, you will be told to purchase your ticket at the museum. A truly special place that is a must see when visiting the region.

Temple of Athena

Mentioned on 
30 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Ancient Ruins
The Temple of Athena is an ancient site dating back to 500 BCE, known for its extensive ruins and natural surroundings perfect for leisurely walks. In the early twentieth century, scholars and archaeologists conducted excavations in the area, uncovering various structures such as the Temple of Peace, comitium, Porta Marina street, and amphitheater.
If you're anywhere near Paestum and don’t stop to see the Temple of Athena, you’re seriously missing out. Nestled between two larger and more famous temples (Hera and Neptune), this smaller Doric treasure is a gem in its own right, and honestly, a standout for me. Built around 500 BCE, it blends Doric and Ionic elements, showing a transition in architectural style that gives it a unique personality. It's not just a ruin, it's a moment in time, frozen in stone, where you can feel the ambition of early Magna Graecia. The structure is remarkably well-preserved, and walking around it, you get this electric sense of ancient artistry and balance. Even after centuries, its proportions still feel elegant and intentional. What I especially loved was how the Temple of Athena rises slightly on higher ground, almost like she’s still keeping watch. It’s not overrun with tourists (unlike some other famous sites), so you can take your time and soak in the atmosphere. That peaceful weight of history, mixed with warm southern Italian light? Unforgettable. In short: majestic, understated, and totally worth the visit. Whether you’re into history, architecture, or just want a sacred pause in your day, this temple delive
Gabriella S — Google review
Inside the park so kinda weird that there’s a separate Google listing for each temple when you pay once to visit them all. Plus, how would you rate one temple fewer stars than the others? They’re all over 2,000 years old still standing! I’m struck by how perfectly level and straight the columns and flooring blocks are. Shows fantastic engineering and planning and site prep.
Jason B — Google review
Don't miss Paestum. We arrived just as they closed the gates, but the views from outside the fences were so good we almost didn't go back the next morning. What a mistake that would have been. Upclose access to wellpreserved temples, and acres of tumbled ruins of lesser homes and palaces.
Tim G — Google review
We got free entry as it was a national Republic day then. The temple complex is huge. The archaeology remains appear much grand than in pictures. However still in good shape particularly the temple of Neptune. I would suggest to buy a booklet giving information and it has nice illustrations about how this place must have looked in its heydays. Nice break from crowded tourists spots along amalfi coast
Vishal S — Google review
A very impressive archeological park that we stumbled upon whilst motor biking from Diamanté to Salerno. Well worth the €15 ticket - the park is well maintained and well organised. Plenty of parking available and some nearby food options. It’s ideal to park at the exit, closer to Temple of Athena, and walk up to the entrance. Allow at least one hour, more if you visit the museum which is included in the ticket price.
Bec C — Google review
This place is far more interesting than you expect. We were here for about 3 hours. The museum is informative. Once you are on the actual site it seems wrong to be able to walk all over the sites of the buildings. Beautiful mosaics are left open to the elements. Some visual representation of what the buildings may have looked like would have been useful. Excellent value for money. Signage around the site is poor though

Caverns & Caves
Pertosa-Auletta Grotte, located in Italy, is a must-visit destination for those who love exploring underground wonders. These limestone caves and tunnels are among the largest in the country and offer a unique experience. Visitors can take a boat tour through an underground river, surrounded by magnificent rock formations and the sound of roaring waterfalls. The caves stretch over 3 kilometers and boast impressive stalactites and stalagmites, creating a mesmerizing natural spectacle.
Spectacular place to visit, highly recommend. Audio tours available, ask when you buy tickets. Can get cold in the grotte, bring a light jacket. Mostly a walking tour, will need to walk up a hill to get to entrance but it's a beautiful grotte you are sure to enjoy!

The caves are absolutely amazing, huge caverns with stunning formations, well worth the visit! The guides however, did not impress.... We could not understand any of the information, not being fluent in Italian...they made no effort to find out if we could understand... Also seemed very rude when communicating instructions and directions... Very disappointing!

Beautiful stalactite cave. If you drive between airports in rome or naples and calabria, then this is a nice midpoint place to rest 1 hour. If you can time it with the guided tours. What is special about this cave is you enter the cave by boat. At first we was a bit disappointed, the first half was not beautiful but then the cave became amazing and the last half was full of Stalactites and stalagmites. We like this cave.

