Parco Regionale dell'Appia Antica

Mentioned on 
10 lists 
Park
Nature & Parks
Parco Regionale dell'Appia Antica is a historic park that stretches along 16 km of the ancient Roman road. It offers a glimpse into the past with well-preserved tombs and villas. This pathway, once crucial to Rome's military and economic activities, provides an opportunity to immerse in the city's history while surrounded by picturesque natural landscapes. Visitors can explore catacombs, ancient villas, and various historical sites along this iconic route.
Great for a break from the city bustle. It's quaint, it's almost rural, and definitely has the "antique" vibe. If one has time and resources, there are some museum&sights that can be visited along the Parc, but even without visits to those, the road itself is a beautiful place.
Layyla V — Google review
It's in the city but you don't see, hear or feel the city. Its wild, pure nature surrounding you is absolutely incredible. In summer months be prepared to take extra water as it might be a bit hot and for sure you would not want to miss all the views and the hike here. P.S. - you can find a trail here that leads you to pipes residence Castel Gandolfo it's only 18km from that park.
Patryk K — Google review
The bike ride took me all day as I wanted to stop off at every site along the map and see everything. So if your like me, plan for an entire day, bring lots of drinks and snacks. It’s definitely worth the trip, so much to see and do along the way. And if you make it to then end they give you a pin. It’s a long bike ride and it’s a little bumpy but lots of fun, I’ve done with people and solo. I would highly recommend taking a nice bike ride along the way. Or walk if you like but you won’t see nearly as much.
Pong L — Google review
We took a tour on a golf cart. We do not usually take a tour but I highly recommend this tour because it is crowded on the road with cars, buses, bikes and pedestrians. It was nice to have someone to maneuver you efficiently around to see all the different sights along this road. This area is incredible.
Debbie H — Google review
First thing to know: this is more of a (free, open, no hours) national park/reserve than an actual family park, as there aren't many facilities like benches, toilets, water fountains etc. So consider this as a nature area with lots of trees, green views, paths and in some areas - also antiques and historical remains. In the Park's website you can download a detailed map of the entire area which can be useful. As mentioned, there are no cafes and restaurants in the park itself but rather closer to main/side roads - so bring you own food and drinks.
Oh G — Google review
Grab a bike at the information centre. Took around 4 hours to cycle 15 miles (to the end of the park and back. Its a stunning, informative ride through history. You're following the footsteps of 2000 years of history. Highlight of this trip to Rome
Ashley M — Google review
Of all the places I saw in Rome, this was simply one of the most stunning. You can truly admire the results of rewilding attempts whilst in the middle of wildflowers, hares and rabbits. I rented a bicycle to see more of the park and even then could only visit a fraction of it! It's heartwarming to see families and children enjoying this green getaway from the city life. Worthy of spending an entire afternoon and maybe even a full day - I would have wanted to do just that if I had not booked for a dinner at a restaurant located at the other end of town.

Villa Adriana

Mentioned on 
+69 other lists 
Archaeological site
Sights & Landmarks
Hadrian's Villa, located in Tivoli near Rome, is an extensive excavation site and museum that showcases the remains of a Roman villa built between 118 and 134 AD for Emperor Hadrian. The villa covers at least 120 hectares and features numerous buildings carefully arranged amidst lush gardens. Visitors can enjoy stunning views of the Roman countryside while exploring this historical site.
Exceptional, you will spend about 2.5 hours just to get around the site, if you want to stop and read all the boards plan for a bit longer, honestly it's a beautiful place with lots of wow moments standing and admiring the old structures, anyone coming to Italy should stop by here, we walked about 5k and stopped at every point of interest. We arrived quite early, about 9:30 am and there was no queue at all, we parked got tickets and went straight in, it got a little busier by around 12 but I would still consider it very quiet for an attraction. Ticket prices are also very very fair for the experience, £3 to park in the carpark.
Chris — Google review
Villa Adriana is a timeless labyrinth of marble, water, and shadow, where the grandeur of ancient Rome whispers through every column and arch. Wandering its vast gardens, pools, and ruins feels like walking through a dream of emperors, philosophers, and poets. Reflections shimmer on still waters, while sun-dappled paths invite contemplation and awe. Each corner reveals a fragment of a past both monumental and intimate, where history and imagination entwine. At Villa Adriana, one doesn’t merely visit a site — one steps into the poetry of an empire, suspended between stone and sky.
Giulia B — Google review
Amazing architect.place. Buy the water before entering the vila. It is huge and hot place. Try to imagine you were there ages ago. And watch the YouTube videos. You'll be able to imagine the historical place better and know the stories buried in this area.
Klára G — Google review
Stunning small private city! Absolutely gorgeous piece of history. Lots of intact artifacts to look at. Massive structures show the opulence of this villa. The floors are stunning and intact. Beautiful walk and afternoon. Budget a good three hours minimum. Lots of photo ops here! There is a bus for 1.50€ that goes from Villa deste to here. Definitely worth the 30 minute uber from Rome. We bought our tickets online a week before.
Magda D — Google review
A slice of history that takes you back 2000 years to the life of an Imperial Roman Emperor. The preservation is sensitive - no garish displays or plastic centurions. But there is a lot of information next to each structure for the interested. Plan on spending at least two hours to walk around and marvel, more to see everything including the museum.
Patrick C — Google review
A must-see for culture and history lovers visiting Rome. Just a short drive from Rome, Villa Adriana is an archaeological site that was conceived sometime between 118 and 138 AD s an "ideal city" for Emperor Hadrian. Strolling through 120 hectares of ancient lush gardens, tranquil pools, and the remains of over 30 magnificent buildings that blend Greek, Roman, and Egyptian influences gives you a perspective into the life of a roman emperor.
Gabriele L — Google review
My driver said he never has visitors request to go to this site. He asked if I was a history professor! I've seen the Villa in documentaries for many years, and my visit did not disappoint. The site is huge and is full of surprises. It was suggested to spend 2 hours there, but I spent 4. Go beyond the Coliseum and the Vatican and come to Villa Adriana. Uncrowded and full of history!
Gregg O — Google review
I loved it. Ruins are in good shape, meaning that a lot of the buildings are 50% standing. It's not just a pile of stones. The whole complex is very big, so you'll need at least 2 hours for a good visit. This place is not good for people who have difficulty moving around: the ground is very uneven, the steps in the buildings are very very high, so not good for small children or the elderly.

