Naples

Naples is the big city on the Bay: baroque squares, tuff alleys, cloisters, museums and a depth of history that has no equal.

It takes about an hour by Circumvesuviana train from Sorrento — the simplest option: no parking, central stops at Garibaldi and Porta Nolana.

For a day trip, the classic loop covers Piazza del Plebiscito, Spaccanapoli, Cappella Sansevero and Napoli Sotterranea. Book the day before to skip the queues.
