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.

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.

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.

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

Ruins of Pompei

Mentioned on 
+13 other lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Foro di Pompei, located in the ancient city of Pompeii, offers a captivating glimpse into Roman life. The well-preserved ruins include temples, municipal buildings, and the basilica at the social and civic center of the town. Buried under volcanic ash from Vesuvius' eruption in AD 79, visitors can wander through Roman streets and explore houses, shops, cafes, amphitheaters, and even a brothel.
Amazing, we had a guide and walked only down 1 road. Definitely need a few days to complete it all. Minimal shelter from the heat, but does provide water fountains. Lots of history and story telling. Cobbled floor, so where flats
Kelly — Google review
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.
Boxa N — Google review

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.

Craig G — Google review
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. :)
Michael N — Google review
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

The nearby botanic Gardens of Augustus offer breathtaking panoramic views that include the Faraglioni Islands emerging from the sea.

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.

Giardini di Augusto, also known as the Gardens of Augustus, is a picturesque botanical garden located in Capri. The garden offers sweeping views of the sea and the village of Marina Piccola below. It features a footpath that leads to the village and provides a classic view of the Faraglioni rock formations.
No queue to entry, tickets can be purchased at a vending machine right outside (no cash accepted).The only wait i had to do is to take pictures at the watch points. The garden is not so big, but the view is breathtaking. 😄 Right next to the garden you will find the roof top bar which has excellent cocktails next to the same mesmerising view.
Hilda P — Google review
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!
JB R — Google review
€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.
Tina S — Google review
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)
Evan — Google review
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.
Pavan N — Google review
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.

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!

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 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

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).
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.

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!
Sylvia D — Google review
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.

Underground Naples

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Drew Y — Google review
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.

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.

What an amazing place. You will need more than one day to see everything. Easy to fet to if you use the metro. Magnificent statues and sculptures. The mummy section is definitely a must. I can't recommend this place enough.

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.

Mergellina e Porto di Sannazaro offers a delightful escape from the vibrant chaos of Naples' historic center. Strolling along the Lungomare, a picturesque waterfront promenade, you can soak in stunning views of Mount Vesuvius while enjoying the fresh sea breeze. This scenic 3 km stretch begins at Santa Lucia and meanders to Caracciolo, making it perfect for leisurely walks or an afternoon passeggiata.

The best part of Napoli. The most expensive neighborhood and well justified since it is beautiful all year round. Great view of Vesuvius and Capri. Perfect place for a walk by the sea, for spotting ships in the sea and sea birds in the sky. Nearby are some of the best pizzerias and pasticerias in town.

After a bus tour around Naples, we stopped for a drink and a bite to eat a at harbour side resturante . With a clear veiw of Mount Vesuvius. The fishing and leisure boats and yahts bobbing on the clear water of the bay. We ordered baguettes and pizzas and Beers. You can't say bad things about Italian food it's all just nice. There where a few harbour side resturanres all serving the same sort of food. The locals where entertaining , by just being very Italian. A beggar who wandered straight through the middle of the tables and chairs, (we where sat outside) had a strange affect on the locals. They stopped talking immediately and put there hands in their pockets and purses and just gave their money to him. He was on crutches and mumbling. The waiters even helped him. My mate told him too trot on. It was weird.. Anyhoo!. We had a nice meal and a few pints and walked to the hotel in the heat of the day.

Royal Palace of Caserta

Mentioned on 
+67 other lists 
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!
Shahnoosh R — Google review
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!!!

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.

From far it's looking beautiful. But from near, you can see the dirt inside the water. We walk along the beach but it doesn't get better. I think, the fishermans throw to much inside the water and it ends up to the beach. Not worth to visit!

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.

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!

I really liked this place. You can play with dogs, however i don't reccomend going there on crowded days if you want to play with a dog that is not yours. The reasoning behind that is- that when there are too many people, they cannot keep track of the dog that you are taking care of/playing with. All in all, I think this place is splendid.If you already have a dog, and you want your dog to encounter other dogs and build a bond, this is the place to be. Also, this place is perfect for a picnic too. The only thing I haven't enjoyed was that there was poop everywhere. Not welcoming? Nope! There are further more advantages to this place than disadvantages, so I would rate this place a 4 or 5.

Terrible and quite disturbing. This is a puppy farm, sugar coat it how you’d like. I saw the mums of two litters and they were so frightened cowering on the floor shaking. The people were dragging them out to show us! Then when we weren’t interested they tried to barter on price like a knock off handbag. Over bred and filthy, handling puppies that were days old. We went out of peak season so I suppose they were caught somewhat off guard. I would not support this with a single penny of my money.