Villa d'Este

Mentioned on 
83 lists 
$$$$very expensive
National museum
Villa d'Este is a 16th-century cardinal's villa located in Tivoli, a popular day trip from Rome. The town has historical significance as a residential and resort area for wealthy ancient Romans, popes, and cardinals. The villa was built by Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este at the foot of Monti Tiburtini and is known for its elaborate hillside gardens with fountains and grottoes.
Villa d’Este is a must see in Tivoli. It is a wonderful place to visit, tranquil and beauty is around every corner. It is not somewhere to rush around but to relax and enjoy. There are so many fountains and pools to see, not to mention the stunning trees, planting and stunning views. Well worth the €10 entry.
Andrew H — Google review
⛲️ Absolutely gorgeous gardens and fountains that are gravity powered! We spent a good three hours here just roaming and taking everything in. We took so many photos! The light and views are spectacular. Very serene and peaceful place. Tivoli is very beautiful too. Definitely worth the 30min uber drive from Rome. We bought our tickets online a week before.
Magda D — Google review
I visited last weekend 18th Oct and would recommend coming after October 23rd only because there’s no water running through the famous cascades and pools during this period. Even so, the villa and gardens remain impressive for their architecture, perspectives and atmosphere. If possible, plan your visit between 3 and 6:00 pm, the light is softer, perfect for photos and the crowds are noticeably smaller. Despite the absence of water, the site still offers a fascinating glimpse into Renaissance grandeur and is definitely worth seeing at least once.
The C — Google review
Beautiful grounds. I would have given 5 stars but the water was shut off for maintenance or perhaps for the season when we went in October . I looked on line the night before visiting to see if it was posted on the website which it was not. You don’t get to capture the full beauty without the fountains. Beauty to see inside ! I would suggest going when fountains are on!
Michelle H — Google review
Fantastic villa and gardens - a peaceful oasis. We could only imagine what it must be like when the 200 fountains are functioning! Our misfortune to visit during a 2 week maintenance window... However, still worth wandering the paths, listening to birdsong and enjoying the gardens.
Bill S — Google review
I am not sure how we found the villa as a destination for our Rome trip. Probably social media video somewhere. But boy we are so happy to spend a day here. We did not spent much in the museum part, but just walking up and down the garden, going to every fountain, taking pictures. Absoltely, breathtakingly beautiful. Must see. In late October when we were visiting, the Sun is setting along the main axis of the fountains, shining and orange glow over the park. Makes it difficult to take some photos, but help is many other way.
Csongor V — Google review
Make sure to purchase the audio guide from the ticket office. This villa was a wonderful experience. Make sure to give yourself a couple of hours for the gardens alone. I’m not a huge garden person when visiting estates or villas, but this was stunning and we wished we had more time to explore all the paths and fountains.

Villa Gregoriana

Mentioned on 
+57 other lists 
Garden
Nature & Parks
Villa Gregoriana, located near Rome in the city of Tivoli, is a stunning park commissioned by Pope Gregory XVI in the 19th century. This unique and unpolluted place features wooded gardens, paths, ancient ruins, natural caves, and a river that flows through rocks to create a spectacular waterfall known as the 'Grande Cascata.' The park also includes the Neptune Cave and Sirens Caves, adorned with diverse plant varieties along tree-lined paths.
Not your typical “villa”. More of a natural park and hike with lots of history and beautiful scenery. Highly recommend if you don’t mind a hike down and up across the canyon. There are also several trail spurs off the main trail to overlooks and grottos that I wouldn’t pass up. If you can come prepared with an audio guide downloaded you’ll get more out of the visit. The ticket office offers a free audio guide but it won’t work without service (you won’t have service) and I don’t believe it was downloadable as it was just a link to a website.
John C — Google review
Villa Gregoriana is a symphony of nature and history, where waterfalls cascade like liquid silver through a verdant canyon. Every path winds through lush greenery, moss-covered rocks, and ancient ruins, whispering tales of Rome’s past. The roar of the waterfalls mingles with the songs of birds, creating a melody that feels both wild and sacred. Sunlight filters through the trees, illuminating hidden corners and ancient stone bridges, inviting the visitor to pause, breathe, and wander. Here, the power of nature and the touch of history merge, leaving a sense of awe that lingers long after the last step.
Giulia B — Google review
Honestly worth every cent!!! This was one of the biggest surprise on my trip to Italy. When you've seen all the Basilicas, Churches, monuments, museums of Rome, take a 3€ train ride to Tivoli and enter the Vila Gregoriana. The entrance fee of 10€ is very good for what you're about to experience! The whole route takes around 1h-1h30 max if you go slowly. You have to go down some steps and then come up of the other side to the exit. The waterfalls are just breathtaking and don't miss the Neptune Cave, it's really amazing. A must visit for anyone that likes nature and wants something different!
Sidónio S — Google review
Amazing place to visit - a maze of trails, history and roman ruins. An impressive hike and peaceful afternoon, deep into the gorge below Tivoli, and then a fascinating walk back up, complete with incredible views, grottos, waterfalls. Wear good shoes!

The fountains for villa d’este were turned off for maintenance while we were there so we chose to come here instead and thank God we did because it was so beautiful!!!

Emir K — Google review
I went to Valmontone Outlet and honestly it was pretty underwhelming. The place is huge and well maintained and they have some nice restaurants around but the shopping part just isn’t worth it. The prices are basically the same as any regular store so it doesn’t really feel like an outlet. Most of the stores are just American brands and there are very few European ones. So if you're coming for unique European finds or big discounts this probably isn't the place. If you're just looking for a place to walk around and maybe grab something to eat it’s fine but I wouldn’t recommend it as a shopping destination.

Good outdoorsy shopping center with a variety of brands to choose from.. some are known worldwide and others are local known Italian brands. The center is served with a good number of toilets and toilets are very clean. Lots of seating and smoking areas spread out. Also there is a good playing area in addition to some few excellent restaurants. Visiting the center shows you how good the italian architecture is. My favorite part was seeing all the men carrying bags standing next to the shops and desperately waiting for their wives to get out of the shops.

Shrine of the Sacred Cave of St. Benedict

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Shrine
Sights & Landmarks
The Shrine of the Sacred Cave of St. Benedict is a captivating medieval monastery nestled into a rocky cliffside, renowned for its stunning frescoes and rich history. This sacred site is believed to be where St. Benedict dedicated three years to meditation and prayer, making it a significant pilgrimage destination in Subiaco. Visitors can easily access the entrance by car, followed by a short 100-meter walk that leads you right into this enchanting space.
This is sofar the most amazing place we have explored . Very fascinating when you get up to the Abbey and awesome views. The interior has 800 year old frescos that are very beautiful. I would definitely recommend coming here if you are in the area. It's free to get in,I would go early like around 10 in the morning since they do seem to do some masses closer to lunch time and it's slower to get in and thru the Abbey. Plus lees people and easier parking at that time.
Harald H — Google review
A Peaceful and Spiritual Hidden Gem! The Shrine of the Sacred Cave of St. Benedict is a truly special and serene place, nestled in the mountains of Subiaco. This historic monastery, built into the rock, is where St. Benedict lived as a hermit before founding the Benedictine Order. The architecture and frescoes inside are breathtaking, with beautiful medieval paintings that tell the story of St. Benedict’s life. The peaceful surroundings and stunning views of the valley make this an ideal place for reflection and prayer. It’s a bit off the beaten path, but absolutely worth the visit for those interested in history, spirituality, or simply looking for a quiet retreat away from the crowds. Highly recommended! 🙏✨🏛️

If you are looking for 1 day excursion outside of Rome, this is a perfect place! Very calm and peaceful place. Amazing Frescoes inside. Be sure to get in with the guide as they will tell you the detailed history behind this place, frescoes and every corner of this monastery. They do Italian and English guided tour. There is no entrance fee or guide fee, but be sure to leave a donation at the end of the tour :) *Due to covid you have to enter with the guide and you cannot get in to the cave and touch St.Benedict foot. There is also a lovely souvenir shop outside.

Castello di Fumone

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Sites
Castello di Fumone, a medieval fortress with a rich and captivating history, has always been a significant and characteristic building of the area. Once serving strategic and military purposes, it is now owned by two Marquises who have opened it to the public. This castle was where Celestine V was imprisoned after refusing his election to the papacy. Additionally, Fumone played a crucial role in transmitting smoke signals to alert Rome and its surroundings of potential invasions.
Fumone is a hidden gem. This little town is over a thousand years old with a lot of history, but literally no tourists there. There are only around 40 people still living there. Visit while you still can.

Our english guide was a blessing! We were lucky that he presented with kindness all the history and knowledge he could. The Castle was well preserved and clean..Wonderful garden, interesting story and nice/welcoming atmosphere.

The place is good, but it is too expensive. Guides are cool and they tell an interesting story about the place and the family, but it is overpriced. The issue is that the castle is private, so the price is very high and no coupon or reduction of price in general are allowed.

