Five things to see/do in Naples: Take a trip to the ancient city of Herculeum (Hercoleo). The site offers guided and self-guided tours of the ruins, as well as many artifacts from ancient times that have been recovered in the past couple of centuries.
The Royal Palace (Palazzo Reale), once the home of many prominent nobles, as well as the neoclassical San Francesco di Paola, are two of many notable buildings in the city.
For art lovers, the Museum of Capodimonte (Museo Nazionali di Capodimonte) has a large collection of classic Italian art and sculpture, while the Museo Cappella Sansevero offers a small but good collection of sculpture and fine art. The MADRE (Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Donna Regina) offers a great collection of contemporary art.
Take a stroll along the Spaccanapoli in the old part of Naples, a narrow street filled with stalls selling nativity scenes, statues of Maradona, and other artisan works.
Go to the top of Castel Sant’Elmo for some wonderful panoramic views of the city and Mount Vesuvius. There’s also a small art museum worth checking out.
