Out and About

Things to see and do........

Poised between a magnificent coastline and Mount Vesuvius, the beautiful city of Naples has much to offer its visitors. From archaeological sights and historical monuments, to lively piazzas and excellent shopping, there is a wealth of things to see and do in this vibrant city. Wandering through the chaotic labyrinth of streets alone is a true experience in outdoor theatre! Explore the tangle of stepped lanes in the centro storico, sample the local espresso coffee while watching the world go by, enjoy an original Neapolitan pizza in an authentic pizzeria or treat yourself to an evening at the famous San Carlo Opera House. Italy's largest palazzo is also situated only a short distance away in Caserta - elegant and ornate, it is often likened to Versailles Palace. Or take a day trip to the lovely island of Capri or Ischia with regular boat and hydrofoil services leaving the port of Naples daily.

It is located at Via San Giovanni Maggiore Pignatelli.  Naples has a host of nightime options, ask at the hotel or in the local restaurants for whats hot just now.