The castle is nice and interesting, there is an entrance fee of 12€. The issue is that the tour is available only with a guide, who speaks only Italian. Since the castle is a tourist attraction, it would be nice to have an English speaking guide.

The castle has a fascinating past, having served as an impregnable smoke-signal tower used for hundreds of years to warn Rome and central Italy of impending invasions from the south. We had a tour guide who knew the details well (though a bit stiff in her delivery). The main ediface includes the damp, tiny and windy prison cell were Pope Celestine V was imprisoned after his resignation and possibly murdered by his successor (he was 81 but too hardy and resilient for his own good, it seems). There are valuable objects inside and an impressive pensile (hanging) garden on the roof of the building. The artefacts and edifice however are poorly preserved. The rooms are chock full of objects stacked and bundled together like curios with little care for proper conservation, historical progression, lighting, or aesthetic elegance and with no visitor-oriented narrative shaping the tour itinerary. Shabby rococo and more recent kitsch items are mixed with valuable antiquities. Most rooms seem like they haven't been properly re-plastered or whitewashed since the 1980s. The library is full of badly conserved manuscripts and contains a mummified body of a child (the accompanying story is as fascinating as it is morbid). The views from the garden/roof are spectacular and the surrounding medieval town which grew around the castle is decently maintained despite severe depopulation in recent decades. Several magnificent houses are available for purchase at ridiculous prices, but would require costly restoration for the town to return to its past splendor.

How many places do you know where major personalities of their times (and of western history of the last 800 years) were held captive? This is the castle where Celestine V was in fact imprisoned after refusing his election to the papal soil. More than that, Fumone was an incredibly strategically important location that transmitted smoke signals (hence its name ‘Fumone’) to alert the Eternal city and its surrounding of invasions that regularly threatened the area. Wonderful medieval (and more ancient even) marvel, so beautiful one could decide to leave their heart here).

Temple of Jupiter Anxur

Mentioned on

Archaeological museum
Sights & Landmarks
Ancient Ruins
Perched atop Mount Saint Angelo in Italy's Lazio region, the Temple of Jupiter Anxur is a first-century BC structure dedicated to the god Jupiter as a boy and young man. The ancient Romans referred to Terracina as it is, while the Volscians called it Anxur. From the Town Hall Square, visitors can admire this temple along with stunning views of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
It's a great place to visit. The ruins are not just the temple but also a Benedictine Monastery that came up at the location in later years. There's fresh excavation in progress. So in a few years we could have new details of the history of the place.

Lago di Scanno

Lake

Bodies of Water
Lago di Scanno, a heart-shaped lake nestled amidst the Apennine mountains, offers a picturesque setting for various outdoor activities such as swimming, biking, and pedal boating. The surrounding area is home to the charming village of Scanno, known for its narrow alleyways and traditional gold jewelry craftsmanship. Visitors can explore stone-cobbled streets lined with house museums and Renaissance churches. Additionally, there are marked biking and hiking trails in nearby centers like Pescasseroli and Opi.
Very beautiful lake that is about 120 km away from. The lake offers a lot and satisfys all tastes. You can lay back and enjoy nature, try their trails, swim in the lake, or just do pedaling in the lake. The part we sat in was mainly occupied by locals, which even made it more fun and exposed to the simplicity of life locals live. There are a few cafes & restaurants here and there but with not many options and unfortunately dine in restaurants open only at a few designated hours. It was worth the visit.

F. B — Google review
Lake Scanno, the largest natural lake in Abruzzo ⚓️ Lake Scanno was formed naturally following a landslide of Mount Genzana, which blocked the course of the Tasso river, flooding the surrounding valley and giving rise to the lake 🤔 Lake Scanno is surrounded by a series of mysteries and curiosities, which make this place even more suggestive. But beware not all stories are true. 💚 First of all, there is to dispel the myth that Lake Scanno has the shape of a heart. Actually that is not the case, but from some vantage points you can see it in that form. There is a path called "The Path of the Heart", after an hour of walk from the foot of the lake it will allow you to reach the most beautiful panoramic point of the lake where I am standing at. ⛪️ Along the way you will also meet the Hermitage of San't Egidio. Too bad that it was closed when I passed by. .

what a place! as you follow this street down, you encounter some stairs, a path, rocks everywhere and you just going forwards to see what else is there for you to see! you find these imprints of some big hands on the wall where this Turk has opened the mountain and literally broken it as the legend says. you then encounter a little tiny church, a church maybe with 8-10 seats , so small but yet so cool to then walking up the stairs you find yourself located on top of this tiny church and you look down and all you see is blue! a blue so nice and clear but yet so deep to where it is completely incredible and a mesmerizing! completely suggest to go here to anyone if they can!!

Let me start by saying we stood in a very long queue on Sunday 28 July 2024 in a blistering heat with 4 kids ... eventually, we could pay ...its not cheap either... got in the park and very quickly saw that some of the slides were out of order or broken all together... After queuing again to get onto a slide and going down, I noticed that it was well worn out through time... I think the park was built in 1991 and nothing has been renewed since then .... I sat near the restaurant where I was continually annoyed by ants 🐜... I spent 102€ to get in ....I only stayed for the kids ... if it was up to me alone, I would have asked for my money back and left straight away ...basically I can't recommend a visit unless you want to give you hard earned money away for a broken down old and ruined water park.

The park has a variety of rides and pools, but most of them are for smaller kids. The most spectacular ride seemed to be closed permanently. The Kamikaze is for 16+. Generally, the park is run down. The rides closed for siesta at 1pm! Not OK in a water park, especially when you pay for a whole day. Bring your own lunch. There are a couple of bars with pastery and snacks, but the restaurant was closed. You pay 5 euro for parking!

Gardens
Giardini la Mortella is a stunning hillside garden in Forio, featuring a diverse collection of tropical and Mediterranean flora, enchanting water features, and breathtaking bay views. Originally purchased by the renowned English composer Sir William Walton in 1949, with the help of landscape architect Russel Page, it was transformed into a paradise. The gardens boast an array of rare plants including the celebrated Gingko Biloba and the mesmerizing Victoria Amazonica.
I'm a gardener so I'm always keen to visit a botanical garden wherever I go, but this one is truly spectacular. A mystical panoply of all types of plants from different regions. Some really special orchids and water plants. Nooks, ponds and rockeries galore. Highly recommend. You could easily spend all day there so be careful. Really good price for the wonders on offer. Enjoy!
Callum M — Google review
While the beauty and care with which the gardens have been cultivated are truly admirable, my visit was unfortunately overshadowed by the fact that smoking is permitted within the grounds. Allowing visitors to smoke in such a serene, carefully preserved natural environment is not only detrimental to the air quality and atmosphere but also deeply detracts from the experience for those who come seeking peace, beauty, and inspiration. The gardens, created over many years with such dedication and vision, deserve to be enjoyed in a setting that respects their tranquility and ecological integrity. Sadly, the presence of cigarette smoke made it difficult to fully appreciate the space and ambiance that Sir William Walton and Lady Susana Walton so lovingly brought to life. I strongly urge the Foundation to reconsider its policy on smoking within the gardens. Implementing a non-smoking rule would preserve the healthful environment, enhance the experience for all visitors, and align more closely with the spirit of harmony and reflection that La Mortella was clearly intended to embody.

Gorgeous gardens (ticket 12 €), quite large, so you will spend some time here. There is even a small cafe bar with some food right under the Greek theater (you can also find toilets here, next to the theater). We also caught the concert in the evening from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM and the ticket cost only 8 €. Fallowing the song for parking and ticket office if you are by car (around 1 km from down, another entrance by foot).

