The National Archaeological Museum of Naples is the first place to visit, because the Pompeii site is remarkable, but more than 90 percent of the things inside are in the museum, and the things of Herculaneum are also here. Especially this summer in hot European summer, if you want to walk in the big sun, exposed to the sun for two hours to dehydrate (to Pompeii), it is more appropriate to hide in this museum to enjoy slowly. There are several sculptures here that are absolutely not to be missed, such as the world's largest single ancient Greek sculpture "Cernes Bull", the standard photo version of the "Heracles statue", Alexander's mosaic murals, Pompeii brothel "Spring Palace map", parts to open your eyes. Don't miss it!
A very beautiful and large museum with rich and diverse exhibits and a long history. It is worth visiting. It is very convenient to book tickets on the Ctrip platform, which can save you the trouble of queuing. The museum collects historical relics of the ancient city of Pompeii and there is a paid parking lot nearby.

Don't be scared by the surrounding environment, it is still very safe and definitely worth a visit. It is simply amazing. But please note that photography is not allowed inside. The pictures I posted below are all collected from the Internet.
The San Severo Museum is also a very simple place. There are many things in this museum. It is very advantageous to visit here. Many things in the entire museum are also very simple, and many of the contents of the museum are also very unique.

Standing in front of a window of the palace, you can see the majestic Mount Vesuvius in the distance and the beautiful Bay of Naples nearby. It is like the princes and nobles of the past could enjoy the beautiful scenery without leaving their homes.
The Royal Palace of Naples is a very small palace. You need to pay to visit it. The ticket booth is very small and there is a free ticket storage service, which is quite convenient. The decoration inside the palace is definitely magnificent, and there are also Chinese ceramic utensils.

The Cathedral of Naples is also a very unique building. The cathedral itself is full of many legendary features. The cathedral also has some very interesting facilities, and the bishop carries out some activities here.
Naples Cathedral is a free attraction. We walked here from the hotel near Naples Train Station. The decoration inside the church is very beautiful, especially the oil paintings on the wall, which are very realistic. Most of the tourists are from Europe and the United States!

The Castel Nuovo in Naples, Italy, was built on the only way to enter Naples at that time. The Castel Nuovo was named "new" because it was compared to the older castle in Naples. The Castel Nuovo was both a royal palace and a defensive fortress, and it played a pivotal role in the city's defense system. The Castel Nuovo is located on a high slope by the sea in Naples, in front of the Naples Town Hall Square, and is one of the famous landmarks of Naples. The castle's walls consist of five cylindrical towers, which are connected by city walls. The battlements on the walls and towers are staggered, which are quite rugged and masculine in medieval architecture.
This is a typical French-style castle and one of the most outstanding landmarks in Naples. Today, the castle houses a small civic museum with paintings depicting the history of Naples and other castle relics.

I love walking in this place, refreshes me from watching all the views, boats, cruise ship, and the volcano on the other side.
On one side of Naples's seaside avenue are rows of ancient buildings, and on the other side is the Bay of Naples nestled against the majestic Mount Vesuvius. If the volcano gives Naples its wildness, the sea makes it broad and tolerant.

Castel Sant'Elmo in Naples is a relatively well-preserved castle in Naples. The castle is on a hill and there is a pedestrian street at the foot of the hill. There are many small accessories on the pedestrian street, which are said to be all handmade, as well as delicious shell pastries, which are very delicious and many tourists will buy them.
One of the best castles in Naples. Because of its location at the top of Naples, you can have a very breathtaking view of the city below. Close to the castle there is an old monastery - Certosa di San Martino, both are worth a visit. Many locals go there for a walk because Naples doesn't have many gardens and parks. You can also take an electric car to the castle or the cable car, both are only a five-minute walk away!

Galleria Umberto I and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan are collectively known as the "Double Galleria", which is both a tourist attraction in Naples and a shopping center in Naples. The gallery is magnificent and has the largest number of brand stores in Naples.
This corridor is also quite interesting. The whole building itself is very distinctive. Umberto is also a very distinctive emperor. The naming method of this building is also quite interesting. Both sides of the corridor have very clean decorative patterns.

such a huge plaza and great space for a concert or gathering, nice structural building around.
The square is in front of the Royal Palace of Naples. You can see how big the square is from the window of the Royal Palace of Naples. There is a statue in the center of the square. Many tourists in the square think that the Royal Palace of Naples is a must-visit place, so many tourists gather here in the square!

Verified User Reviews
The theater was built in 1737 during the Popon Dynasty, 250 years ago, 40 years earlier than La Scala. The theater has staged operas by many composers of the Neapolitan School of the Baroque era, and has witnessed the creations of Haydn, Gluck, Verdi, Puccini and others. The orchestra seats were modified based on Verdi's suggestion.
Teatro San Carlo is one of the three largest opera houses in Italy and the oldest opera house in Europe that is still in use. It looks simple on the outside but is actually a big deal inside. In fact, it was originally part of the royal palace.
