Naples, Italy
An enchanting city stretched along the Bay of Naples at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, Naples has been a major seaport since it was founded in 500 BC. The city has a rich history and is famous for its university dating back to 1224.
Visitors can enjoy warm weather as they peer across the splendid coastal area as they visit this center of medieval and renaissance architecture. The Mueso Archeologico Nazionale is home to the relics of Pompeii and Herculaneum, which survived the volcano's wrath.
For over 2,000 years, people from around the globe succumb to the allure of the Amalfi Coast, including Sorrento, an enchanting small town surrounded by limestone mountains.
Neapolitan hospitality goes hand-in-hand with its traditional succulent cuisine: mozzarella and ricotta from the neighborouing towns pay tribute to the very birthplace of the pizza.