This is a must-visit-place if you visit Ischia! The place is incredible, and there's so many wonderful, beautiful and unique places. Make sure to have plenty of time, and it is a big garden and theres quite a lot of walking, paths up and down, elevations and stairs. At the very top and bottom, trees offer you a bit of shade and fresh air. The the levels in between, the sun and stairs can make it an incredibly warm experience. Make sure to bring water and something for your blood sugar if it is a very warm day. The place is relatively easy to reach by public transportation. Parking is a bit more tricky, however if you enjoy a slightly challenging drive on small roads there's a small parking lot at the very top of the garden.

If you’ve visited botanical gardens in other major cities (500,000+ population), this one won’t surprise you — it’s pleasant, but quite standard. Plan for about an hour to see everything. One important tip: there are a lot of tiger mosquitoes here. If you’re not familiar with them, look them up and make sure to bring repellent — it will make your visit much more enjoyable.

Il Monastero is a unique hotel located within the Castello Aragonese on a small island off the coast of Ischia. It was originally a 16th-century convent and has been transformed into a rustic hotel with simple accommodations, offering stunning panoramic views of the island. The terracotta floors and handcrafted decor by local artisans provide an authentic and warm atmosphere.
Almost don’t want to sing its praises too much in case prices rise and it becomes too in demand! A unique, wonderful and stylish hotel. The terrace has amazing views, the rooms are simple but comfortable, the staff are lovely and it was spotlessly clean. Not suitable for anyone unable to climb stairs or who would want a pool. We will be coming again next year for sure

Il Monastero is a unique hotel that offers five star quality surroundings, staff and food. The lush gardens, beautiful views, tranquil and relaxed feeling … it’s a special place you really need to absorb and take in. Multiple nights suggested: Ischia offers plenty for 3-4 days and is better enjoyed without a rush. And Il Monastero offers the perfect stay.

Our stay was nothing short of spectacular. The location is incredible - you’re staying in a unique monument with views that are out of this world (even considering Italian standards). The family owned hotel is very tastefully decorated with art made by several of the family members - perfect blend of history with contemporary touches. The breakfast was another highlight - varied and delicious ingredients. Loved the cafeteria as well that offered varied frames over the bay and sea under the trees. The garden was just incredibly beautiful. Service was outstanding, including the proactive help we got with managing our luggage up and down the hill. One of the most unique hotels I’ve stayed in. Would go back in a heartbeat

​My recent visit to Il Monastero Hotel was a wonderful experience, set against one of the most spectacular backdrops imaginable. From the moment we arrived, the check-in staff made us feel incredibly welcome, taking the time to explain everything we needed to know for our stay. ​Our room, #21, was a particular highlight. It was not only spacious and comfortable but also featured a balcony with truly spectacular views that we couldn't get enough of. The evening atmosphere was lovely as well. We enjoyed drinks and a decent dinner in a beautifully set environment. Dinner was Ok. ​While the stay was wonderful overall, a couple of things could be improved. The breakfast was a bit of a letdown compared to the rest of the experience. The coffee, in particular, was quite poor, and it felt a little limiting when the staff only offered "espresso or cappuccino" to guests. I believe with a little more training, the breakfast service could easily match the high standards of the rest of the hotel. Keep in mind that there are few stairs to climb, the lift went out of service during our last night. While we enjoyed the experience of walking up to the hotel, others might find it difficult. ​I highly recommend using the parking lot about a 12-minute walk away. It was a convenient solution for keeping our car overnight. ​Despite these minor points, our stay was truly special and I would absolutely go back one day to experience the unique charm and incredible views that Il Monastero offers.

This experience was truly unique: to be accommodated in such a fabulous castle, with a breathtaking view and a team of staff that are absolutely the kindest possible.

The Albergo II Monastery is a magnificent blend of history and hospitality - an old Monastery and caslte lovingly converted into a hotel. The setting is stunning, with breathtaking gardens and panoramic views over the island that are simply unforgettable (especially if you are there on the Feast of St Anna - amazing view on the fireworks). The food is outstanding: organic refined, flavorful, and of an exceptional quality. The staff are warm, attentive and go above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. The design and aesthetics are nice, creating an elegant and serene atmosphere. Overall, a beautiful and memorable stay. It is a little sad that the building's original monastic identity has been almost entirely erased - especially in such a historic comple, in a country with deep Catholic roots like Italy. The rooms, while comfortable, could benefit from slight renovations to add more "wow" factor, comfort and a stronger sense of character.

Royal Palace of Caserta

Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the heart of Italy, the Royal Palace of Caserta stands as a magnificent testament to Baroque architecture and opulence. This sprawling palace, surrounded by lush gardens adorned with stunning fountains, was commissioned by Charles III of Bourbon as a rival to Versailles. Since its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, visitors have been captivated by its nearly 1,200 rooms filled with exquisite furnishings and breathtaking frescoes.
Amazing and impressive place; staggering the scale of it and how long it took to build, but not at all surprising when you see it. An absolute must to visit, it is the only way it can be truly appreciated. Over 1,200 rooms and about 40 metres tall! The gardens are absolutely huge and equally impressive, I recommend the minibus if you don't have so much time because you can easily spend a whole day walking around the entire property, but you do then miss out on the length of the run to the garden, especially you like taking pictures. Given the number of rooms, there's clearly a lot to see inside. Both areas contain a huge amount of creative items to see, like statues (mostly in the gardens) and paintings and other fixtures.
Stephen P — Google review
I think it’s one of Italy’s hidden gems. Such a lovely place with marvelous architecture and a beautiful garden. However, I believe it deserves more care and attention—the garden could be even more stunning than it currently is. The entrance ticket to the palace was €12 as of September 2025, with the last entry at 6 PM. After 5 PM, the fee is reduced to €5. The garden has a separate entrance fee of €3 and remains open until 7:30 PM. I highly recommend visiting this palace. It’s truly worth it!

I can't recommend it enough, it's astonishing. If I was to go back I'd visit the palace one day and the gardens another. I spent a whole day from 8:30 am to 4pm and I could have easily spent a few more hours just walking around soaking the beauty of the place, but I was tired and I had to get the bus back.

The Royal Palace of Caserta is a stunning 18th-century masterpiece, rivaling Versailles in scale and elegance. Designed by Luigi Vanvitelli for the Bourbon kings of Naples, it features lavish interiors, grand staircases, and expansive gardens with fountains and sculptures. A UNESCO World Heritage site, it offers a majestic glimpse into royal opulence and Italian artistry.
Marian G — Google review
A magnificent place that truly impresses with its scale and beauty! 🏛️ The palace resembles Versailles but with its own Italian charm — vast halls, marble staircases, frescoed ceilings, and beautifully preserved 18th-century furnishings. The park is especially breathtaking — an endless alley with fountains, cascades, and statues stretching for several kilometers. It’s best to allow at least 3–4 hours for a walk, and if you plan to reach the Grand Waterfall on foot, reserve the whole day. You can rent an electric cart or a bike, and if you’re visiting with a group, it’s convenient to take a small shuttle bus — just €5 per person. 🎟️ It’s best to buy tickets online to avoid queues. ☕ At the very end of the park, near the waterfall, there’s a cozy café where you can enjoy authentic Italian cuisine and relax after the walk. 📷 It’s also one of the most picturesque places in Campania for photography. Overall — an absolute must-visit if you’re in Naples or nearby. Historical grandeur, natural beauty, and a true sense of the past — all in one place. ⭐ Rating: 5/5

