Pompeii
Some visitors skip Pompeii's National Archeological Museum. Don't. The exhibits help bring the ruins to life.
Amalfi Coast
The top 4 must-visit towns of this postcard-perfect coastal region are Amalfi, Positano, Ravello, and Sorrento.
Capri
Naples' dock for the high-speed hydrofoil ferry to Capri is conveniently close to where the cruise ships dock. Capri's top 3 highlights are the Blue Grotto, Hadrian's Villa, and San Michelle Villa.
Mt Vesuvius
Your bus or car drops you off just short of the volcano's summit. A trail leads up the rest of the way.
Herculaneum
These excavated ancient Roman ruins make an interesting excursion for those who have already seen Pompeii.
