I loved it here, being in prayer almost for a week, the staff knew me very well, even the priests and nuns (: It was an honor to worship and see the different Mass of languages, only wish they had English Mass though, it’s very rare. Other than that, be aware …it’s best to go early morning, when they open or when they are about to close. It can get very crowded, especially the weekends. St. Micheal archangel favorite color is RED! Don’t forget to buy a chaplet and pray on the other part where he appeared. Stay blessed - Esme from America 📿✝️🫂

8/29/2025: I am on Jubilee Pilgrimage with 37 of my fellow pilgrims. Today I saw an image... Who do you see? What I can clearly see is the rock image of 🙏 St. Padre Pio depicted on the masonry wall looking down at the entrance way of the original St. Michael the Archangel Church. I can see his eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, and his beard. The caretaker for 30-years never saw this image until today. I wanted to share this image to everyone in the world... God bless us all!

Definitely a must- visit sacred place. It was too crowded due to the Feast and the Jubilarian Year. Yep! Not May 8th but Sept 29th. Prepare to descend and return in stairs.

Beautiful place. There were too many tourists. I would have liked some quiet to pray, but a guide was giving a lecture to a group of tourists in the grotto. I think that was inappropriate. There should be no talking in that area. I waited 45 minutes for them to leave and it was better when they had left. I feel there should be more respect in holy places. Definitely a good place to go. Not open early for prayer - opened at 8:30 a.m. We participated in the procession through the town for the feast of Corpus Cristi.

Really beautiful and unique place to visit. You can feel good energy! Perfectly kept with a lot of descriptions to prepare your visit and create your time for meditating and praying. If you enter the grotto you’ll also receive a plenary and perpetual indulgence. The only small minus is the closing time for lunch break. I’ve visited many sanctuaries and monasteries and did a lot of pilgrimages and I’ve never seen something like that in a sacred place. Especially, as this is a destination is for pilgrims!! Be sure to organize your trip accordingly and do not arrive during the break to ensure to have the time to visit the entire complex (museums also close for lunch break!!!)

So far yet so nearer to God in the solemn singing during holy hour

Amazing place- not only for catholic people

Free to enter. Gift shop at the end of the crpyt and church tour. There is an area for blessings and we went to a mass in italian at 10am on a thursday.

Very nice prayerful. Nice museum with many padre pio relics

Went here as part of the pilgrimate tour, to see the St. Padre Pio. It was a 5-hour drive from Rome. The church was beautiful and there’s a museum upstairs where you can see how St Padre Pio lives in the church and the cross where he got his stigmata while he was praying. They also put some pictures to describe the life of St, Padre. There’s a big and modern sanctuary behind the church with amazing architecture and where you can enjoy a very good view of the town from the hill. Under the sanctuary, you can see the body of St. Padre Pio upclose from behind the glass. People line up and pray here. On top of the hill there is a big hospital that were build from the donation to the church. If you are going with the tour bus, the bus will have to park at the bus parking and then we go with a shuttle bus to the church. They don’t allow the outside bus to stop in front of the church anymore.

We are talking about a Sanctuary City high on the hills of San Giovanni Rotondo where Padre Pio, the most important Saint of this century (XX) was born and lived to cure the poor. He made a Hospital City very big and then people made a church then a Big Church then a Super Church (Architect Renzo Piano) with his name where thousands pilgrims visit the whole year

The new church is incredibly beautiful. Marvelous mosaics and a beatiful statue of San Pio. But much more important than this: this church is full of grace. The energetic density is very high and can be sensed as soon as you enter the building. After two minutes inside I started to cry for no reason. This is Grace that makes the unconscious sorrow conscious. On a spiritual path this is called purification. During mass the energy level gets even higher. So, walk inside, admire the mosaics and the statue, but know: the most valuable here is invisible! 🙏🙏