Grandiose structure (mostly empty) but the royal chambers (Piano nobile) are quite extensive and richly decorated and elegantly furnished. I enjoyed a 90 minute very informative guided tour in Italian (unfortunately with an excessive amount of Bourbon-era nostalgia... and no critical comment on the social costs of such bombastic projects and the sociopolitical effects of spatial distancing of royalty from the common folk in a guilded playground). I found this Reggia more elegant and pretty than the Quirinal and some other palaces in Italy (laden with austere or disproportionate displays of Baroque or mismatched styles or unfinished or unrestored works). Many similar palaces in Germany and Austria are however more elegant and aesthetically pleasing (they have also been restored to a supreme level of splendor and decadence by exceedingly generous government allocations in recent years). What recent administrations have done to restore the Reggia after decades of neglect is surely remarkable. The mixture of contemporary art with the original museum exhibits (after COVID) is not always very convincing: some combinations work fine but in other cases there is no real dialogue between works of art (the contemporary pieces - of differing quality and from a single collection linked to a recent natural disaster - seem put there very jarringly simply to respect the conditions of the donation, i.e. that they reach the widest public possible, and little concern for the dignity and harmony of the rooms' decor). Some works would work better in the empty exhibition spaces of the palace (even with baroque and neoclassical works included for comparison). But then you if you expand the exhibition spaces, you need to keep visitors there the whole day to visit the royal chambers and the rest of the museum. So you would need to attract families with children (with some technology exhibits, children's areas, etc.) and full day visitors (with a food court, performances in the gardens, picknic areas, horse riding...). I hope the site continues to develop into a mature and diversified tourist venue.

Not just a must see, an amazing experience! One of the most beautiful gardens i ve ever been in my life! You should definetely go there. You can skip the palace, its just another palace, but you should get to the garden! We ve made the one way on foot, and we came back with the bus. Its a reaaaaly long distance, so i would suggest you to rent a bicycle. it would be much more pleasant. If you get there at its opening time, you will have the garden for yourself!!!

The Royal Palace of Caserta is truly breathtaking. Built in the 18th century for the Bourbon kings and designed by Luigi Vanvitelli, it was meant to rival Versailles and you can really feel it. The rooms are grand and elegant, the monumental staircase is stunning, and the huge gardens with fountains and long water basins are spectacular. The history behind it, from its royal origins to its UNESCO recognition, makes the visit even more meaningful. Absolutely worth seeing if you’re in Campania!!!

Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli

Archaeological museum
Museums
The Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli is housed in a 17th-century palace and features prehistoric artifacts, coins, and ancient works of art. Conveniently located in the heart of the historic center, it offers a captivating journey through Italian art history with pieces from renowned international artists. The museum's vast collection includes Roman and Greek artifacts, many unearthed at Pompeii and Herculaneum.
The museum is a beautiful building and worthy of a visit itself. A must visit if you have been to Pompeii and Herculaneum. We queued about 20 minutes so during peak times I would recommend buying tickets online beforehand. Entrance fee is 20€ and worth the money. There is so much to see so allow at least three hours for your visit. All statues and artefacts are beautifully displayed as you meander around the museum from hall to hall. The inner courtyards are also inviting for a little rest. There is a cafe and bookshop onsite as well.

Perhaps the best museum I've ever been to. Having visited Pompeii and Herculaneum a few days before, this place was a must after that experience. There are so many artefacts, in particular paintings, which come from these places, that really enriches your understanding and increases your sense of awe. As someone who loves ancient statues, this was like heaven. So many wonderful ones there is no point in picking any out, there are so many here it is bewildering. If you have any interest in antiquity then this should be on your bucket list. We went on a Friday in late October. There were plenty of people but it was quieter than I expected. We spent over 4 hours here and we were not bored for a second. Highly recommended.

This is a must see, especially if you have been to Pompeii or Herculaneum. I would recommend doing those sites first and then the museum because it gives you context for what you are seeing. The mosaics were incredible. The exhibit on erotica made me laugh out loud. No signs in the museum not to touch objects, except here on the giant phalluses. Sigh. Also in the hall if the colossal statues there is a room at the far end, it had the jewels of a prominent family whose line ran out. It was incredible, and there was maybe 5 people in the exhibit. In the basement is an Egyptian exhibit that in my opinion was better than the Louvre, mainly because there was not a thousand people crushing through it. Definitely worth visiting.

So beautiful! a must-see in Naples! This museum was one of the highlights of our trip. It’s full of stunning life-sized statues with the most amazing details, plus incredible art and artifacts from Pompeii. You really get a feel for what ancient life was like. You could easily spend hours here just wandering around and taking it all in, there’s so much to see!

This museum is big. So many artifacts in there. Tons of statues. We went to see the Pompeii ruins as it houses the largest collection of items unearthed. Even glass kitchen wares. Even to move quickly through it you'll need a few hours. Oh, and dont skip out on the Secret Cabinet section. I cant post pics as Google will shoot down this post. Google it, its pretty interesting.

This museum is so underrated! It was amazing. The sculptures, the mozaiks, the paintings. The coffee shop inside the museum is nice and the toilet is nice too. We spent 2-3 hours in here and didn't even notice it went by so fast. This is a must do in Naples.

British persons review 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 We went on the free Sunday which is the first Sunday of every month. We went at opening time and it was populated but not heaving with people. Very cool huge statues, a room that is reminiscant of the Sistine Chapel, very interesting artwork and places to sit and relax. The gift shop didn't have a lot other than books and a few very expensive figurines. But there was a couple of other things that was reasonably priced. It does look rough from the outside but is lovely inside. All in all a very good experience I recommend.

Galleria Borbonica - Ingresso Vico Grottone

Mentioned on 
+20 other lists 
History museum
Museums
Galleria Borbonica - Ingresso Vico Grottone offers tours of an old tunnel that once connected the palace to military barracks and served as a bomb shelter during WWII. The tunnel, built in 1853 by Ferdinand II, is part of the 17th-century Carmignano Aqueduct system and incorporates 16th-century cisterns. Visitors can take standard tours or opt for more adventurous options like the Adventure Tour or Speleo Light Tour.
This was a very enjoyable tour of the tunnels beneath Naples. The guide was very knowledgeable telling the history of the tunnels being excavated up until WW2 when they were used as underground bunkers. There are old cars and motorcycles down in the tunnels. At the end of the tour there is a small section where you can buy some antiques from Marco. He is passionate about antiques and is very friendly. If you buy a few items you might get a look at his lock up which is below his shop. Highly recommended and enjoyable tour.

Amazing "must do" tour we had the lovely Sabrina as our English speaking guide. She was knowledgeable and very good. Very eye opening as ex RAF myself to see the war from the civillian receiving end. The cars and bikes were awesome and the miles of tunnels amazing testament to the local's ancestors ingenuity and hard work.

For anyone trying to decide Galleria Borbonica ou Napoli Sotteranea, don't even think twice. This one is the one to do. I've done both and this one was 1000x better. Not only the underground is much more interesting, but the guide was VERY knowledgeable, you could see she liked what she was doing and explained everything perfectly. Very interesting tour, very well worth the money. 5*

Fascinating place! Really cool to be able to see 2000 year old aqueducts and even WWII history right under such a vibrant city. Nice thing about this tour is there are no stairs to go back up if you enter down the stairs. Cool little gift shop at the end too. Was able to get tickets 30 minutes before.

Amazing that is good word for that experience! Easy to purchase tickets and find the place. Everything started on time. We had a wonderful guide- a women with an amazing english! This was a tour in english but you can buy in italian too. Many historical facts that made us understand this city much better! My husband favorites thing were cars and motorcycle place with oryginal stuff from the time after 2nd WW time.

Very insightful visit about how the Royal Palace was built using the volcano stone from below and then was later used as a shelter during the war! You can still see old relics from back in the day. Special thanks to our host Alessandra, she was super competent. The only thing the tour really should have is an age limit…we had a couple of small kids (around 5 or 6), ask about bomb shelters, which is highly inappropriate. It’s not a kid-friendly activity.

