landmark
A chaotic, soulful UNESCO old town of churches, alley shrines and the birthplace of pizza.
5 km · about 10 min drive
restaurant
The purists' pizzeria, serving only margherita and marinara from the same Forcella corner since 1870: wood-fired, folded 'a portafoglio', a few euros each. Take a number and wait; the queue moves faster than it looks.
5 km · about 10 min drive
cafe
Naples' belle-époque temple of coffee since 1860, facing Piazza del Plebiscito: birthplace of the 'caffè sospeso' tradition of paying forward a stranger's espresso. Sfogliatella and a scalding tazzulella at the marble counter is the canonical order.

The brooding volcano above Naples, climbable to a smoking crater rim with sweeping Bay of Naples views.
10 km · about 20 min drive

Ancient Roman city preserved in volcanic ash after the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
