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

The mountain is home to diverse flora and fauna, including nesting birds like the Peregrine Falcon and unique species such as the Blue Lizard.
Nice chair lift to the highest point of Anacapri. 20 minutes wait line and on the top we sat for some cold drinks. Lovely views. There's not much to do, but it's worth the 14 euros PP for the ride.
Yuval K — Google review
Monte Solaro offers breathtaking panoramic views—you can see the entire island of Capri and beyond. Access is very easy via the chairlift, which is a lovely experience in itself, providing stunning views throughout the ride. Visiting Monte Solaro is highly recommended — a must-see spot for any Capri visitor.
Giorgos A — Google review
Cable car to the top of Monte Solaro, one of the best views from the whole island of Capri the restaurant there has great bread and wine and food and a little walk to the edge. 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.
Maddy A — Google review
I love the view. Very safe chairlift. It cost 14 euros per person. It takes 14 min to go up and 14 min to go down. U can take ur time at the top to enjoy the view and take pictures. U can try the restaurant overe there as well. By little bit expensive but logical. U can also have a walk down if you dlnt want to take the chair lift for the return. Enjoy your stay in capri
Kawtar B — Google review
Unforgettable experience at Monte Solaro! You reach the summit by a single-seat chairlift from Anacapri — the ride takes about 13 minutes each way, but it’s best to book in advance since lines can be long. The view from the top is absolutely breathtaking, a 360-degree panorama of the sea, Naples, and the island — truly one of the most beautiful sights imaginable. There’s a restaurant at the summit with amazing views, though quite expensive (we paid €7 for a cappuccino). Even the toilets cost €1 to enter, but honestly, the view alone makes it all worth it. A must-do experience on Capri!
Yoav A — Google review
Quick check. View was great and produced nice pics
Yehuda R — Google review
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.

Villa San Michele

Mentioned on 
+34 other lists 
Museum
Park
Villa San Michele, located in Anacapri, is a historic villa known for its ancient art and sculptures. Once owned by Dr. Axel Munthe, the villa features a museum showcasing artifacts like a bust of Emperor Tiberius and an Egyptian Sphinx overlooking the Gulf of Naples. The surrounding gardens are filled with Mediterranean plants and offer breathtaking views of Mount Vesuvius in the distance.
Although the journey there is challenging—especially on foot—it is absolutely worth it. This local gem boasts beautiful architecture and a truly stunning, expansive garden. Building the house in that exact spot was an inspired decision, as it offers a breathtaking view all year round. It is a must-visit.
Mihnea L — Google review
Villa San Michele is where Swedish order meets Italian beauty – with a view so stunning it might cure mild existential crises. Built in the 19th century by Swedish doctor Axel Munthe (clearly a man with a flair for the dramatic), the villa boasts ancient columns, marble sphinxes, and a panorama over the Bay of Naples that could stop time. Just be careful on the terrace – it’s not vertigo or love, it’s the uphill walk catching up with you. :)
Michael N — Google review
If you come to Anna Capri Italy, you must come here and check out this amazing Villa. The history is very interesting. The ruins he brought back from mainland, Italy, and Rome, as well as Pompeii are amazing to look at.
Jerry Z — Google review
Absolutely breathtaking art and views — definitely a must-see if you have the time. There are plenty of great shops and restaurants nearby, as well as the lift to the highest point of Capri. You can take a taxi to the square and then walk about 10 minutes to the museum, or choose to walk the full 50 minutes from Capri’s main square. Be aware, though, that the walk is quite challenging — you’ll need to climb around 986 steps to reach the museum!

Gardens of Augustus

Mentioned on

Garden
Nature & Parks
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
B M — Google review
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.
Attila M — Google review
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.

The nearby botanic Gardens of Augustus offer breathtaking panoramic views that include the Faraglioni Islands emerging from the sea. From this vantage point, visitors can also access the Via Krupp, a historic twisted street leading to Marina Piccola.
This is truly the best of Amalfi Coast. A one hour island tour of Capri is just so mesmerising that you'd like to go back here again & again. Views of the coastline and the grottos are just great and the blue mediterranean water does the magic! Don't miss it for anything.