Sansevero Chapel Museum

Museums
Sansevero Chapel Museum, located in the heart of Naples, is a hidden gem that might be easily overlooked. Originally built in the 17th century and later remodeled by Prince Raimondo di Sangro in the 18th century, it houses a collection of remarkable sculptures created by renowned artists. The chapel features unique Baroque-style architecture and is home to mysterious and symbolic sculptures, including a veiled Christ made from marble.
impressive... looks surreal... can't belive my eyes it's a whole piece of marble. Last time we were in Naples couldn't get in- worth ordering the tickets beforehand. PS: still can't understand why taking pics is strictly forbidden- one can't remember it all, taking pics, zooming in and studying is a way to extand uour stay long after you're gone. So, here you can see the brand of jewelry that's sold in the shop- not sure it is silver, although they assured me it is- no marks on the btacelet I bought there}
Ani B — Google review
The Veiled Christ sculpture is without a doubt the most impressive. The way the marble looks like a delicate, transparent veil over Jesus is unbelievable. I honestly couldn’t believe it was carved from a single block of marble. It’s one of the most beautiful and emotional pieces of art I’ve ever seen. The other piece that really stood out to me was the one with the marble net (Il Disinganno). The fine detail in the net is just mind blowing. Although the chapel isn’t very big, every part of it is full of intricate art and symbolism. I do wish we could take photos, but I also understand why it’s not allowed, it helps you focus more on the moment. Highly recommend booking in advance, as it can get very crowded. But it’s 100% worth visiting!!

The highlight of my trip is Guiseppe Sanmartino’s Veiled Christ in the Sansevero Chapel Museum in the heart of Napoli’s old city. I have been waiting for this moment since for 2 years when i first learnt about this incredible masterpiece. The thinness, fluidity and transparency of the veil, the expression on the face and body of Christ as he laid in the tomb is remarkable and hard to imagine that the material is marble. Very unforgettable an experience. The staff are helpful and excellent in managing crowd flow. The chapel is small and the experience of entering in is intense and mystical. Too bad no photography of any kind is allowed but there were books to purchase at the end. I wish there were more literature on Guiseppe Sanmartino’s life and history. This great craftsman remains a mystery to me for now.

Jan A — Google review
So there is no warning online when you buy the expensive tickets that you can not take photos inside. Which is fine, people would take a long time if everyone took photos, and it is a small chapel. However you can not take photos in the store of the postcards either. I find that ridiculous for the price of 12€ entry to this tiny thing. Also typical rude Napolitans employees, but that is expected i guess.
Tünde P — Google review
An absolute must-see in Naples. Although the San Severo Chapel is just one single room, it’s one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever visited. The sculptures and frescoes inside are stunning, with an incredible level of detail and realism. It’s really worth getting the audio guide, as it explains in depth the history and meaning behind each sculpture and fresco. Without it, you miss a lot of context and can’t fully appreciate what you’re seeing. For such a short visit, it’s definitely worth it. The visit takes around 20–30 minutes, and it never feels long or heavy. It’s short, fascinating, and full of beauty. If you’re in Naples, it’s an essential stop — a small gem you shouldn’t miss.
Jordi P — Google review
This is not to be missed when in Naples! Some of the most incredible art I have ever seen! Some of the most famous works of art are in this chapel. No photos allowed so you can really just focus on what you are seeing. You can get pictures when you are leaving by scanning a bar code. Highly recommend!

It is a wonderful chapel full of potent history but the "do not take picture" is a very stupid policy as I saw tons of people shooting around and even here I can witness other people posting their pictures. Just get rid of this policy please. Photos are all around the world. I really dont understand why you dont want people to bring home this true neapolitan gem and beauty. And I am speaking as neapolitan myself.

Underground Naples

Mentioned on

Archaeological museum
Sights & Landmarks
Discover the hidden world of Underground Naples, a vast network of ancient tunnels and chambers that lie beneath the modern streets of the city. This underground city spans over 40 miles and dates back to ancient Greek times when it was used for stone extraction. Over the centuries, it was expanded by Romans and Bourbons for various purposes including as an aqueduct. Visitors can explore this mystical place, descending about 40 meters below street level to witness remnants of the Greek-Roman theatre and other historical sites.
Very cool experience - 45 meters underground and full of history from ancient times to WW2. The tour also includes a short tour of a hidden playhouse that is neat. Definitely buy tickets online & in advance to skip the line. In regard to others' claustrophobia warnings - the part that is very bad (12 inches wide & 4 ish inches tall at some points) can be skipped so you can still enjoy the tour.
Andrew C — Google review
Somewhat interesting. The guide wasn’t loud enough at times, some words I didn’t understand and people were talking, also the group was like 50, way too big. The tunnels were fun to go into and the area in general is pretty interesting. The wine cellar at the end was cool but very small. Women at the ticket counter wasn’t sure you if you could get online tickets and when I returned with an online ticket, she scanned it… why she couldn’t just say you could is beyond me, language barrier or just not too interested in your job who knows. Get an online ticket to get in faster, cash only otherwise.
Rob — Google review
fascinating experience. The guided tour through Napoli Sotterranea gives a completely different view of the city’s history — from ancient aqueducts to World War II shelters. The guide was knowledgeable and made it easy to imagine life underground. The passages are narrow at some points, so good shoes are a must. Definitely worth visiting if you want to see something unique in Naples.
Nabil N — Google review
The group size is too big. 57 people in one group is too much. At the entrance it was chaos. We bought our ticket online. It said to bypass the queue, only to be send back at the end of the queue. At the smallest part we had to go back because another group entered at the other side. One woman started to panic and the guide didn't even notice. The upper part was done by another guide. He walked very fast and we lost him somewhere. Also his voice was soft. The group was quiet, but still at the back you couldn't hear what he was saying. It was nice what was shown, but the big group spoiled it somehow.
Bas S — Google review
Ok so I have mixed feelings about this. First of all, when you arrive it's a huge chaos at the entrance. Why don't they put ropes with 2 lines to separate the tours by language and then some passage to let people with online tickets to pass in front of everyone (since it's a SKIP THE LINE ticket!!) Then... There are just too many people in each group. I think there were at least 60 in our group. This creates a huge problem with people pushing to take photos and another problem when the guide is talking and half of these people are talking so you can't hear anything! The tour itself is nice, there's a very very narrow passage where you can't be claustrophobic otherwise it will be a problem. For my surprise, this is a 2 part tour. The first one is the underground itself then they will take you by foot in the streets further to another place which doesn't add much apart from the "surprise" (no spoilers). Another problem: these tour guides are basically formatted robots. They learnt the lines and that's it. I'm sure they know nothing about the underground, in our case our guide was asked several questions to which he answered "I have no idea" to almost all of them. The funniest one was a girl asking how they pumped the water and he answer was "it's physics".....
Sidónio S — Google review
It was a nice experience, the guide was well prepared, made the tour interesting and answered our questions promptly. I expected the visit to be in only one place, but the remains of the ancient amphitheater were in a bulding close by. We bought our tickets through a provider, not directly at the entrance, but it is ok either way. A little warning: there are many steps to go down, and, after the tour, to climb up.
R S — Google review
Interesting tour experience with the main attraction being a few yards under the main street level. Used during major historical operation like WW2 and remnants of ancient civilization was unique. The display case showed figures in German SS patrol outfits to illustrate Italy under German occupation in the 40’s. The guide was ok but clear she didn’t have a lot of public speaking experience. She was hard to understand tho seemed to be doing her best with the crowd. The tight tunnels were interesting though again info was not clear of what things were used for so there was a lot of guessing to be done.
Smarshall827 — Google review
We were not planning to visit this place until the last minute because we had time before departing the train. We bought the ticket online an hour before the stsrting time which is 12pm on a Thursday. Lots of slots. Arrived 10 min before, there were people lining up between English and Italian tour guide. There is no solo entering, only group tour so be on time. This is what it gets interesting, when we head downstairs into the underground, we had to stop at one point. It's like 40m below the ground. All of a sudden I felt ill, like I was out of oxygen and going to faint. I don't know if it's because of the thin air, being claustrophobic or fear of being stuck underground, but I almost quit and went back a few times. I only calm down after few minutes and I tried hard to breathe properly. Was breathing through a nose mint inhaler the entire time. My partner calm me down and was massaging my neck and hand. I was just trying hard not to faint. When it came to the point where we had to go through a narrow passage, I tried the first path and bail out. My body was just not accepting it. So I waited for everybody for like 5 min at the waiting point. If you can go through the narrow passage, you'll be able to see the water pond. After 30 min we were able to go back upstairs. I felt a big relief. Then we moved to an old house that has another underground passage way. 🙂‍↔️ I thought it was going to be a challenging fun interesting experience but I now know that I'll never do a cave or underground adventure. Just not for me. I'm an adrenaline junkie - tried skydiving, bungee, or scuba dive, and never thought I would have fear of being in the underground. Conclusion, feel free to go if you think you can handle it. Out of all the 50 ish group, only 3 (me, 2 old couple) did not go through the narrow passage.