Impressive place and a lot of history here. 5 euro for parking, 18 euro for an adult and 13 euro 6-15 yrs. Family tickets available. There is a new tour once pr. Hour. Italien guide. If you’re only English speaking you can for 1 euro buy an audio guide. Around one hour tour first by boat and then walking. Bring a coat or long sleeves. You can pay by card for tickets. If you want something to drink afterwards in the bar only cash here.

Cascata Acquabianca Waterfalls

Temporarily Closed
Nature & Parks
Nature & Wildlife Areas
Very unclear as to where you can actually “purchase the tickets”. It never used to be this way, you used to pay the guy at the entrance. Otherwise it’s great, a very short hike (20 minutes each way easily) suitable for children/younger kids too which is nice. Opening hours on Google maps say 24 hours which is also incorrect as the gates are shut sometimes.

(Translated by Google) There is no ticket office or information point on site, to get some information on tickets you have to go to the town of Senerchia several kilometers away and then discover that the park is... closed. We decided to go in anyway considering that we could easily access it via a side street and that there were already several people inside. The place is enchanting, wonderful. A very easy route, suitable for anyone, practically a walk. (Original) Sul posto non c'è una biglietteria ne un punto informazioni, per avere qualche notizia sui biglietti bisogna recarsi al paese di senerchia a svariati chilometri per poi scoprire che il parco è... chiuso. Abbiamo deciso di entrare comunque considerato che tramite una stradina laterale ci si accedeva agilmente e che all'interno c'erano già diverse persone. Il luogo è incantevole, meraviglioso. Un percorso facilissimo, adatto a chiunque, praticamente una passeggiata.
Marco R — Google review
(Translated by Google) The Senerchia waterfalls (AV) are located within the "Natural Oasis of the Hunting Valley" and can be reached by following a path of approximately one kilometre. The route is quite easy, you go along the Acquabianca stream, you cross it a few times on wooden bridges until you reach the waterfall, about twenty meters high. The oasis is a splendid example of uncontaminated nature, and is home to various species of animals and plants. It is preferable to wear trekking shoes; to access you need to buy an entrance ticket up in the town, near the bar. (Original) Le cascate di Senerchia (AV) si trovano all'interno dell'“Oasi naturale valle della caccia” e si raggiungono percorrendo un sentiero di circa un km. Il percorso è abbastanza agevole, si costeggia il torrente Acquabianca, lo si attraversa alcune volte su ponticelli in legno fino a raggiungere il salto d’acqua, alto circa venti metri. L’oasi è uno splendido esempio di natura incontaminata, e ospita diverse specie di animali e vegetali. È preferibile indossare scarpe da trekking; per accedere è necessario acquistare un biglietto d’ingresso su nel paese, nei pressi del bar.
Fiorentino S — Google review
(Translated by Google) Stunning place but poorly advertised and poorly maintained. The ticket office is not on site but in the town, about 3 or 4 km away (absurd), and someone has thought of an inefficient and bizarre signage system which directs visitors towards the town center and confuses them. Even Google Maps is packed and it's not at all intuitive to get there... The access road is narrow and poorly maintained, the parking is for cars only. Such beautiful places elsewhere would be valued properly... (Original) Posto stupendo ma poco pubblicizzato e tenuto in modo pessimo. La biglietteria non è sul posto ma in paese, distante circa 3 o 4 km (assurdo), e qualcuno ha pensato ad un inefficiente sistema segnaletico, peraltro cervellotico, che indirizza i visitatori verso il centro abitato confondendoli. Anche Google Maps si imballa e non è per niente intuitivo arrivarci... La strada di accesso è stretta e poco manutenzionata, il parcheggio è per solo auto. Posti così belli altrove sarebbero valorizzati come si deve...
Marco G — Google review
