Naples in south Italy overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea is an ancient metropolis dating from the 2nd millennium B.C and beholds many historical buildings, churches, and picturesque squares, along with modern-day amenities and a vibrant nightlife.
The city's largest semi-circular square Piazza del Plebiscito is a beautiful place to visit with many people gathering around to meet, chat and admire the elegant architecture of the Royal Palace and neoclassical façade of the church of San Francesco di Paola, a model of Rome's Pantheon.
The landscape surrounding Naples is dominated by the impressive volcano, Mount Vesuvius, visitors can take the opportunity to hike to the peak to peer into the crater. Down by the harbour, visit the majestic 13th-century Castel Nuovo with its spectacular 5 circular turret towers and the Castel dell'Ovo fortress stands majestically on the harbourside rocks.