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 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.

Galleria Borbonica - Ingresso Vico Grottone

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

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

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

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

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.

Opera house
Concerts & Shows
San Carlo Theatre, located near the Royal Palace and Galleria Umberto in Naples, is the oldest continuously running public opera venue globally. Commissioned by King Charles III of Naples and restored after a fire in 1816, it boasts a magnificent Neoclassical building with an opulent horseshoe-shaped auditorium and stunning red and gold furnishings. The venue offers guided tours that include visits to foyers, the main hall, and the royal box.
This was a fantastic tour and visit! The oldest continually operating Opera House in the world! So many interesting facts and details in the tour!! I highly recommend, especially for the price and only 30 minutes to see everything!

If you have the chance take the tour, it’s well explained and you get the opportunity to be in the oldest Theatre in the world, and if you have the chance to see opera or a concert, totally worth it!! I have the chance to find a ticket for Tosca by Puccini and it was absolutely fantastic

This is a review of the disappointing tour, not of the theatre itself. As someone who enjoys opera, I was excited to tour the Teatro di San Carlo. Opening in 1737, it is the oldest continuously-operating opera venue in the world, older than La Scala and La Fenice. I was unhappy with the tour, though. It was only 30 minutes long, given in both Italian and English (cutting the English portion even shorter), included a large group of people and consisted of only 2 spaces. It felt like a cash grab. I see from other pictures that groups were smaller and they were able to go up to the boxes. What gives?

The theater is definitely one of the most beautiful I have ever visited. It is full of history! Everything is perfect and the tour in English is excellent, it lasts about half an hour! The ticket is very affordable, only 10e per person.

What a beautiful location to see a show. Arrive when doors first open so you can enjoy a drink, coffee, or pastry in the theater bar before the show. The music was a beautiful top off to a day in Napoli. The piece of music we listened to was Carnival of the Animals. The musicians played at once and the audience clapped so long. They came back out and played the short finale, a second time. What was wonderful is they were clearly energized by the excitement of the audience and our response and played accordingly. The second rendition was light, albeit a little messier than the first time. But everyone was having fun, including the musicians it was wonderful.

We saw an orchestra show while in Naples for 24 hrs, it was a great experience! Gorgeous theater, great music, and staff were helpful with directing. We were unable to purchase tickets online but bought tickets same day at the ticket office without issues. Appreciate the affordable ticket prices, highly recommend!

Stepping into the Teatro di San Carlo feels like entering a fairytale. This historic opera house, one of the oldest and most prestigious in the world, is a masterpiece of elegance and grandeur. The rich red velvet, the golden balconies, and the dazzling chandelier create an atmosphere that takes your breath away. The acoustics are superb, and the performances match the beauty of the space. It’s more than a theatre — it’s a place where history, art, and magic come together. A must-visit for lovers of culture and beauty.

Very beautiful historical theatre with wonderful acoustic. If you buy tickets to the side boxes make sure it is the first or maximum the second row of the box, otherwise you will see only a part of the scene. Anna Netrebko was perfect as Amelia in Un ballo in maschera by Verdi

Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli

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

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

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

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.

