Best Naples Day Trips & Things to Do

The birthplace of pizza not only serves Italy’s best pizza but some say its tastiest pasta, seafood and sweets as well. Culinary prowess aside, Napoli is a treasure trove of architectural gems with a plethora of palaces and castles; its historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Notable sights in Italy’s third largest city, which lies in the shadow of Mt. Vesuvius, include the Museo Archeologico Nazionale, which houses one of the world’s finest collections of Greco-Roman artifacts; Teatro San Carlo, Italy’s largest and oldest opera house; and Cappella Sansevero, home of the world-famous Veiled Christ sculpture.