Beautiful murals that help you contemplate and pray

So amazingly solemn place

(Translated by Google) Personal prayer is continually disturbed, in every celebration, by people who are one with their cell phones! The thing that saddens me most is to see that there is no religious figure who teaches (there would be the means) what it means to be in the House of God. It is an infinite sadness that I have carried forward for the years in which I have frequented the Sanctuary; Unfortunately everything is becoming "a spectacle" and Padre Pio doesn't deserve this🥺 (Original) La preghiera personale è continuamente disturbata, in ogni celebrazione, da persone che sono tutt'uno con il proprio cellulare! La cosa che mi rattrista di più è vedere che non esista una figura religiosa che insegni (i mezzi ci sarebbero) cosa vuol dire stare nella Casa di Dio. È una tristezza infinita che porto avanti da anni nei quali frequento il Santuario; sta diventando tutto purtroppo "uno spettacolo" e questo Padre Pio non lo merita🥺

(Translated by Google) The holy place where Padre Pio received the stigmata for the rest of his life is a place full of reflection and certainly full of prayers, a must-have place on the map of every person who is there. There is also Padre Pio's cell and a lot of souvenirs and private things from him. Many paintings and many rooms to visit and certainly leave your intentions, thanksgiving and prayers there. At every step you will definitely feel the person of Padre Pio who will show you around this place. In Saint Padre Pio's cell I would be haunted by Mary and Jesus, as well as by Satan, with whom I had to fight many battles, and Padre Pio always emerged victorious, defeating Satan. (Original) Swiete miejsce gdzie O.Pio otrzymal stygmaty na reszte zycia,to jest miejsce pelne zadumy i napewno pelne modlitwy,⛪️😇obowiazkowe miejsce na mapie kazdej osoby bedacej tam. Jest tam rowniez cela O.Pio i naprawde mnustwo pamiatek czy tez prywatnych rzeczy wlasnie po nim. Wiele obrazow i wiele pomieszczen w ktore trzeba zajzec i napewno zostawic tam swoje intencje,dziekczynienia i modlitwy. Na kazdym kroku napewno czuc osobe O.Pio ktory bedzie was oprowadzal po tym miejscu😇w celi sw O.Pio bym nawiedzany przez Maryje i Jezusa,rowniez przez szatana z ktorym staczal nie jeden boj z ktorego zawsze O.Pio wychodzil zwyciezko pokonujac szatana.

(Translated by Google) the not only spiritual but also historical value of this place is enormous. it is worth visiting not only for devotees of Padre Pio. (Original) il valore non solo spirituale ma anche storico di questo luogo è enorme. vale la pena visitarlo non solo per i devoti di padre Pio.

(Translated by Google) Inside the convent's crypt, Padre Pio's body is venerated during the winter months, from the last Sunday in November until Easter. During the rest of the year, it is transferred to the Padre Pio Sanctuary, built by Renzo Piano, in what is commonly known as the Lower Basilica. Along the votive path, you can worship the "Cell" with the armchair from which, in the serenity of Sister Death, he departed for Heaven. Inside, on the left, there is a small table, a kneeler, and a handkerchief used by Padre Pio to bless pilgrims from the window located above the sink on the right, as well as a bedside table. A display case holds the slippers he wore until his final hour. Finally, there is a small table and a sink under the "blessings window" and the "armchair" from which he breathed his last breath towards Heaven. Continuing, you come to the "Crucifix of the Stigmata" that Padre Pio held for half a century from September 20, 1918. (Original) All'interno della Cripta del convento nel periodo invernale, che va dall'ultima domenica di novembre alla Pasqua successiva, il corpo di Padre Pio è venerato. Nel resto dell'anno viene traslato nel Santuario di Padre Pio costruito da Renzo Piano, in quella che comunemente è definita la Basilica inferiore. Lungo il percorso votivo si può adorare la "Cella" con la poltroncina da cui, nella serenità di sorella morte, partì per il Paradiso. All'interno vi sono, a sinistra, un tavolino, un inginocchiatoio e un fazzoletto usato da Padre Pio per benedire i pellegrini dalla finestra che è collocata sul lavabo a destra e un comodino. In una teca sono conservate le pantofole calzate sino all'ultima ora della sua vita. Infine troviamo un tavolinetto, un lavabo, sotto la "finestra delle benedizioni" e la "poltroncina a braccioli" da dove spirò verso il Paradiso. Proseguendo si arriva al "Crocifisso delle Stimmate" che Padre Pio sostenne per mezzo secolo dal 20 settembre 1918.

