About 30km south of Naples lie the preserved ruins of Pompeii, destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD. A visit to Pompeii is a fascinating glimpse into history. You can also visit Mount Vesuvius and peer into the crater.

Dedicated to San Gennaro, this cathedral holds two phials of the saint’s blood which are said to liquefy on certain dates!