The Blue Grotto is a famous sea cave that can be reached by boat. It is renowned for its stunning bright blue waters, which are a result of the sunlight reflecting off the surface. This attraction is part of a larger collection of sightseeing spots and fun activities on Capri island, offering visitors opportunities to experience local culture, dine at great restaurants, find budget-friendly accommodations, shop, party, and relax.
It’s an awesome experience. We got the bus down from Ana Capri (which was an experience in itself…). The queue was about 2hrs long and it was in the heat down the steps but we bought water and fans from the shop you pass through. The boat tour is absolute chaos but brilliant fun and once inside the grotto it’s lovely and you get serenaded by the skippers. Worth the wait. They were all done by 2:30pm as the waters were high so best get there early
Danny W — Google review
The cave and the color of the water is amazing. It was an adventurous experience to change the boat . Quite a wonder that it worked out fine. The waiting time to get in the cave is really long und it was so tight in this small boat. Thank god I took a pill to prevent a motion sickness otherwise it would be a torture. Well, altogether it was an experience but it really expensive. I really don’t know for sure if it worth it.
Som M — Google review
It is an experience that is a "must do" if you are visiting Capri. We were there early at 8:15am, and were literally the 2nd group in line. They start the tours at 9am. They started a little early, and we were actually out of the cave and on shore at 9am. We had thought it was going to take almost 2 hours (which is definitely possible because by the time we were out, there were 50 people in the line on shore, and a couple dozen boats of people waiting for the small boats to pick them up 4 at a time to go into the cave).
Keith E — Google review
Very much a tourist trap, only do it if you have the means for it. Costs about 18€ per person and an additional 10€ for the boat rower. Also only do it if there is not a lot of wait. We only waited 15 min and didn’t know what to expect. The tour inside is only 5 minutes. Each boat takes 4 people and you have to duck down to fit inside the cave entrance. I would say you are not missing much if you don’t do it, there’s a lot of other better things to do in Capri.
Falene C — Google review
Clear blue waters. Mysterious coves. Light breeze. That's all you need for a perfect getaway in this paradise situated in Capri. The natives taking you inside the Grotto are friendly and welcoming, singing beautiful Italian parodies that touch your heart. The cave inside the Grotto dates back to the time when a Romanian king came to this Grotto by digging a tunnel for 90m. There a huge line for this but the experience itself is out of this world. Highly recommend!
Yamini K — Google review
The Blue Grotto in Capri is absolutely magical! The moment you glide into the cave, the sunlight reflecting off the water creates a glowing, almost otherworldly blue that takes your breath away. The boat ride is short but unforgettable, and the experience feels truly unique to Capri. The guides are friendly and add to the charm with their singing and stories. It’s a must-see—photos can’t capture the beauty, you simply have to experience it in person!

Nature at its best. The color of the waters is surreal. Must see in person, well worth a boat ride there.
EH — Google review
€18 euro per person for entry and bigger boat ride to the site €10 euro forced tip per person on top to the smaller boat guide For one person, that will come out to €28! Not sure if it's worth that much especially since it's part of nature -_-. Feels weird to capitalize on this. I saw the boat guide stay near our bigger boat until the ladies in the boat with us gave him tip (I don't think it was their fault, I just don't think their English was that good so they probably didn't understand what he meant). Also, as soon as I gave him our tip, he immediately looked at it, which I thought was awkward and rude. I also saw the boat guides pass over taking certain people, and I'm guessing they're stereotyping people on how much they can tip. Also, THE WAIT! Even though we went there first after taking the first ferry to Capri, there was still an hour wait. If there's a wait, now I really don't think it's worth it, especially if you're there on a day trip. Me and my husband wished we skipped on the boat tours and blue grotto and just explored inland more because inland was gorgeous and it was just nice to stroll around. While the view inside was gorgeous, I don't think the whole experience was worth €28 per person. Felt more like a tourist trap.

Villa San Michele

Mentioned on 
+34 other lists 
Museum
Park
Villa San Michele, located in Anacapri, is a historic villa known for its ancient art and sculptures. Once owned by Dr. Axel Munthe, the villa features a museum showcasing artifacts like a bust of Emperor Tiberius and an Egyptian Sphinx overlooking the Gulf of Naples. The surrounding gardens are filled with Mediterranean plants and offer breathtaking views of Mount Vesuvius in the distance.
Although the journey there is challenging—especially on foot—it is absolutely worth it. This local gem boasts beautiful architecture and a truly stunning, expansive garden. Building the house in that exact spot was an inspired decision, as it offers a breathtaking view all year round. It is a must-visit.

Villa San Michele is where Swedish order meets Italian beauty – with a view so stunning it might cure mild existential crises. Built in the 19th century by Swedish doctor Axel Munthe (clearly a man with a flair for the dramatic), the villa boasts ancient columns, marble sphinxes, and a panorama over the Bay of Naples that could stop time. Just be careful on the terrace – it’s not vertigo or love, it’s the uphill walk catching up with you. :)

If you come to Anna Capri Italy, you must come here and check out this amazing Villa. The history is very interesting. The ruins he brought back from mainland, Italy, and Rome, as well as Pompeii are amazing to look at.
Jerry Z — Google review
Absolutely breathtaking art and views — definitely a must-see if you have the time. There are plenty of great shops and restaurants nearby, as well as the lift to the highest point of Capri. You can take a taxi to the square and then walk about 10 minutes to the museum, or choose to walk the full 50 minutes from Capri’s main square. Be aware, though, that the walk is quite challenging — you’ll need to climb around 986 steps to reach the museum!

One of my new most favourite places on Earth. So amazing, calm and beautiful gardens with view. Very nice roof cafe. Hope to come back one day.