This museum is the result of many people’s work and effort to present the collection of various military artefacts. A part of the displays shows the development of the Italian army during the 20th century, which is very interesting. The range of the military history the museum tries to cover is impressing, the balance between depth and width is admirable. The staff is very helpful. The friendly atmosphere and the great view over this beautiful part of Italy, make the trip worthwhile. Very much recommendable!

This is the most amazing, in depth, and intimate war museum we have ever visited. In a small building, and an exterior shop area, there is an amazing collection of uniforms, pocket items, tools, equipment and arms. I’d dare say this is more impressive and emotional than any other, particularly due to the devotion of its owner/curator Johnny. He’s spent 45 year assembling this collection. This visit was an unplanned and happy accident that turned out to be a major high point of our three weeks in Italy. Johnny Capone, thank you for such a gracious and personal tour of your museum. Grazie mille!

I had the best time at this museum! The museum owner, Johnny, was really helpful and told me all these amazing facts! He is so passionate, and it is clear that he spent a lot of time building this museum. From the incredible uniforms that he had to travel the world to acquire, to the amazing gun collection he has, it is an extraordinary place to see what was really going on in the world wars. There are even videos in most rooms of some of the uses of the guns or videos of the Italian fascists. He also has a workshop outside where he restores old military vehicles (mostly planes), with one almost sky-worthy! He is really doing an amazing job, and it is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

The Museum has a Deep attention to Historical Detail, all Historical Pieces are originals with no Replicas, the collection of Uniforms and Weapons Is impressive and contains both rare and unique Pieces (Like One of the only 5 MP40/I submachine guns still existing) Anyone with passion for History in general and military History in particular should take a detour and visit this.

One of the most important museum of the International War. All exhibits are preserved in an extraordinary way. The sculptures of the artist Luigi Venturini are also of great value.

Sanctuary
Nature & Parks
The Sanctuary of Montagna Spaccata, also known as the Split Mountain, is a dramatic cliff face with steps leading down to a seaside chapel dedicated to a 16th-century saint. It is considered one of the wonders of Gaeta and is surrounded by fanciful legends. The area is also known as the Pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea and has strong connections to classical mythology.
The Sanctuary of the Holy Trinity at Montagna Spaccata, located in Gaeta, is a place of extraordinary beauty and spirituality. The sanctuary is about a 10-minute walk from the nearest parking lot, located on Via Santissima Trinità. Admission is free, allowing everyone to explore this sacred place without additional costs. It is advisable to have coins available for a free offering for the maintenance of the sanctuary. An architectural masterpiece nestled between the rocks of the mountain, the sanctuary offers a breathtaking view of the sea and an atmosphere of peace and devotion. The vertical cracks in the rock, which give Montagna Spaccata its name, create a unique and evocative environment. Inside, the frescoes and works of sacred art tell stories of faith and miracles, transporting visitors on a spiritual journey through the centuries.

Worth a visit. I recommend reading up on the history of the place online (a lot of info card are only in Italian), or you can use Google translate camera. Knowing the facts enriches the experience quite a bit.

It's a bit tricky to get to but worth it. According to legend, the Montagna Spaccata (cracked mountain) split in two at the moment of Christ's crucifixion.

A must if you are ever in Gaeta! Beautiful views and an incredible story behind it. If you are staying in Gaeta Medievale it is a worthwhile hike with amazing old ruins along the way. Make sure to take cash as it is free entry, but it is customary to leave an offering/donation.

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!!

Abbey of Casamari

Mentioned on

Monastery
Sights & Landmarks
Abbey of Casamari, a Cistercian monastery dating back to 1200, was elevated to a minor Basilica in 1957. Situated on the grounds of an ancient Roman town dedicated to the goddess Ceres, it was transformed into an Abbey by Benedictine monks. The abbey features a library housing rare books and an archaeology museum.
Spectacular! You won't regret the visit. Free entry. No tickets required. Go to the souvenir shop at the gate before leaving and buy some products of the abbey.

Another of the Benedictine monasteries in the area - and one of the stops on the Cammino di San Benedetto (The Saint Benedict Trail) a 300 km walk which starts in Norcia and finishes in Montecassino. It's a beautiful building but you do need to check opening times because the apothecary shop is not always open and the same goes for the church and grounds. If you can get in, it's really a treat - oh, and buy some of the liqueur made by the monks. I think it's called the Emperor's tincture. It's very high in alcoholic content and great for a whole range of ailments - so they tell me!

A beautiful monastery and a place of deep silence and real prayer. God resides in this place; in his holy tabernacle and in the hearts of his Benedictine monks.

Remarkable abbey, which totally deserves a visit. You'll be able to take in the imposing and medieval romanesque church, the cloister, the chapterhouse, and the refectory