(Translated by Google) It is always nice to return to San Giovanni Rotondo to visit San Pio. Divine Mercy Saturday and Sunday. There couldn't have been better days. A unique energy recharge. Convent always teeming with faithful pilgrims just like me and my wife. It is wonderful to hear the mix of different languages, as well as to imagine that in a queue of people, thousands and thousands of kilometers of travel can be accumulated. Every kilometer does not weigh, the journey is light for everyone, no one has made a sacrifice, everyone indeed, for that handful of seconds spent in the presence of Saint Pio, blesses every cm travelled, every minute of waiting and every moment spent in front of him. May she always be alone in our lives. (Original) Sempre bello è ritornare a San Giovanni Rotondo per far visita a San Pio. Sabato e domenica della Divina Misericordia. Giornate migliori non potevano esserci. Una ricarica di energia unica. Convento sempre brulicante di fedeli pellegrini proprio come me e mia moglie. È stupendo sentire la mescolanza di lingue differenti, così come immaginare che in una coda di gente, possono essere cumulati migliaia e migliaia di km di trasferta. Ogni km non pesa, il viaggio è per tutti leggero, nessuno ha fatto un sacrificio, ognuno anzi, per quella manciata di secondi trascorsi al cospetto di San Pio, benedice ogni cm percorso, ogni minuto di attesa ed ogni attimo passato davanti a lui. Sia sempre sole nelle nostre vite.

(Translated by Google) A must-see for prayer and visits to Padre Pio. (Original) Obowiązkowy punkt modlitwy i zwiedzania u Ojca Pio.

(Translated by Google) Something unique and special.. (Original) Qualcosa di unico e speciale..

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

Remarkably good experience with very enthusiastic guides

(Translated by Google) Beautiful castle of Frederick II that cannot yet be visited in its entirety. In addition to the imposing structure typical of the castles of Frederick II, it is the use inside that is striking: with a passport of a person who really existed they make you make his journey as an emigrant to America. Very interesting especially for school groups. (Original) Bellissimo castello Federiciano non ancora visitabile per intero. Oltre la struttura imponente tipica dei castelli di Federico II , è l uso all interno che colpisce: con un passaporto di una persona veramente esistita ti fanno fare il suo viaggio da emigrante verso l America. Molto interessante soprattutto per le scolaresche.

The castle is fantastic architecturally speaking and free. Additionally, when we went there was a very interesting and well-done interactive exposition about the migration of "Lucani" to other parts of the world. It is very well done and my husband and I got very attached to the story of the character (real person who moved to New York in the 1880s). The interactive exhibition was a great idea and very well organized, so kudos to the region or province. The personnel was also super friendly and attentive.

(Translated by Google) A fantastic visit to a beautifully restored castle of Frederick II. Inside there is also an interactive multimedia path of Lucanian immigrations of the early 1900s to the Americas. Truly an experience to do. While waiting for the opening time we also did one of the nature trails around the castle. (Original) Una visita fantastica ad un castello di Federico II ottimamente ristrutturato. All'interno c'è anche un percorso interattivo multimediale delle immigrazioni lucane del primo 900 verso le Americhe. Davvero una esperienza da fare. Nell' attesa dell'orario di apertura siamo fatti anche uno dei sentieri naturalistici intorno al castello.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful experience... A part of the castle is open to the public, with free admission. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! The Emigrant Museum has been set up in one wing of the castle. It's a lovely visit, with videos, photos, and many interactive features. (Original) Bella esperienza... Una parte del castello è aperta al pubblico, con entrata libera. Personale gentile, preparato e disponibile! In un'ala del castello è stato allestito il museo dell'emigrante. Bello da visitare, con video, foto e tante parti interattive.