Sansevero Chapel Museum

Art museum
Museums
Sansevero Chapel Museum, located in the heart of Naples, is a hidden gem that might be easily overlooked. Originally built in the 17th century and later remodeled by Prince Raimondo di Sangro in the 18th century, it houses a collection of remarkable sculptures created by renowned artists. The chapel features unique Baroque-style architecture and is home to mysterious and symbolic sculptures, including a veiled Christ made from marble.
impressive... looks surreal... can't belive my eyes it's a whole piece of marble. Last time we were in Naples couldn't get in- worth ordering the tickets beforehand. PS: still can't understand why taking pics is strictly forbidden- one can't remember it all, taking pics, zooming in and studying is a way to extand uour stay long after you're gone. So, here you can see the brand of jewelry that's sold in the shop- not sure it is silver, although they assured me it is- no marks on the btacelet I bought there}
Ani B — Google review
The Veiled Christ sculpture is without a doubt the most impressive. The way the marble looks like a delicate, transparent veil over Jesus is unbelievable. I honestly couldn’t believe it was carved from a single block of marble. It’s one of the most beautiful and emotional pieces of art I’ve ever seen. The other piece that really stood out to me was the one with the marble net (Il Disinganno). The fine detail in the net is just mind blowing. Although the chapel isn’t very big, every part of it is full of intricate art and symbolism. I do wish we could take photos, but I also understand why it’s not allowed, it helps you focus more on the moment. Highly recommend booking in advance, as it can get very crowded. But it’s 100% worth visiting!!
Charlotte N — Google review
The highlight of my trip is Guiseppe Sanmartino’s Veiled Christ in the Sansevero Chapel Museum in the heart of Napoli’s old city. I have been waiting for this moment since for 2 years when i first learnt about this incredible masterpiece. The thinness, fluidity and transparency of the veil, the expression on the face and body of Christ as he laid in the tomb is remarkable and hard to imagine that the material is marble. Very unforgettable an experience. The staff are helpful and excellent in managing crowd flow. The chapel is small and the experience of entering in is intense and mystical. Too bad no photography of any kind is allowed but there were books to purchase at the end. I wish there were more literature on Guiseppe Sanmartino’s life and history. This great craftsman remains a mystery to me for now.

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

Underground Naples

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.

This bustling thoroughfare is lined with traditional cafes, bars, pastry shops, and pizzerias where you can indulge in Naples' signature sweets and aromatic coffee. From Quartieri Spagnoli to Forcella, this historic street hums with local life and the constant buzz of scooters.
Very friendly staff, who also spoke english so could explain what everything on the menu was. The food was also freshly made as went in the morning. Other than coffee in Naples it’s hard to find a good place for breakfast which isn’t just pastries and sweet treats.

We loved to hike in this "Path of Gods". We were lucky with the weather and the views from the path were stunning. We walked from Bomerano to Positano.

Great, casual, and easy to moderate hike. The path is clearly marked and easy to traverse. We took it from Positano to Bomerano and saw some breathtaking views. We found the trail to be safe as it has wide paths and is fenced off for most of the way. Nothing compared to the Kalalau trail or most hikes in Washington State.

The trail from Agerola to Positano was an unforgettable experience! The views along the Amalfi Coast are simply breathtaking every turn feels like a postcard. September and October are definitely the best months to go, with cooler weather and fewer tourists. It was a little windy, but that only made it feel more alive and adventurous. A walk I’ll always remember! 💯❤️

Kevin N — Google review
Good hike, that is well marked, definitely easier than expected (based on reviews/what we were told). Took us 1.5 hrs (~6.5km) to complete (regular hiker). It ends with the most amount of stairs I’ve ever seen on a hike, so if you do it in reverse it’d be much more challenging. Views are pretty, but not super jaw dropping (esp if you’re use to come pretty epic hikes) It’s about 35 min drive from amalfi, ~€70 uber or take the bus for €3 (there’s a bus stop right at the end of the trail). The path is both exposed to the sun and in the shade.

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.

Cathedral of St Andrew Apostle

Mentioned on 
+22 other lists 
Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Cathedral of St. Andrew Apostle, also known as the Cathedral of Amalfi, is a historic church located in the town of Amalfi in Campania, Italy. Originally built in the 10th century and later expanded into a grand Roman church with multiple porches and halls, it has undergone several renovations over the centuries. The entrance features a bronze gate from Constantinople and golden mosaics depicting Moorish life.
The Cathedral of St. Andrew the Apostle is strikingly beautiful and sits right at the center of Amalfi’s main piazza. You’ll enter by climbing a dramatic grand staircase, which makes the whole experience feel even more impressive. Inside, the cathedral features stunning marble throughout and intricately detailed painted mural ceilings. The crypt, which holds the relics of St. Andrew, is a peaceful space still used for prayer, adding to the spiritual depth of the visit. Just off the main cathedral is the Cloister of Paradise, a quiet and beautiful courtyard surrounded by elegant columns and arches. There’s also a small museum on-site with religious artifacts, including a display case said to hold a thorn from the crown of Jesus during the crucifixion. Whether you're visiting for the history, architecture, or spiritual connection, the cathedral leaves a lasting impression.

