National Archaeological Museum

Naples has 36 museums and if you've only time for one it must be the National Archaeological Museum (Piazza Museo 19) one of Europe's best collections of ancient history. Anything portable from Pompeii's excavations was brought to this grand old palace. You'll wander through huge halls stuffed with stunning statues, jewels and even Roman erotica.

Pompeii

The World Heritage site of Pompeii is the other side of Vesuvius, a short bus or train ride away. You'll stroll paved streets and peep in houses, shops and public buildings of the Roman town preserved for 2000 years beneath volcanic ashes.

Capri Island

The sumptuous island of Capri is just 40 minutes by boat but its exotic mix of ancient history and jet-set glamour make it seem light years from Naples' hurly-burly. Star attractions include boats to the Blue Grotto cave, Emperor Tiberius's villa, plus posh shops, restaurants and gardens that cater to Capri's millionaire residents. Look out for celebrities too…