(Translated by Google) Lagopesole Castle (PZ) was one of the favourite places of Emperor Frederick II, who loved to take refuge there to devote himself to the art of hunting. The fascinating medieval manor, nestled on a hill guarding the Ofanto and Bradano rivers, is admired for its being a massive rectangular block. The fortress is divided into two floors and characterised by two courtyards, a larger one, including a cistern and a chapel, and a smaller one containing an imposing keep. In the 19th century the castle was the refuge of Carmine Crocco's bandits; today it is home to cultural initiatives such as an interesting Narrante Museum. (Original) Il castello di Lagopesole (PZ) fu uno dei luoghi preferiti dall’imperatore Federico II, che amava rifugiarvisi per dedicarsi all’arte venatoria. L’affascinante maniero medievale, adagiato su una collinetta a guardia dei fiumi Ofanto e Bradano, si lascia ammirare per il suo essere un massiccio blocco rettangolare. Il fortilizio è articolato su due piani e caratterizzato da due cortili, uno maggiore, comprendente una cisterna e una cappella, e uno minore contenente un imponente dongione. Nell’Ottocento il castello fu il rifugio dei briganti di Carmine Crocco; oggi è sede di iniziative culturali come un interessante Museo Narrante.

(Translated by Google) A castle that may be simple, but with great mystical significance. The Palatine Chapel, used for exhibitions, is beautiful. (Original) Un castello magari semplice ma con una grande valenza mistica. Bella la Cappella Palatina utilizzata per mostre.

(Translated by Google) I can't believe admission is free. The largest of the castles built by Frederick II, surrounded by beautiful forests with nature trails. Situated on a hilltop with breathtaking views. I visited during an exhibition (also free) on the emigration of people from Basilicata (and beyond). A truly well-crafted, touching, and engaging exhibition, which, however, could use more English captions. (Original) Non riesco a credere che l'ingresso sia gratuito. Il più grande dei castelli fatti costruire da Federico II, circondato da splendide foreste con percorsi naturalistici. Situato su una collina dalla quale si gode di una vista mozzafiato. Visitato durante una mostra (anche questa gratuita) sull'emigrazione delle genti della Basilicata (e non solo). Mostra davvero ben fatta, toccante, coinvolgente, che tuttavia necessiterebbe di più didascalie in lingua inglese.

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…

Although closed by WWF you can just walk in enjoy this magnificent waterfall!!! A beauty in only 1.9 km walk !!

Super

(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.

(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.

(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...

(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.

(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...

Amazing example of Lombard architecture.

Superb complex building, brilliantly restored. A real feel for what is was like when first constructed.

Very beautiful church in the center of the city. We were there for a wedding and the whole wedding ceremony was amazing.

A beautiful square with a old church.

Amazing church and very interesting museum with a lot of cool information about the history of benevento

Beautiful little church, on a picturesque Italian square.

Saint Sophia Church is part of UNESCO since 2011 to visit this church is a privilege.

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.

Amazing Trajan arc - and absolute must see. Incredibly well preserved.

This is an amazing example of the incredible building powers of the Romans. It's in such great condition and a lovely open location and nicely looked after. A must visit if your in the area.

Let's you imagine the glorious Roman past as it was built between 114 and 117 (as per wikipedia). Nice little place to visit. Perfect for pictures. Has many awesome coffee shops nearby that makes the place worth the visit when in Benevento.

A small archeological exposition nearby, free of charge.

Beautiful work from roman times.

It's Ok if you get the day of discount! You can find cheap but old shoes.. The stuff have to be more polite!

Top prices. Absolutely worth it. Also I don't know why I put a review for a shop in Salerno. Nobody speaks English. But at least I will get points in google reviews and I will gain absolutely nothing and I will feel good.

Wide selection of things,prices not so cheap,there is a long line for entering the shop

Messy. Unclean. Personnel is busy hugging & shaking hands with their acquaintances who stopped by. Very limited selection of shoes - there is only one pair if each model ( couple of times I found a second one of the same size in diagonally opposite place). Even new - not "refurbished" - items look worn.

