Pompeii is a short ride away from the many interesting and fascinating things to do in Naples.

But, if you want to keep exploring outside the city, you can take a panoramic trip to the top of Mount Vesuvius and take in the breathtaking views of the Gulf of Naples.

To delve deeper into the archaeology and see the other city that was destroyed by the eruption of the Vesuvius, you can go to Herculaneum and get lost in time in its ruins.

For a more relaxing endeavor, why not discover the beautiful and scenic Amalfi Coast? There are plenty of tours that will take you to this slice of Italian paradise and help you discover all the nooks and crannies that give it its charm.