(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place, at times even fairytale-like. The ticket can be purchased in the village, now €6 and from there there is a shuttle (half an hour round trip), all to avoid too many cars near the oasis, even if the parking is not exactly small.. . The coolness and temperature of the water provide consolation from the sticky heat of the period; unfortunately there are not many comfortable places to stay for long and not even many welcoming wooden benches; it is strictly forbidden to consume meals, something that is not stated in the reviews, but very important, because you have to adjust the time of the visit at this point, also because the picnic area outside the oasis is really very small (two tables and very few benches) and very uncomfortable, on a slope: in short, you go for a pure and simple walk, nothing else and the route is unique and delimited for everyone, you cannot get lost or choose alternative paths, because they are closed. At the moment the oasis is only open on Sundays, it is not known whether they will decide, given the high turnout, to remain open on Saturdays too, it is best to find out before leaving. Comfortable shoes are advisable, perhaps even rock shoes. (Original) Posto molto bello,a tratti addirittura fiabesco. Il biglietto si acquista in paese,ora 6€ e da lì c'è la navetta(mezz'ora tra andata e ritorno),il tutto per evitare troppe auto in prossimità dell'oasi,anche se il parcheggio non è proprio piccolissimo... La frescura e la temperatura dell'acqua consolano dal caldo appiccicoso del periodo;purtroppo non ci sono molti posti comodi dove sostare a lungo e neanche tantissime accoglienti panchine in legno;è severamente proibito consumare pasti,cosa che non si legge nelle recensioni,ma molto importante, perchè bisogna regolarsi sull'orario della visita,a questo punto,anche perchè l'area picnic al di fuori dell'oasi è davvero molto piccola (due tavoli e pochissime panchine) e molto scomoda,in pendenza: insomma,si va per una pura e semplice passeggiata,non altro e il percorso è unico e delimitato per tutti,non ci si può perdere,nè scegliere sentieri alternativi,perchè preclusi. Al momento l'oasi è aperta solo di domenica,non si sa se decideranno,data l'alta affluenza,di restare aperti anche il sabato, conviene informarsi prima di partire. Consigliabili scarpe comode, magari anche scarpette da scoglio.
Maria N — Google review
(Translated by Google) Beautiful place to walk to the bottom, where there is the big waterfall. On a route looked after by the WWF, made up of wooden bridges and ropes, gravel and rock paths, immersed in wild but well-kept vegetation. The sense of inner concentration and peace that the many waterfalls give and the sweet sound of the stream that starts from the waterfall to slide further down the valley is indisputable. The picnic area was off limits (uncivilized tourism?). One of the waterfalls before the largest is the one that leaves you speechless: from a large semi-round rock, covered with grass, endless streams of water flow. Ideal for getting under (water temperature permitting) and cooling off from the heat. I admit that the last kilometer of Stradina to get to the place is up and down which puts a strain on the brakes and clutch... (Original) Bellissimo luogo per camminare fino in fondo, dove c'è la cascata grande. In un percorso accudito dal WWF, fatto di ponticelli di legno e corde, sentieri di ghiaia e rocce, immersi nella vegetazione selvaggia, ma curata. Indiscutibile il senso di raccoglimento interiore e di pace che donano le tante cascatelle ed il suono dolce del ruscello che parte dalla cascata appunto per scivolare più giù a valle. L'area pic-nic era interdetta (turismo incivile?). Una delle cascate prima della piu grande è quella che lascia di stucco: da una grande roccia semitonda, ricoperta di erbetta, colano infiniti rivoli d'acqua. Ideale per mettersi sotto (temperatura dell'acqua permettendo) e rinfrescarsi dalla calura. Ammetto che l'ultimo chilometro di Stradina per arrivare al luogo è un saliscendi che mette a dura prova freni e frizione...