Nice big shop in an ideal shopping mall. Plenty to see and buy at a very affordable price. I was there on a very busy day, but it looked like they were short of staff, as I needed help but no staff on the shopping floor to assist me, they had a couple of guys serving at the checkout desk, it was a good experience all in all. :)

Came here many times, every time it is full of people fighting for the items which are never actually in discount but small discount. Found more discounts of Nike in Milano or Spain.

Kevin is the best! I went to purchase shoes for ovs and he processed my cash back paper very quickly!

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.

Beautiful surroundings. Highly recommended.

Emozionante, facilmente raggiungibile, ben organizzato, pulito. Mi è piaciuta moltissimo la cripta con le reliquie dei Santi, in particolare San Modestino. Exciting, easily accessible, well organized, clean. I really liked the crypt with the relics of the saints, especially San Modestino. On the spot you will find a bar, stalls with local products. Spannend, leicht zugänglich, gut organisiert, sauber. Mir gefiel die Krypta mit den Reliquien der Heiligen, vor allem San Modestino, wo es eine Bar und Stände mit lokalen Produkten gibt Захватывающий, легкодоступный, хорошо организованный, чистый. Мне очень понравился склеп с мощами святых, особенно Сан-Модестино. На месте вы найдете бар, киоски с местными продуктами.

Beautifil cathedral set in the mountains, in a fantastic place where you can breathe a mystical atmosphere. Wonderful

Nice place to visit. If you don't want to hassle with italian traffic just take cableway from the bottom of the mountain.

I felt very uplifted, blessed coming to the sanctuary of montevergine. Everything about this place is just spectacular. I’m very happy that my father in law took me to this place.

Very cute park, not huge but big enough to spend an afternoon, it's not crowded on weekends. There is a restaurant, a bar and you are able to rent a canoe for 2 people for 12 Eur (30 mins) . The water is very clear but you cannot swim in it. Altogether a nice stop, there is a pic nic area and the entrance to the park it's free

This is a very relaxing and amazing place. The river has bright and amazing colours. It is not allowed to swim into the river. However you can hire a canoa. During the weekend it is pretty full of people.

Super crowded place, pretty uncomfortable, annoying constant noise from parrots and smoke from barbecues all around. Definitely not recommended, especially if long drive. Parking is a mess also.

Great time with friends drinking, eating and doing all available activities. We went canoeing, horseriding and made good use of the bbq.

The park was really beautiful, there are so many things to do such as canoeing, bbq, having a picnic and playing in the park. There is also a restaurant and a bar. There are many animals, plants and trees; it was really clean and lovely. It is great for family and couples

Perfect for a day out in nature but close to towns. Equipped with bbqs outdoor, the restaurant is also very good

Nice park. Lots of different wildlife. Plenty of shade. Many different BBQ Areas. Kayaking. The water is always cool... Some muskrats moved in recently. The restaurant is also good.

Not bad for 7€ per person, the audio guide tells you about the history of the place, there's more to see than just the church, we visited the church and the nearby monastery.

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

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.

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.

Don’t miss the crypt - truly amazing! Never seen anything like it!

We visited on a weekday, and fortunately, due to lunchtime, the church was nearly empty, making it incredibly easy for us to take pictures and then sit and relax in the tranquility of the environment. The marble work was exceptional, and the artistic details were simply stunning.

Lovely park between Lungomare and Via Roma.

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.

Very nice place to sit and rest !!! It has magical Christmas decoration! I adore the Garden of Salerno!!!!

It's a small park, but gorgeous and well maintained. Lush vegetation and a small turtle pond. ,👏🏻🌴

An amazing moment of the year (December)

Nicely laid out park with fish & turtle pond. A good place to take a break from the sun.

Such a nice and magical place! So many rare plants and just a beautiful atmosphere!

Beautiful garden! It’s worth the walk to get there.

Lovely walk. A proper explorative walk of the gardens will take around 2 hrs. I thought there was some similarity between the Park Güell arches and those of the English garden of the Royal Palace of Caserta. There are also interesting links between nature and a "lost" world, with arcane atmospheres recurrent in modern TV series, e.g., Lost, etc., somewhat surprising, given that these gardens were done in 1786...

