🏛️ What You'll See

• Plebiscito Square — Naples' grand neoclassical plaza surrounded by the Royal Palace and San Francesco di Paola church
• San Gregorio Armeno — famous artisan street known for handcrafted nativity scenes and traditional Neapolitan crafts
• Via Partenope — elegant seafront promenade offering panoramic views of the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius
• Castel Dell'Ovo — Naples' oldest castle built on the ancient Roman villa of Lucullus
• Pompeii Forum — the civic and religious center where Romans conducted business and worshipped their gods
• Pompeii residential areas — preserved houses showing daily life before the 79 AD eruption. The combination of bustling modern Naples with silent ancient Pompeii illustrates 2,000 years of continuous civilization around Vesuvius.

🗺️ The Itinerary