Gonzalo D — Google review
Villa Comunale di Salerno is one of those places that you unexpectedly fall in love with and find yourself coming back to again and again. Nestled between the lively seafront and the charming old town, it’s a peaceful retreat full of greenery, elegance, and history. From the moment you enter, you're surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens, classic fountains, and lovely shaded paths lined with palm trees, exotic plants, and vibrant flowers. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming—perfect for a morning walk, a quiet break in the afternoon, or just soaking up the local atmosphere. What sets it apart is its combination of nature and art. Throughout the garden are impressive statues, busts of notable Italian figures, and plaques with historical significance. You really get the feeling that this isn’t just a park—it’s a living museum in the open air. There’s also a charming bandstand in the centre, which adds to the timeless feel of the place. The cleanliness and upkeep are worth mentioning—the gardens are very well maintained and there are plenty of benches to sit on. It’s safe, family-friendly, and never feels overcrowded. It’s also just a few minutes from Salerno’s Lungomare promenade, so it fits easily into a day of sightseeing. And if you’re lucky enough to visit during the famous Luci d’Artista light festival (usually between November and January), Villa Comunale becomes a truly magical wonderland. The entire park is transformed into a glowing fairytale, with giant illuminated animals, trees wrapped in lights, and creative displays that enchant both kids and adults. It’s one of the highlights of Salerno in winter. Overall, Villa Comunale di Salerno is more than just a park—it’s a peaceful, historic, and beautifully designed space that reflects the elegance and warmth of the city itself. Whether you’re a tourist or a local, it’s a place that invites you to slow down and simply enjoy the moment.

Duomo di Santa Maria degli Angeli, San Matteo e San Gregorio VII

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Cathedral of Santa Maria degli Angeli, San Matteo and San Gregorio VII is an ornate church with a rich history dating back to 1084. It has undergone several renovations due to natural disasters but has been restored to its original grandeur.
A beautiful 1,000 year old church with a fantastic crypt. The ceiling of the crypt is painted with beautiful frescoes telling many of the stories of Jesus' birth, life, death, and resurrection. I took so many photos of the ceiling that my neck started to hurt! Be sure to visit the museum as well - so many amazing works of art spanning several centuries. Totally worth the couple of hours we spent there and the small admission fee.

The Duomo di Salerno is a beautiful and historic cathedral that is absolutely worth a visit. Built in the 11th century by Robert Guiscard and dedicated to Saint Matthew, whose relics are preserved here, it is one of the most important churches in southern Italy. The entrance through the courtyard with its arches and columns already sets a special atmosphere before you reach the main interior. Inside, the cathedral is elegant and rich in history, with impressive mosaics, chapels, and the crypt of Saint Matthew, which is truly striking. When we visited in the afternoon, there were surprisingly few people, which made the experience even more enjoyable and allowed us to really take in the details in peace. A must-see in Salerno for both history and architecture lovers.

It is worth the trip. If you go to Salerno by cruise ship, take the ferry one way and take the bus another way to Amalfi. You can definitely go further places, but Amalfi was beautiful. It is an expensive place for drinks, deserts, etc. but hey you are on vacation, live a little
Ilkay — Google review
My friend and I arrived here a half hour before the crypt closed Friday night. Definitely go closer to closing as there was almost no one there and made for better photos in the ASTOUNDING crypt. For a fiver, this was SO worth it. I’ve only seen a crypt this spectacular at St Francis Monastery in Assisi. Absolutely mind-blowing Baroque work. We spent 20 minutes JUST in the crypt taking photos. The nave on the other hand is quite simple but has a gorgeous mosaic and there is also a lovely tomb right outside the crypt exit. The online guide you scan via a QR code is very helpful as there is no other info around to guide what you’re looking at.
Jennifer S — Google review
The Duomo of Salerno is breathtaking in its mix of history and architecture. Built in the 11th century by the Normans, it holds the relics of Saint Matthew, one of the Apostles, making it an important pilgrimage site. The bronze doors are incredible, and the crypt beneath the main altar is richly decorated with mosaics and frescoes - one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. The atmosphere is quiet and reverent, but also very welcoming. A must-visit if you’re in Salerno, even if just for a short stroll through the historic center.

Cascate di San Fele is a series of picturesque waterfalls nestled in the hilly, forested terrain of the Lucanian Apennines. The Bradanello torrent gives rise to these stunning cascades as it flows through the municipality of San Fele. Visitors can explore the network of trails that connect these waterfalls, including one dedicated to lovers.
A really beautiful spot in nature, a set of around 7 waterfalls, a couple of which can’t be accessed because of landslide damage. The ones you can visit are just a short walk from the town of San Fele and are really lovely and completely free to enter. The water is cool and clear, some people were swimming but it was too cold for me!

Beautiful spot for a walk in the woods! We enjoyed a pleasant visit to the falls and viewed some wonderful fall scenery along the way. Some other Italian groups out for the same… made for a great outing! The signs are pretty old and impossible to read, so no way to “plan” the walk and route. Hence, 4 stars. Otherwise really nice!