Nestled at the very end of the your trip through the palace park. Definitely worth the hard work of traversing the entirety of the park. Stunning grotto awaits and rewards your hard work of navigating through the English garden.

Beautiful garden. Be prepared for a long walk (1-2hours)

The fountain and the garden are very beautiful. The walk to the fountain seemed like a longer walk with kids so we took the bus the line wasn't very long for the bus. I very much enjoyed the gardens and how beautiful the scenery was.

The English garden is a must-see garden! Take the time out of your life to visit this wonderful 18th English garden with its parkland form packed full of amazing surprises. From the 18th beehive courtyard to the water lily pond and the "ancient" ruins, I was captivated by every step through this garden. I'm so pleased I took the time to visit it. For €9 per person, I think it's an absolute steal! Visiting tips 1. If you have the time and the energy, walk from the palace to the English garden. It is approximately 2km, slightly uphill, but you'll see some amazing waterfalls and sculpture along the way. 2. If you just want to see the English garden and don't have time to walk from the palace, the shuttle bus takes you there from the palace for just €2.50 each way. 3. Make sure you find the bath of Venus in the garden. It's truly stunning. 4. If you need a bite to eat or a drink in the hot sun, there is a bar restaurant outside the English garden near to the Diana fountain which is reasonably priced.

Stunning... Nature jam in the heart of caserta. Green and blue- trees and lakes/ponds artificial and natural. The pitty is that the last entrance is at 14:30 and the place is closed by 15:30... (Can get there by the shuttle from the palace just pay attention- last shuttle taking of at 16:15).

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.

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.

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!!!

The Foro di Pompei is the beating heart of the ancient city a wide-open plaza that instantly transports you to Roman times. Surrounded by the ruins of temples, public buildings and markets, the Forum offers a compelling sense of what daily life might have been like nearly 2,000 years ago before Mount Vesuvius buried the city in ash. It’s both grand and haunting. You stand where merchants once sold their goods, where politicians addressed the crowd and where citizens gathered under the shadow of the once-proud temples to Jupiter and Apollo. What’s left of the columns and facades still echoes with history. From the Forum, you also get one of the most dramatic views of Vesuvius a quiet but constant reminder of the city’s tragic fate. The space is well preserved and clearly signposted. It’s central to most of the other ruins, so it’s a good starting or ending point for your visit. Try to visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the crowds and enjoy the changing light on the ancient stones. Tip: Bring water, wear good walking shoes and if you’re keen on deeper context, a guided tour with Mario is the way to go which really brings the Forum and its significance to life. A must-see highlight of Pompeii simple yet deeply moving.

A must-see for anyone interested in Roman history. Highly recommend reserving a guided tour ahead of time. If you are traveling with luggage, you can leave it for free in a room in the entrance way.

Beautiful ruins with columns still standing giving an ominous reminder how ornate and gorgeous this city really was!

The site was really big and it was interesting, but whatever the service was wasn’t. The audioguide was definitely necessary, and we bought tickets online and the lady there told us to redeem the audioguides at the ticket counter (which was false) and my boyfriend went and bought 2 audio guides, just to be told later our audio guides were included in the package and they refused to refund us. Just a heads up to whoever is visiting please check your ticket details carefully.

Amazing location to explore. Our guide was fantastic and made the experience unforgettable.

Once the bustling heart of Pompeii – politics, gossip, trade, and gods all crammed into one square. Now? Just sunburnt tourists wondering where Mount Vesuvius is hiding behind their selfie stick. It’s oddly quiet for a place where half the town’s drama went down – but easy to imagine a guy here trying to haggle for two goats and a loaf of bread. :)

The buildings seem a bit old and empty, but the ambient is amazing. There weren’t any staff present in the original taverns, brothels and public baths - i think it had to do something with the volcano erupting few hundred years ago. The locals were always still as a stone

An alley full of souvenirs from Naples. Definitely worth a visit despite some of the kitschy products. A visit to Naples is not complete without a visit to this alley.

