Get to Know Naples, Italy

Naples, Napoli in Italian, is the third most-populated city in Italy and is just a couple hours south of Rome. Naples' close proximity to many interesting sites, such as Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast, makes it a good base for your travels. Besides being on the main train line along the coast, Naples has a great suburban train line, the Ferrovia Circumvesuviana, that will get you to Herculaneum, Pompeii, and Sorrento. Naples is a lively and vibrant city, full of wonderful historical and artistic treasures and narrow, winding streets with small shops, making it worth at least a few days visit.