A very beautiful place, it was relaxing to walk along the trail and discover the small waterfalls, I love Basilicata, it's all to discover!

Great walk and good number of waterfalls. Signage is not the best if you want to see the ones that are further from the centre.

Beautiful little waterfall nestled in a lush green wood.

They are nice to see but if the pathway is wet it's almost impossible to go downstairs

Nice walk

Those of San Fele, like many other waterfalls, were formed along the courses of rivers because, in a stretch of their course, the part of the land on which they flow is less resistant to erosion than the part further upstream; over time, a difference in height is formed between the two parts and a waterfall is thus generated that can slowly grow in height over the passing of millennia…

Santuario della Beata Vergine Maria del Santo Rosario di Pompei

Shrine
Sights & Landmarks
The Santuario della Beata Vergine Maria del Santo Rosario di Pompei, a stunning late-19th-century Catholic cathedral, stands as the heart of Pompei. With its magnificent vaulted ceilings adorned with exquisite artwork and an impressive facade, it captures the attention of all who visit. Located in Piazza Bartolo, this spiritual hub also features a small museum dedicated to Bartolo Longo and offers access to a bell tower that provides breathtaking panoramic views of Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius.
I went on a 13-day pilgrimage to Italy with the priest of the Rosary Church in Hong Kong. On 8/5/2025, the 150th anniversary of Pompeii was celebrated. Thank God for being able to attend the Mass and activities in person.

Taking up the entirety of one side of the main square in "new" Pompeii, this magnificent Cathedral is well worth seeing from the inside...high, vaulted ceilings covered with paintings in the classical style, the story of Jesus of course, plus tales of saints. We were lucky to hear grand music emanating from the working organ. Step out of the mad heat to enjoy the serene beauty of the space. Stunningly lit at night, all the way to the tip of the cross. There was a sign for a lift, but we didn't go up the bell tower.

Stunning church with beautiful paintings and frescos. The whole ceiling is adorned. Must visit if you're in the area. Heads up it might be closed from 1pm yo 3pm.

Beautiful church, the inside is breathtaking, so much detail and so much to see. Definitely recommend a visit if you are in the area. Great restaurants in the church square as well.

Absolutely breathtaking! The Santuario della Beata Vergine Maria del Santo Rosario di Pompei is stunning inside and out. The architecture, art, and spiritual atmosphere left me in awe. A must-visit if you’re in Pompei.

A very beautiful church in the center of Pompeii. The building and paintings are amazing, and it feels calm inside.

Beautiful basilica that is worth visiting. There is also a bell tower, which has a nice view, but unfortunately it was closed during my visit.

This is a very beautiful church inside and outside. A service was going on when we were there. Handicap friendly entrance.

Sights & Landmarks
Museum
Melfi Castle, a square-towered fortress originally built by the Normans in the 11th century, sits atop a lush hill. Despite being affected by earthquakes in 1851 and 1930, the powerful structure of the castle has endured. The oldest section was expanded under Roger II's reign and further enhanced by Frederick II of Swabia. Visitors can explore various artifacts from different eras at the museum within the castle grounds.
Wonderful museum, very quiet when we went with only a couple of othe people there. Friendly staff and a wide array of artifacts. Can easily spend a couple of hours here.

From a distance is so exciting to go visit. This Castle is just a museum

The museum inside the castle is amazing has many historical artifacts. The castle is small in size when it is compared with other castles in Italy but rich in history.

Amazing. Much more to see than expected. Entrance fee is not expensive! Castle is beautifull. Museum even more. Although, castle is under maintenance construction works, if you are close to Melfi, absolutely recommend to visit. Don't skip the museum.

Very friendly staff, one of them gave us a talk and explanation in english and then we were free to wander around. Good exhibitions inside and amazing finds on display. Well worth a visit!

It was ok, a little underwhelming. It has been extremely renovated due to an earthquake so the interior doesn't feel very castle like.

I went to melfi for a school trip, it was very nice! The city is very beautiful and very clean, then we went to the castle of Frederick II where there are many tombs, including a child with toys, a woman with kitchen utensils and jewels and a man with some weapons
