What to see in Naples

  • The historic centre

    A UNESCO World Heritage site: Spaccanapoli, the churches and the lane of the nativity workshops, San Gregorio Armeno.

  • The National Archaeological Museum

    Frescoes, mosaics and objects from Pompeii and Herculaneum, the best companion to a day at the excavations.

  • The seafront and Castel dell’Ovo

    The castle on its islet in the bay, with Vesuvius across the water.

How do you get from Vietri sul Mare to Naples?

By train from Vietri sul Mare station, changing at Salerno station for Napoli Centrale: 64–87 min on board, plus the wait at the change. Check the trains for your date on the Trenitalia journey planner.

How much time do you need in Naples?

At least 4 hours for the historic centre and a pizza; 6 or more with the archaeological museum. Naples deserves more than a day: treat this as a first taste.

Can you see Naples and Pompeii on the same day?

Not comfortably. Pompeii is on the same railway, closer to Vietri, and needs half a day on its own; give each its own day.