St. Andrew’s Cathedral stands as the magnificent centerpiece of Amalfi’s main square, serving as the town’s spiritual heart. The cathedral’s stunning architecture and sacred atmosphere create an unforgettable experience, particularly the rare opportunity to venerate a relic of St. Andrew, Christ’s first disciple. The adjoining museum and ancient crypt are equally impressive, offering rich historical insights. The staff welcomes visitors with genuine warmth and helpfulness. For English-speaking visitors: the cathedral offers Sunday evening Mass in English at 6 PM during summer months. While intimate in size, this service provides a meaningful opportunity for international visitors to fully participate in worship after attending Italian-language services elsewhere. St. Andrew’s Cathedral exemplifies Christian hospitality, graciously accommodating both pilgrims and tourists with a spirit that truly reflects its sacred mission.

Visiting the Cathedral of Saint Andrew in Amalfi was one of the most impressive experiences of my trip. The church is truly breathtaking, both inside and out. The grand staircase leading up to the entrance, the beautifully detailed façade, and the striking blend of architectural styles make it a masterpiece that immediately captures your attention. Inside, the atmosphere is equally captivating—peaceful, spiritual, and filled with artistic details that reflect centuries of history. Every corner seems to tell a story, and the craftsmanship is nothing short of extraordinary. I would recommend this place without hesitation to anyone visiting Amalfi. It is not only a landmark but also an unforgettable cultural and spiritual experience that should not be missed.

Must see cathedral with incredible history and architecture spanning 4 different styles, Romanesque, Arab-Norman, Baroque, and Gothic. The church has been rebuilt and added to so many times, making it a really unique piece of history and a snapshot of the culture of the time of construction. Of note obviously is the supposed remains of Saint Andrew who is said to be interred in a crypt from the 1200’s. Not to be outdone by any of the other strange and amazing claims by European Catholic Churches, it is said that manna forms on the sarcophagus and collected from the saints bones, so that’s something. All weirdness aside, the artwork, craftsmanship, and ornate structures inside and out are so worth the price of admission.

The Cathedral of St Andrew in Amalfi is a beautiful medieval church incorporating various architectural styles and dominating the central piazza of Amalfi. When we visited there was a service taking place so we contented ourdelves with the beautiful facade and the historic area around the cathedral. Parking in Amalfi was surprisingly easy since the town has a huge underground car park hollowed out of a hill which certainly saves trying to find street parking.

The Cathedral of St Andrew in Amalfi is worth every sweaty step up those stairs, think of it as your cardio session before the spiritual experience. The place is stunning, grand enough to make you forget your aching calves. Inside, it’s peaceful, beautiful, and full of history. Outside, it’s pure Italian drama, bells ringing, tourists posing, and pigeons doing whatever pigeons do best. A perfect mix of holiness and chaos. Highly recommend, but maybe skip leg day before visiting.

The Cattedrale di Sant’Andrea in Amalfi is one of the town’s most beautiful landmarks and absolutely worth a visit. The exterior is stunning, with its impressive staircase and striking façade that immediately catches your eye as you arrive in the main square. Inside, the church is just as remarkable, with ornate details and a peaceful yet solemn atmosphere. It’s also an important religious site as it houses the relics of Saint Andrew. There is usually a lot of people, so expect crowds, especially during the day, but it is still an unmissable stop if you are in Amalfi.
Rob — Google review
The Cathedral of St Andrew Apostle is one of the most beautiful landmarks I’ve visited. Its striking black-and-white striped façade and grand staircase create an unforgettable first impression. Climbing the steps gives you a sense of anticipation, and when you finally stand in front of the entrance, the intricate details of the architecture truly stand out. Inside, the cathedral is just as impressive. The combination of rich mosaics, marble columns, and golden details creates an atmosphere of both grandeur and peace. Light streaming through the windows adds to the beauty, highlighting the craftsmanship in every corner. I visited on a weekday and only waited about 10 minutes to enter, which made the experience smooth and enjoyable. The location in the heart of Amalfi adds to the charm, as you can explore the surrounding streets and enjoy a coffee or gelato after your visit. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or simply looking for a breathtaking spot to appreciate, this cathedral is a must-see. It’s a place where you can slow down, take in the beauty, and feel connected to centuries of tradition and faith.

