    The Circumvesuviana costs under €4 and takes about an hour; ferries from Molo Beverello take about 45 minutes.

    Runs into Via Toledo, and the main sights lie within a 1 to 2 mile radius.

  5. Pompeii

    Day trip · Pompei

    Book ahead, go early to beat the heat, enter at Porta Marina by Pompei Scavi station, and leave big bags behind.

  6. House of the Vettii

    Historic site · Pompei

    Includes a frescoed room of gods used as a 2,000-year-old 'man cave' for drinking and gambling.

  7. Mount Vesuvius

    Hike · Vesuvio · brief mention

  8. Antica Pizzeria da Michele

    Restaurant · Forcella

    The margherita is a good baseline: an airy, thin crust that hangs over the edge of the plate.

  9. Castel Nuovo (Maschio Angioino)

    Historic site · San Ferdinando

    Often the first sight cruise passengers see, since it sits right beside the port.

  10. Gran Caffè Gambrinus

    Cafe · San Ferdinando

    Sip the sparkling water before ordering 'un caffè' at the bar; the ricotta-filled sfogliatella is a crunchy must.

  11. Galleria Umberto I

    Shopping · San Ferdinando

    Sits just across the street from Gambrinus.

  12. Piazza del Plebiscito

    Landmark · San Ferdinando

    Lies at the southern end of Via Toledo.

    Palace · San Ferdinando · brief mention

  14. Basilica of San Francesco di Paola

    Shopping · Toledo

    Shopping here is low-key and local; head to Piazza dei Martiri for high-end shopping.

  16. Quartieri Spagnoli

    Neighborhood · Quartieri Spagnoli

    Not a picture-perfect tourist playground; it shows Naples raw and unfiltered.

  17. Diego Maradona Mural

    Landmark · Quartieri Spagnoli

    Street stalls nearby serve limonata a cosce, a fizzy lemon drink with bicarbonate.

  18. Naples Cathedral (Duomo di San Gennaro)

    Temple · Centro Storico

  19. Pio Monte della Misericordia

    Museum · Centro Storico

    Caravaggio's dramatic lighting and intensity make the painting a must-see.