Nice villa with a nice story, beautiful surroundings and arhitecture. I would say it is a bit expensive to visit, 12 euros per visit. If you just want the views, seeing it from the fenician stairs I would say it is enough

Mountain peak

Monte Solaro, the highest point on Capri, is a limestone mountain with the remains of a Napoleonic War fort and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the island, including the iconic Faraglioni rocks and even Naples and Salerno on the mainland. The mountain is home to diverse flora and fauna, including nesting birds like the Peregrine Falcon and unique species such as the Blue Lizard.
Nice chair lift to the highest point of Anacapri. 20 minutes wait line and on the top we sat for some cold drinks. Lovely views. There's not much to do, but it's worth the 14 euros PP for the ride.
Yuval K — Google review
Monte Solaro offers breathtaking panoramic views—you can see the entire island of Capri and beyond. Access is very easy via the chairlift, which is a lovely experience in itself, providing stunning views throughout the ride. Visiting Monte Solaro is highly recommended — a must-see spot for any Capri visitor.
Giorgos A — Google review
Cable car to the top of Monte Solaro, one of the best views from the whole island of Capri the restaurant there has great bread and wine and food and a little walk to the edge.

It’s a very nice view. There’s not much to do in Capri and this is one of the things. There’s a little cafe at the top too.
Maddy A — Google review
I love the view. Very safe chairlift. It cost 14 euros per person. It takes 14 min to go up and 14 min to go down. U can take ur time at the top to enjoy the view and take pictures. U can try the restaurant overe there as well. By little bit expensive but logical. U can also have a walk down if you dlnt want to take the chair lift for the return. Enjoy your stay in capri
Kawtar B — Google review
Unforgettable experience at Monte Solaro! You reach the summit by a single-seat chairlift from Anacapri — the ride takes about 13 minutes each way, but it’s best to book in advance since lines can be long. The view from the top is absolutely breathtaking, a 360-degree panorama of the sea, Naples, and the island — truly one of the most beautiful sights imaginable. There’s a restaurant at the summit with amazing views, though quite expensive (we paid €7 for a cappuccino). Even the toilets cost €1 to enter, but honestly, the view alone makes it all worth it. A must-do experience on Capri!

Quick check. View was great and produced nice pics

The view from the top is amazing. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because the place is in bad conditions and not very clean. For the money they charge for the lift it could be a better experience.

Mount Vesuvius

Mentioned on

Volcano
Nature & Parks
Mountains
Mount Vesuvius, an active volcano towering above the bay of Naples in Campania, is famous for its devastating eruption in 79 CE that buried the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum in ash. These archaeological sites provide a vivid picture of society and daily life at that time.
Wow... climbing an active volcano... what an experience... spectacular views from the top, even a snack shop! We booked parking and drove to halfway up. Then got the shuttle bus, 3e each return (be prepared, they only take cash). Parking is interesting, but worked out well. From the entrance, it took us about 45mins to walk the rest of the way, but that was with two Kids in tow... it is steep, but worth it. Again, there are drink stops along the way, but mobile signal is hit and miss, so best to have cash. The only downside was the return shuttle bus... there is no official stop, so its a free for all trying to get back on one. Something off the bucket list.
Captain N — Google review
A nice experience, especially for nature lovers, history enthusiasts, and hikers. From the bus drop-off point to the summit, it's about a half-hour easy walk, the ascent is not too difficult. The view into the crater itself is not that impressive, but the bonus you get from the climb is the panoramic views of the Bay of Naples.
Kemal K — Google review
This was the second volcano I have climbed, the first being Etna. What can I say? First of all, I feel incredibly lucky that I managed to get the last three tickets for the day, sold right at the last minute! I was over the moon with happiness, as it has been a long-time dream of mine to come here, and I travelled all the way from Moldova to fulfill it. ​I was absolutely charmed by its beauty and imposing energy. This place charged me up for the next half a year! I am happy and deeply grateful for this wonderful day spent here. ​Nature lovers and explorers will certainly enjoy this experience. ​A few tips: I recommend buying tickets in advance—at least one or two days ahead. If you want to secure a specific day or time slot, book three to four days, or even a week, in advance. ​Today, October 19th, the temperature was quite warm. I was wearing jeans and a t-shirt and had a vest with me, which I took off during the climb. The trail from the entrance point to the crater is not long and is not complicated; even children can manage it. ​Vesuvius is a true gem of Italy and will forever remain in my heart.

You have to park and pay the shuttle fee to get to the trail head, otherwise you walk the road itself to get to the hike. Very lose dirt/rocks on the path. Path is steep but worth the views! Wait to shop until you get to the summit, great hand made souvenirs and shirts/hoodies. Snacks and drinks available at 2 locations, trail head and summit.
Scott B — Google review
If driving up take care roads are poor and bus drivers are brutal . Honking horn beware and wait. Parking at top.Tourist outlets and refreshments available . One tourist was complaining as no Lava was visible. Really!!!! Must have thought it was Dante’s Peak . As the main attraction in Naples I would not miss it it’s unique and pretty awe inspiring.
William H — Google review
Took about an hour to walk up steadily and slow pace, not rocky though steep and no rush to reach the top. Cloudy but no rains today which was good, parking is problematic and not the best organised, toilets are a few but mobile type, they should really invest in proper facilities especially with so much tourism and people spending money to come here. Nevertheless great views and some smoke coming from the mountain itself, though some morning mist too and clouds.
R M — Google review
This is a unique experience. Climbing an active volcano is not something you do every day (unless you are a vulcanologist). I think it fair to say that Vesuvius is Europe's best known active volcano. We drove to a parking area, roughly half way up the mountain (best reserve beforehand) from where you take a bus but you have to climb the final section on your legs and it is quite steep and slippery in places. At the top you can walk around the rim and see the fumeroles of gaa escaping from the sides of the caldera, The rim path is well fenced of course and there is even a coffee shop at the top.
Bernard S — Google review
Booked parking ticket €7 on line, gives you a 2 hour time slot 🚗. You can walk from the carpark to the summit or pay to take a minibus further up 🌋 (return trip) to the point where you have to walk. We also had an audio guide which talked about the previous eruptions. It is a steep walk, but plenty of places to look out to Naples, Pompeii & Herculaneum. There is also a couple of refreshment / souvenir stops 🍷on route to the summit. There was some steam exiting part of the crater which smelt a bit eggy (sulphur). A must do, great trip.

Arch of Trajan

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Monuments & Statues
The Arch of Trajan, a Roman gateway constructed in 114 A.D. to honor Emperor Trajan, is a well-preserved landmark in Benevento. The city's historical significance is evident through its ecclesiastical dominion and unique cultural identity shaped by the church's power. Visitors can explore other preserved monuments like the Roman Theatre and the Castle while enjoying natural landscapes such as Matese Regional Park and Taburno-Camposauro Nature Reserve.
A very historic arch that has stood for decades; nearly 2000 years. Benevento is a unique town fettered with history. Most attractions are within walking distance. This arch is not to be missed. You can find out more about the arch by visiting old church ruins/building just down the road (Monumental complex of Saint’llario a Port’Aurea. Get a €6 adult or €4 per younger person which gives you access to other worth visiting museums in Benevento.

The Arch is in the pedestrian zone ( no cars) you are free to walk the area. It’s is known as/for la Strega witch or witch city. There is plenty of spots in the area for street side refreshments and more formal options.

We visited Benavento as a part of the FAI national program. There were several palaces to see, one which had a display of 18th and 19th century costumes. The building in my picture below is in desperate need of reconstruction and there really wasn’t much there to look at. The Roman arch is well repaired and visible from all angles.

Very beautiful and peaceful. Great views and cool breeze! Restaurant was closed when we went. Take water. Dress modestly or they give you paper cover ups to go in.

A sanctuary on the top of the mountain. That's the Italian way of building churches. Created around 1200's-1500's this is the most beautiful place to pray and contemplate the beauty of the nature,fresh air, and a magnificent landscape view of cities such us Mercogliano, summomte and Avellino. That's not all, from here, you can see the naples beach and island and the volcano. Moreover, the sanctuary is full of history and beautiful images.