Villa Cimbrone

Hotel
Nature & Parks
Villa Cimbrone is an elegant hilltop lodging located in a medieval manor offering luxurious rooms, fine dining, and a pool. The hotel features nineteen suites set in large gardens, each uniquely decorated with stunning coastal views, fireplaces, marble floors, and frescoed ceilings. Guests can enjoy exquisite meals prepared by a Michelin star chef at the onsite restaurant and relax by the swimming pool in the central courtyard.
This is one of my favourite hotels in the world. Sitting on top of a mountain, with stunning views of both the sea and other mountains for miles on end. Pictures don't do it justice, it has to be seen with your own eyes to be truly appreciated. Just be prepared for a short 10 minute hike with stairs to reach the hotel, since there are no direct roads accessible, but your luggage will be taken care of by the hotel porters. The walk to the hotel is a refreshing experience itself, giving you a taste of the Ravello mountain life! The staff were all polite and professional, catering to our every need. We went for our wedding anniversary, and the staff accommodated us at every moment, even opening up their helipad for our pickup during departure. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to enjoy a peaceful escape far away from noise and people!

I was hoping to visit la Rondinaia in Ravello but, as this is not possible, visited Villa Cimbrone instead. Yes, the entry fee of 10euros per person was rather stiff and yes the lady at the ticket counter made being rude a matter of principal, her calling. We are but vulgar tourists to be tolerated if we are lucky. That being said, everybody else was thoroughly charming and wonderful. The gardens are stunningly beautiful and manicured beyond belief. It is a huge pleasure to wander through and the views are breath-taking. Just like the rest of the Amalfi coast, just more so. We came across the villa restaurant (not the Michelin star one) by chance and had the most wonderful meal of our stay in Italy! The food was amazing, the service impeccable and the view I have already written about. My wife and I can't wait to go back!

Going to the city Amalfi brings you close to Ravello. When you bring a car, make the trip to Ravello. Parking is a small disaster. Stroll thought the village centre which has a nice sqaure and walk in about 10 minutes to Villa Cimbrone. Youo nly need to visit the garden. There is a beautiful view over de Amalfi coast on a terrace called Terrazza dell'Infinito. In the garden is a small bar with the famous balcony. Enjoy.

Villa Cimbrone has a fascinating history that blends old-world charm with modern appeal. Its first records date back to the 11th century, during Ravello’s golden era, when it was owned by noble families such as the Acconciajoco and later the Fusco. However, over time, the villa fell into disrepair and became a ruin. In 1904, Ernest William Beckett, later known as Lord Grimthorpe, discovered the property. A wealthy and eccentric Englishman, he fell in love with Villa Cimbrone and decided to restore it. Collaborating with local builder Nicola Mansi, he rebuilt the villa in a mix of Moorish, Venetian, and Gothic styles, incorporating elements from across Italy. This restoration led to the beautiful, almost dreamlike villa we see today. During Beckett's ownership, Villa Cimbrone became a retreat for many notable writers, artists, and thinkers, including Virginia Woolf, E.M. Forster, Winston Churchill, and Greta Garbo. Today, the Vuilleumier family owns the villa. They have preserved its historic beauty and transformed it into a charming hotel, renowned for its stunning Terrace of Infinity and serene gardens. Although we did not stay at the hotel and cannot comment on its services, the gardens are open to visitors who wish to explore the beautiful scenery. We enjoyed a leisurely hour-long walk around the property, which also features a café for all visitors.

Simply an unparalleled, life-affirming experience! The Terrace of Infinity offers the best sea + nature view I have ever witnessed anywhere in the world. It is truly an experience that words fail to capture. The entire villa grounds and park are stunning and perfectly maintained, making the whole visit an absolute must-do! and as a bonus, its a starting point for the most scenic down-hikes to Atrani (lots of stairs though)

Absolutely unbelievable!! One of the most excellent places on the planet!! The story behind the establishment of this villa is unbearably romantic and that energy permeates the entire estate. There are places to eat at both ends of the gardens,which is great because we really did work up an appetite while strolling the gardens. We spent around 5 hours wandering through the gardens and many rooms, crypts and galleries. Really well worth the visit!!

