The ancient city of Poseidonia dates from 600 B.C. and is just wonderful preserved. I would recommend about 2 hours looking around the site. The admission cost is fairly inexpensive. I was with...

If you really love art, the best places to see it displayed are at Italian Churches and the Gesu Nuovo Church is a great example of this. The Baroque church has a wonderful display of tapestries,...

For anyone who arrives in Naples in the rain (like we did) and is unable to go to Pompeii (like us!), then head to the Naples National Archaeological Museum. It's not that far from the train...

Naples is a legendary city, not just for it's history and art and architecture, but for it's traffic. It took us 30 minutes to get two blocks outside of the train station. There seems to be no...

Mount Vesuvius is a trek... but it's completely worth it to get to the top. It's a bit of a drive outside the city of Naples, but once you start the walk, which is long but not terribly steep, you...

Mt. Vesuvious is notoriously known for its eruption in 79AD, burying the cities of Pompeii, Herculanium, and various other towns surrounding the volcano. It is quite a hike up this volcano....

Pompeii is and interesting city and there is a lot to learn about it. That said, this was one of the places where I actually sprang for a guided tour.
Shortly after doing that I realized there seemed to be more tour groups than individuals without a guide. Had I found a place I really...

The Naples train stations is a huge place that has more warnings about pick pockets than directions on where to go. They actually have an enclosed area that is a food court type area with security...

The food in Naples was out of this world, maybe in the top ten of places that I’ve been in Europe. It also was quite reasonably priced which as a traveler is always nice. My favorite though was...