An alley of traditional art and souvenirs, very cool to see the movement of some. Recommend to visit...

Lively street famous for its handmade nativity scenes and artisan shops. Full of charm and tradition, it’s a must-visit to experience Naples’ unique craftsmanship and festive spirit year-round.

Beautiful little street with everlasting Christmas decorations (many handmade) all year long. Christmas lasts forever here. Perfect for some memorable takeaways or simply making memories if you love Christmas.

Beautiful scenes from nativity and some modern ones too. You can also buy one for home if you like Hats off to the artists. Enjoyable for kids.

It’s a narrow medieval lane that connects two of the old city’s main roads: Via dei Tribunali and Via San Biagio dei Librai. On both sides you’ll see old buildings with arches, balconies, and traditional Neapolitan façades. The atmosphere is always lively, with the street full of both locals and tourists.

Great street cramped full of shops selling Christmas things and other great things . A visual treat and a must for any visit to Naples

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.

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.

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.

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".....

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.

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.

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 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.

Another artistic treasure in Naples, so much to see it was overwhelming! The intricate detail is astounding!! Definitely worth a look see!!

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.

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.

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.

A small but charming monastery in the heart of Naples. The famous courtyard, which is usually the highlight, was unfortunately under construction during my visit, which took away some of the atmosphere. Still, it’s a peaceful and beautiful spot, offering a welcome break from the busy streets outside. The adjoining church is very impressive and definitely worth a visit.

This was on my to-do list in Napoli and I'm glad we visited. For 7 euros tickets, it's totally worth it. You start in a movie room that tells you the history of the monastery and then you walk between drawings carved on the walls from a side and ceramic tiles on the others. The garden is amazing and has lemon and olive trees. There's a small museum and a small archeological site.

A beautiful courtyard to sit and relax in. I didn’t find the ruins interesting as there isn’t anything left to see. The museum inside is small but has some interesting things to check out.

ABSOLUTE MUST TO SEE! Located in the historical center of Naples. Vast, Gothic and cleverly deceptive, the mighty Basilica di Santa Chiara stands at the heart of this tranquil monastery complex. The church was severely damaged in WWII: what you see today is a 20th-century recreation of Gagliardo Primario's 14th-century original. Adjoining it are the basilica's cloisters, adorned with brightly coloured 17th-century majolica tiles and frescoes. While the Angevin porticoes date back to the 14th century, the cloisters took on their current look in the 18th century thanks to the landscaping work of Domenico Antonio Vaccaro. The walkways that divide the central garden of lavender and citrus trees are lined with 72 ceramic-tiled octagonal columns connected by benches. Painted by Donato and Giuseppe Massa, the tiles depict various rural scenes, from hunting sessions to vignettes of peasant life. The four internal walls are covered with soft, whimsical 17th-century frescoes of Franciscan tales. Adjacent to the cloisters, a small and elegant museum of mostly ecclesiastical props also features the excavated ruins of a 1st-century spa complex, including a remarkably well-preserved laconicum (sauna). Commissioned by Robert of Anjou for his wife Sancia di Maiorca, the monastic complex was built to house 200 monks and the tombs of the Angevin royal family. Dissed as a 'stable' by Robert's ungrateful son Charles of Anjou, the basilica received a luscious baroque makeover by Domenico Antonio Vaccaro, Gaetano Buonocore and Giovanni Del Gaizo in the 18th century. It took a direct hit during an Allied air raid on 4 August 1943 and its reconstruction was completed in 1953. Features that did survive the fire resulting from the bombing include part of a 14th-century fresco to the left of the main door and a chapel containing the tombs of the Bourbon kings from Ferdinand I to Francesco II.

Beautiful tiles with various scenes and figures. When we visited parts were being restored but they left a section open to the public.

Peaceful and stunning — a must-visit in Naples Complesso Monumentale di Santa Chiara is a true oasis in the heart of Naples. The beautiful cloister with its hand-painted majolica tiles is absolutely breathtaking — peaceful, colorful, and full of charm. The museum and archaeological remains add depth to the visit, giving a real sense of the site's long and layered history. Everything is well maintained and thoughtfully presented. If you're looking for a moment of calm away from the city's chaos, this is the perfect spot. Highly recommended!