Historical landmark

Villa Rufolo is a 13th-century villa with Moorish influences, renowned for its stunning cascading gardens and terraces that offer breathtaking views of the sea. Over the years, it has become a significant tourist attraction, especially after hosting the first editions of Wagner's Concerts in its gardens. The Villa's international reputation grew further when it was acquired by the Provincial Tourist Board of Salerno and opened to the public.
This town has become know as the city of music. My wife and I went to Villa Rufolo and it was so beautiful. The flowers looked like something that came out of a movie. The exhibits were all nice and historical. If you are ever in Ravello you must check out Villa Rufolo.

The gardens are amazing, and the views especially overlooking the Mediterranean. The actual ruffolo palace left much to be desired; there was an art exhibit up that left me confused. But I would highly recommend visiting while in Ravello. Take the bus up (don’t walk).

One of the most beauiful places ive been to. Up above the Amalfi Coast with outstanding views this small town has it all. The gardens are spectacular and we were lucky enough to have room to move having visited off season in March. The skies cleared and the only word for it is Wow. In my opinion it leaves the coast for dead, a lot quieter and a lot to see and do. Cafes are great and our hotel Lolanda was amazing. I cant stress how important it is to take a little time and go off the beaten track up to this place. Visit all the gardens at the top and you wont be disappointed.

Must visit, but try earlier than in the evening, as the sun goes away from 4 pm in October. Sunsets are amazing though. And in October there are not so many flowers and colors like in summer pictures, but still nice. The house is unfortunately empty, and there’s not much to do.

Villa Rufolo was such a hidden gem here in Ravello. Really enjoyed the small room showing the videos and giving some history of the place which helped color a beautiful picture of music, history, and brilliant views. I highly recommend making a stop here if you are visiting Ravello. My best advice, take a scooter to the top of this hill instead of this bulky busses, you’ll be happy you did!

Main garden closed should be told when buying ticket, misleading. Gardeners walking around with cigarettes in the month just yapping. Supposed to be a peaceful place but just felt weird there. End of the season is coming so I understand but should have mentioned the main garden they use in all the pictures is closed and covered by a concert layout… not worth €7 entree for that… but beautiful views that are normal in Ravello.

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!!!

Complesso Monumentale Belvedere San Leucio is a vast village complex located on the slopes of the San Leucio hill, just a short drive from Caserta. The complex features a silk museum, former royal apartments with furnished halls and frescos, as well as beautifully landscaped gardens. Visitors can admire old looms in perfect working condition at the silk museum and explore Renaissance gardens and the weavers house.
Beautiful complex with stunning view of Caserta all the way to the sea. We also took the guided tour of the palace at 16:30. It lasted about 1h and was really worth it. The guide was super prepared and made the whole visit entertaining. It’s 100% worth it!

Great experience, a real surprise: after Reggia Caserta and Caserta Vecchia, I was wondering what to do in Caserta….this was a great surprise. Two reasons: nice building and a lot of info about the production of silk, all processes. The best is that there is a guide explaining a lot of info. Ticket is around 10 EUR because there is a guide but it is really worth. They should make more publicity….

Gorgeous example of Vanvitelli style architecture. This place has a lot of history and a fantastic view over the city of Caserta. It was a former silk factory during the times of the Borbons and a commune with it's own constitution was created around the factory. It was the first social experiment of its kind in Europe. The factory hosts a museum now where the silk factory machines are preserved almost intact. It is really worth visiting.

Points of Interest & Landmarks
The English Garden, located in the top right corner of the park, is a 65-acre picturesque landscape that dates back to the 1780s. It was created at the behest of Maria Carolina, sister of Marie Antoinette, and is considered one of Europe's earliest examples of its style. The garden entrance lies just beside the fountain of Diana and Actaeon and covers an area of 25 hectares.
This garden is located within the Caserta Royal Palace. The garden is a lovely place for a stroll. It's very peaceful, calm and quite big. But to get to the garden it is quite a walk from the main castle. I would recommend taking the bus or golf cart if the weather, in particular if the weather is warm. Make sure to visit the Criptoportico. So beautiful and a must-see for nature-lovers!

