Naples: 3 days in Naples
How to reach
Naples is situated in the Campania region of italy. To reach Naples, you can take a direct flight to their airport, or you can take a train from Rome and other parts of Italy to reach Naples.
To reach the main city from Airport, you can take cab, but we recommend taking Ali Bus shuttle services. Ali bus from Airport and Central station runs every 15 mins for the city, and is the chepest way (5 euros per person), to reach the city.
Day 1: Naples
Places to visit
Start your day by visiting Galleria Umberto I. The Galleria has a lot of eateries, and is a good place to grab a cappuccino, as well as Sfogliatella, a classic Naples pastry.
Grab a pastry at Mary's Sfogliatella.
After grabbing a cappuccino and Sfogliatella, make your way to the most famous street of Napoli!! Via Toledo. There are a lot of eateries here, but first, we will visit some piazzas.
After visiting the Piazza del Plebiscito, you can easily walk to the port area of Naples. It's just 5 minutes from here, and you get a great view of Mt. Vesuvius as well as the Port.
After enjoying the wonderful view of the port, and taking in some fresh sea breeze, it's time to grab some lunch.
After eating a bit, we will head to the lovely Spanish Quarters of Napoli.
After coving the lovely Spanish quarters, we recommend exploring Via Toledo area a bit more or grab a gelato, and sit at Piazza and do people watching.
For the sunset, we have a special place in mind.
We recommend visiting here during sunset, because from one side you can enjoy the gorgeous sunset on the sea, and on the other, you will have beautiful view of the Naples city.
After visiting St. Elmo, we will head to the best pizza place in Town.
Gino e Toto Sorbillo, is a michelin star restaurant, and I can safely say, that it has one of the Best pizzas I've eaten till date. After eating this pizza, we decided that we will visit Naples again, just to eat this Pizza, one more time.
Where to stay:
Considering that most of the places are near the port area, we highly recommend staying here.
Day trips from Naples:
Naples is a very good base if you want to do some nice day trips. Whether it's to the historical sites of Pompei, herculean or to the gorgeous coast of Amalfi and islands of Capri and ischia.
Day 2: Amalfi Coast
Amalfi coast is hardly 2/2,5 hours away from Naples, and we highly recommend doing a day trip from Naples to Amalfi coast. For the day trip, we recommend either booking a tour by get your guide or Viator.
Day 3: Pompei
Reaching Pompei is much easier than reaching Amalfi coast. It's a 30/45 mins ride by train, and the train runs multiple times per hour.
If you are into history, then the ruins of Pompei are absolutely worth visiting. The city of Pompei, was destroyed when Mt. Vesuvius, which is an active volcano, erupted.