It was nice and it looked good. Was I mesmerized, no. But the people working there were amazing and did their job like bosses, you can't touch this maiolica. And it is pretty.

Seeing the Faraglioni by boat was one of the best parts of visiting Capri. Sailing past these natural rock formations is breathtaking. The views, the sea breeze, it all adds to a perfect day.

Coming here was a dream come true. I am from a small island from the Caribbean and it amazes me how lucky we are to have so many beautiful places in the world to discover and to enjoy.

Took a half day boat trip, during the trip we saw these as well as many other amazing sites from the water around Capri. Highly recommend doing something similar, also we packed a picnic lunch for our half day trip and it was a great way to spend the morning.

Good view from the boat

you can visit it by boat, and pass through the arch, or just go to one panoramic point.

Get a private boat tour with the local skipper-those guys are knowledgeable, experienced, friendly and very good guides if you want to explore areas around the island.

We saw this rock formation as part of our day trip by boat from Nerano. This tour depart Nerano to Capri where you spend 5 hours on Capri and before you depart, the boat goes around the island and through the archway made by this rock formation. The tour encouraged couples to kiss as we passed through the archway as it gives the couple a good luck wish. They teased it would lead to pregnancy. It's certainly a nice stop as part of a tour.

The gardens of Augustus is a beautiful mountaintop garden which has a few statues and benches but it's main selling point is the view at the top. If you are on a tour and don't have much time I would recommend, as it's easy enough to get to and is a stunning "Instagram worthy" spot. Of course you have to pay to get in which you can do via a QR code or buying tickets. You can pay in your own currency on the app, which I thought was cool. I think £4 for a tiny garden with a view is milking it though, I think it should be done on a donation basis. You'll have people everywhere posing at every which angle so find a few good spots, take some snaps and get out of there!

€2.50 per person for entry and not sure its worth it. It is essentially 10m2 of grass with some flowers, several view points towards the faraglioni and a couple more on the other side towards the Via Krupp. Some good views of the faraglioni rocks but lots of people in the way taking photos of course. The views are just as good at the roof terrace next door and you can have a drink whilst enjoying the view! Win win

Without exaggeration, the best place to relax. A cozy terraced garden with a magnificent view. Perhaps a book in the breeze, or just watching the sharp horizon divide the blue sky from the turquoise water. Not to be missed.

Beautiful views and definitely worth a visit to get some memorable pictures. Lots of places to sit and relax but you’re not allowed to eat there. Entry was €2.5 and definitely worth the views.

Nice and well maintained gardens. Entrance fee of €2,50 a person. Plenty of scenic viewpoints. Make sure to arrive as early as possible to prevent having to navigate the tourist groups that start arriving as early as of 09:30. They open at 09:00, and since it’s a small garden between 09:00 and 09:30 is a very nice window to see it all in all tranquility.(excluding the via Krupp)

After our ferry ride, we made our way to the Garden of Augustus. The views were truly magnificent, and the serene atmosphere made for a perfect escape. The vibrant colors of the flowers against the deep blue of the sea were a sight to behold. However, the experience was slightly marred by the cost of entry. It felt like a bit of a rip-off to pay €2.50 per person for such a small area. What was even more frustrating was the price of water. Having to shell out €2.50 for a tiny 300ml bottle felt like pure exploitation, especially on a hot day. It's a shame that a place of such natural beauty has to resort to such practices to squeeze every penny out of its visitors.

Lovely little garden in an amazing location. The statues and plants are very nice, and the grounds are very well maintained. The really impressive aspect is the surrounding architecture, particularly the switchback ramp leading all 100+ meters down to the sea.

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.

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. You can see the Capri arches , this is definitely a must visit place take your time to enjoy your stay there the food, the breeze, the view the service even the music they play

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.

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

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.

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.

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).

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.

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!

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.

€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.
