Naples
Naples & Pompeii
The city and the ruins together — the Archaeological Museum holds what Pompeii had taken out of it
Sightseeing
Why We Love it
Nobody expects the Naples half to be the good half — Teatro di San Carlo, one of the oldest opera houses anywhere, and Spaccanapoli slicing the old centre in two.
The Experience
Nine hours covering Naples and Pompeii in the order that makes them explain each other. In the city: Piazza del Plebiscito with the Royal Palace and San Francesco di Paola, the exterior of Teatro di San Carlo — one of the oldest opera houses in the world — the National Archaeological Museum, and Spaccanapoli cutting through the old centre.
Then Pompeii: the Forum, the amphitheatre, the villas and the House of the Vettii. The museum holds the frescoes, mosaics and sculpture removed from the site, so doing both in a day means you see the art and the architecture it belonged to.
My pick for travelers who want the context as well as the ruins, and for a rainy forecast — half this day is indoors.