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...

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.

(Translated by Google) Early Christian Basilica Complex of Cimitile: A Journey into Faith and Ancient Art The Early Christian Basilica Complex of Cimitile, located a few kilometers from Nola, is one of the most important and evocative archaeological and religious sites in Southern Italy. This extraordinary complex, developed around the tomb of San Felice, bishop of Nola in the 3rd century, is a true treasure chest of history, faith and early Christian art. Walking among the various basilicas and archaeological remains is like taking a journey through time, from late antiquity to the early Middle Ages. You can admire pictorial cycles of extraordinary beauty and importance, such as those of the Basilica of San Felice in Pincis, which testify to the evolution of Christian iconography and the artistic ability of local craftsmen. Also worthy of note are the Basilica of San Tommaso and the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, with their architectural stratifications that tell centuries of history and devotion. The atmosphere you breathe in Cimitile is one of profound spirituality and contemplation. The site is well preserved and enhanced, with explanatory panels that guide the visitor in understanding the structures and their history. It is a must-see for lovers of Christian archaeology, art history and for anyone who wishes to discover a unique heritage, steeped in faith and beauty, at the gates of Campania. (Original) Complesso Basilicale Paleocristiano di Cimitile: Un Viaggio nella Fede e nell'Arte Antica Il Complesso Basilicale Paleocristiano di Cimitile, situato a pochi chilometri da Nola, rappresenta uno dei siti archeologici e religiosi più importanti e suggestivi del Sud Italia. Questo straordinario complesso, sviluppatosi intorno alla tomba di San Felice, vescovo di Nola del III secolo, è un vero e proprio scrigno di storia, fede e arte paleocristiana. Passeggiare tra le diverse basiliche e i resti archeologici è come compiere un viaggio nel tempo, dalla tarda antichità fino all'alto medioevo. Si possono ammirare cicli pittorici di straordinaria bellezza e importanza, come quelli della Basilica di San Felice in Pincis, che testimoniano l'evoluzione dell'iconografia cristiana e l'abilità artistica delle maestranze locali. Degne di nota sono anche la Basilica di San Tommaso e la Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli, con le loro stratificazioni architettoniche che raccontano secoli di storia e devozione. L'atmosfera che si respira a Cimitile è di profonda spiritualità e contemplazione. Il sito è ben conservato e valorizzato, con pannelli esplicativi che guidano il visitatore nella comprensione delle strutture e della loro storia. È un luogo imperdibile per gli appassionati di archeologia cristiana, storia dell'arte e per chiunque desideri scoprire un patrimonio unico, intriso di fede e bellezza, alle porte della Campania.

(Translated by Google) A potentially beautiful place, but it's a shame the neglect borders on dangerous (unusable seats just waiting to collapse for a distracted tourist, and unmarked potholes). It would also be very helpful to restore the QR codes to provide more information to patrons. (Original) Posto potenzialmente bellissimo, peccato per l'incuria che rasenta il pericolo (sedute inutilizzabili che aspettano solo un turista distratto per crollare e buche non segnalare). Sarebbe, inoltre, molto utile ripristinare i codici QR per dare maggiori informazioni agli avventori.

(Translated by Google) A precious treasure trove of little-known but priceless treasures, once again present in our wonderful Campania region. I hope the site receives more publicity, so as to provide more resources for further excavations, routine maintenance, and restoration. I also hope that next time we visit, we'll have a guide who can tell us the full story of this splendid monumental complex. It was a timeless visit that took my breath away! (Original) Prezioso scrigno di tesori poco noti ma di valore inestimabile presenti ancora una volta nella nostra meravigliosa regione Campania. Auspico che il sito sia più sponsorizzato, in modo da fornire maggiori risorse per ulteriori scavi, manutenzione ordinaria e recupero degli stessi e che la prossima volta ci sia una guida che ci possa raccontare tutta la storia che riguarda questo splendido complesso monumentale. È stata una visita fuori dal tempo che mi ha tolto il fiato!

