Car Hire at Naples Airport

Airport travel guide

Naples, which has been continuously inhabited for more than 2,500 years, is a fascinating city to visit. Its diverse architecture, delicious cuisine, and the fabulous beaches surrounding it attracts thousands of Britons every year. Although Naples can feel more raw and chaotic than Milan, Florence, or Rome, it provides everyone with a travel experience of a lifetime. Here is the pick of its attractions:

• Santa Chiara. Not only an impressive Gothic church but a whole complex of architectural gems and sights, Santa Chiara is one of the most interesting places in Naples. Built in the 14th century, it is home to an old monastery, ornate interior, and an archaeological museum. Santa Chiara is located across the street from the Baroque Gesù Nuovo church which, while very different, is also an awe-inspiring place to visit.
• Underground Napoli. While Naples is home to an absolute wealth of churches, palaces, theatres, and villas, the city is also nearly as fascinating below the street level. Its subterranean attractions include ancient labyrinths, the remains of a Graeco-Roman amphitheatre and marketplace, the beautiful tomb of the famous poet Virgil, and Galleria Borbonica, an ancient tunnel that was later used as a hiding place during the World War II. 
• National Archaeological Museum. MANN, which will be celebrating its 250th birthday in 2027, is one of the most important cultural institutions of Naples. Although its seemingly endless collections span the cultural heritage of two and a half millennia, the museum is especially known for its amazing Roman artifacts. It is also known for the distinctively reddish hue of its facade.
• Pompeii. Buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, the city of Pompeii is one of the most famous excavated sites in the world. Its many attractions include the forum, the House of Faun, Apollo’s temple, public baths, and many other parts of the city where life thrived before the eruption. If you liked Pompeii, consider also visiting Herculaneum, a smaller but equally interesting settlement covered by the same eruption that is even closer to Naples.
• Sorrento. Sitting on the coast of the Bay of Naples an hour’s drive north of the city (and only 40 minutes from Pompeii), Sorrento is the embodiment of a leisurely Italian holiday. Picturesque and historical, this town has pretty architecture, amazing restaurants, and some of the most idyllic beaches in the region. If you’re with a friend who can drive or if you stay for the night, make sure to try the famous limoncello. From Sorrento, you can take the ferry to the nearby island of Capri, a similarly quaint destination.
