It’s time to start dreaming of your next trip. Here’s some destination inspiration for you. Take a visual journey through Naples, Italy, with us.
Located less than 6 miles from Naples looms the notorious Mount Vesuvius, a volcano most notable for its destruction of the Roman cities of Pompeii, Stabiae and other settlements in 79 A.D. It’s the only volcano on mainland Europe to have erupted in the last century. Visitors can access the area around the volcano, a national park, to see it up close. © Minnystock | Dreamstime.com
Dating back to the third or fourth century, the Catacombs of San Gennaro is an underground, paleo-Christian burial and worship site in northern Naples. Burials within the catacombs include tombs, sarcophagi and arcosoli. Many burials are adorned with mosaics and frescoes, and there’s even evidence of oil lamps within the catacombs dating back to the Middle Ages and earlier. © Enrico Della Pietra | Dreamstime.com
The postcard-worthy island of Procida features colorful houses and boats up and down the coast. The island sits a 1.5-hour ferry ride from Naples and was named as a candidate for the Italian Capital of Culture in 2022. Procida has a long history, going back as early as the 16th and 15th centuries B.C. with evidence of Mycenean Greek artifacts present. © Xantana | Dreamstime.com
For a day of shopping, head to Galleria Umberto I, a public shopping gallery built in the late 19th century. Famous for its glass dome and beautiful architecture, the building is part of the UNESCO list of the Historic Centre of Naples as a World Heritage site. © Tanialerro | Dreamstime.com
Just 30 minutes from Naples lies the historic ruins of Pompeii, best known for its destruction during the 79 A.D. eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Immortalized both in firsthand descriptions and by the eerie ruins and plaster casts of victims to the volcano, Pompeii shows a Roman city frozen in time. Pompeii comprises part of Vesuvius National Park and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. © Scaliger | Dreamstime.com
You can’t leave Naples without trying pizza at any number of pizzerias in the city. The Pizza Magherita has been popular in Naples since at least the late 18th century, and some popular pizzerias in the city include Sorbillo, Starita and Carminiello, among others. © Perseomedusa | Dreamstime.com