If you are in Vietri Sul Mare and want a ceramic shop with something a little different, then Sol’Art is the place. While many of the shops in town offer more traditional ceramic styles, proprietor Giovanni and his brother Fabio offer a more contemporary take with their creations. We really enjoyed talking with Giovanni and getting some ideas for tile creations. What a fantastic experience and we hope to see Giovanni again in the future.

What an amazing shop. A more unique and artisan twist on traditional Vietri Sul Mare ceramics. Many unique, aesthetic and practical pieces. Delighted to meet one of the owners and creator of many of the beautiful pieces. Made several personal purchases. Highly recommended 💕

This morning, my husband and I bought a very colorful and, to say the least, beautiful set of ceramic plates from Vietri. Competent and very kind staff. We are very satisfied!
Claudia S — Google review
We decided to visit this store based on other customers reviews. Fabio, the owner, is very knowledgeable and gave us lots of information about the history of Vietri ceramics. He explained the different visual effects that each paint can create. His ceramics stand apart from everything else found in Vietri because they display the owner's desire to create something new while preserving Vietri traditions. Last but not least, the owner is very customer orientated which made our shopping experience a lot more enjoyable than the other shops we visited in town.

Hi there, if you are in the area of the Amalfi coast looking for some ceramics, well you'd better stop by Vietri sul Mare and go check Giovanni's shop. This guy is amazing and he basically produces all his products inside the shop, and it's handmade and original, you can easily recognised the colours of the town and the skills of Giovanni who does all by itself. i bought some of it to send to friends, just unreal how he can do that.

Very nice ristorante in a Wonderful park. Excellent food. Incredible bottle of falangina for €11.

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.

Phenomenal area to visit. Much lower temperatures than the cities below. Recommend bundling up. Absolutely worth the visit!!!!

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.

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.

(Translated by Google) In Avellino, there are few places where you can go with friends to sip an aperitif, tea or chocolate in peace with friends. One of these is certainly the literary café. The location is really beautiful and welcoming, and during the summer you can also enjoy a large terrace. The three stars are for the wasted opportunity. What could be a real point of reference among the Avellino clubs often finds itself managed very badly. Almost every time I went there, choosing from the menus, I was told "it's finished - we've finished it". Furthermore, when you stop for an aperitif you are offered a miserable tarallini. missed opportunity, but I hope it can improve. (Original) Ad Avellino, sono pochi i locali in cui recarsi con amici per sorseggiare un aperitivo, un tè o una cioccolata in tranquillità con amici. Uno di questi è sicuramente il Caffè letterario. La location è davvero bella, ed accogliente, inoltre durante l'estate è possibile godere anche di una ampia terrazza. Le tre stelle sono per l'occasione sprecata. Quello che potrebbe essere un vero riferimento tra i locali avellinesi, si trova spesso ad essere gestito malissimo. Quasi ogni volta che mi ci sono recato, scegliendo dai menù presenti, mi sono sentito rispondere "è finito - l'abbiamo terminato". Inoltre, quando ci si ferma per un aperitivo viene proposta una misera tarallini. occasione persa, ma spero che possa migliorare.

(Translated by Google) Cozy place, with soft lights and well-arranged tables. Excellent for spending a quiet evening with friends sipping wine and good for organizing small parties. There is always music playing in the background and several DJs offering their service. Staff not always friendly. There is only one bathroom for women and men and perhaps it is unhygienic but still quite clean. It also has a smoking room with tables and sofas. It definitely goes on the list of places to try! (Original) Locale accogliente, con luci soffuse e tavoli ben disposti. Ottimo per trascorrere una serata tranquilla tra amici sorseggiando vino e buono per organizzare piccole feste. C'è sempre musica in sottofondo e diversi DJ che offrono il loro servizio. Personale non sempre cordiale. C'è un unico bagno per donne e uomini e forse è poco igienico però comunque abbastanza pulito. Dispone anche di una sala fumatori con tavoli e divanetti. Sicuramente entra nella lista dei locali da provare!
