Affordable one-way flights to Naples

The Fortress of Sant’Elmo stands in solitary splendour high up Vomero Hill, offering fine views over the old city, Vesuvius and the sea. The castle dates from the 14th century, and is now the venue for fascinating art exhibitions.

Anyone travelling to Naples just has to eat pizza, as one of the world’s best-loved dishes was created here. Traditionally Neapolitan types of pizza are pizza margherita and pizza marinara – they’re particularly good at Da Michele, Di Matteo and Pizzeria Brandi.

Line 1, also known as “Metrò dell’Arte”, is one of Europe’s finest underground railways, and will impress you with its wonderful contemporary artwork. Archæological treasures are also displayed at some of the stations.

An excursion to Vesuvius, the only active volcano on continental Europe, is an essential part of your programme during a vacation in Naples. You can go up to 1,000 metres by car or bus, but the remaining distance to the crater must be completed on foot (around 20 minutes).

Pompeii is one of Italy’s most famous sights, and should not be missed by anyone visiting the region. In the year 79AD, the city was shaken by a terrifying volcano eruption – but today’s visitor is still astonished how well- preserved its buildings, streets and murals are. Don’t miss it!
