Amalfi Coast Tours from Naples
14 Tours and Activities
The Amalfi Coast’s colorful seaside towns are an idyllic respite from busy Naples, and they’re close enough to make for an easy day trip. Here’s what you need to know about coastal tours, which handle all of the logistics so you can simply relax.
Group Tours
The Amalfi Coast is one of the most popular day trip destinations from Naples, so organized group tours of the area are plentiful. Some tours combine a visit to the excavated ancient Roman city of Pompeii or the charming nearby city of Sorrento with one or two Amalfi Coast towns, giving you a broader sense of the region. Group tours have the benefits of being budget-friendly, and they give you a chance to focus on sightseeing rather than navigating the notoriously difficult coastal road.
Private Tours
Choose a private tour of the Amalfi Coast for the kind of unique, intimate experience you can’t get with a group tour. Learn more about the history of Pompeii with a personal guide, or travel the coastal road in a vintage Fiat 500 or on the back of an iconic Italian scooter. Private tours are ideal for small groups traveling together and for those who want to custom-build their itinerary.
Things to Know
Though not technically part of the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento is often included on Amalfi Coast tours.
Naples to Sorrento is about 32 miles (51 kilometers) by road, or about half that distance by boat. Naples to Positano is about 39 miles (62 kilometers) by car.
There is no train service along the Amalfi Coast. Trains go only as far as Sorrento on one end and Salerno on the other; on the coast itself, tour buses and public buses are the main transportation options.
The winding coastal road can be a challenge for drivers who need to share the narrow turns with large buses and tiny scooters.

Capri Day Trips from Naples
18 Tours and Activities
With its tranquil coves, charming villages, and spectacular views, Capri is one of the highlights of the gulf of Naples. Reachable only by boat, the island makes for an easy day tour from Naples. Here’s what you need to know for a memorable trip.
Group Tours
Group tours offer the best value and mean you can maximize your time and cram multiple sites into one day. In addition to checking off the island’s top attractions—including the Blue Grotto, the Faraglioni rock formations, the Roman ruins of Villa Jovis, and the towns of Capri and Anacapri—many tours combine an island visit with stops at Pompeii, Sorrento, or the Amalfi Coast.
Private Tours
Private tours offer a more personalized experience and a flexibility itinerary that can be tailored to your interests. Enjoy the undivided attention of your private guide as you visit sights such as the Villa San Michele, the Gardens of Augustus, and Marina Grande; take a scenic boat ride around the Blue Grotto, or drive along the famous Mamma Mia! road. Alternatively, save time with a private speedboat transfer and explore the island at your own pace.
Things to Know
Capri island is located in the Bay of Naples and is reachable only by boat.
High-speed ferries take about 45 minutes from Naples.
Day tours from Naples typically last eight to 10 hours, and most tours include hotel pickup and round-trip transport by hydrofoil.
Capri has a Mediterranean climate, so be sure to wear sunblock and drink plenty of water if you’re visiting during summer.

Pompeii Tours from Naples
17 Tours and Activities
The excavated city of Pompeii offers visitors a genuine feel for ancient Roman life, as they can travel back in time to stroll the cobbled streets that were buried in volcanic ash nearly 2,000 years ago. Here’s how to best visit this UNESCO-listed site from Naples.
Half-Day Tours
The ruins of Pompeii are close enough to the center of Naples that it’s easy to visit the archaeological site with a half-day tour. Fit it into your trip to Naples with a morning or afternoon trip, but keep in mind that there’s not much shade so it’s best to bring sun protection in summer. You’ll be back in Naples in time for an evening out exploring the city.
Full-Day Tours
With a full-day tour, you can add other destinations and activities to a Pompeii tour, including a hike up to the crater of Mt. Vesuvius—the volcano that buried the city in the first place. Another option is to visit Pompeii and Herculaneum, a smaller yet better preserved ancient city also buried by Vesuvius. For a break from history, consider a tour that combined Pompeii with an exploration of Sorrento or the stunning Amalfi Coast.
Things to Know
The excavated ancient city of Pompeii is set 16.6 miles (26.5 kilometers) from Naples.
Pompeii tours involve quite a bit of walking over uneven surfaces, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes. Bring water and sunscreen during warm weather, too.
Half-day tours tend to be five hours or fewer, while some full-day tours can be about nine hours long.

Top Day Trips from Naples
12 Tours and Activities
As one of the busiest ports and transport hubs in southern Italy, Naples serves as a convenient jumping-off point for the Amalfi Coast and Capri; the archaeological sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum; and Mt. Vesuvius. Here are some of the best day trips from Naples.
The Amalfi Coast — about 40 miles (60 kilometers) away
Located just south of Naples, this famous stretch of coastline is characterized by dramatic cliffs and colorful fishing villages that appear to tumble into the sea. Skip the hassle of car hire on a boat or bus tour of coastal villages Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello; most Amalfi Coast excursions also include a stop in the resort town of Sorrento.
Capri — about 25 miles (40 kilometers) away
The fashionable island of Capri has served as a retreat for the world’s celebrities and intellectuals for centuries. Join a day cruise to get the best views of the Faraglioni sea stacks and the Blue Grotto. Private and small-group boat tours generally let you swim in the island’s crystalline waters and dock at Marina Grande, from where you’ll have free time to explore the island.
Pompeii and Herculaneum — about 15 miles (25 kilometers) away
Archaeology buffs will jump at the chance to explore two of the world’s most significant Roman ruins. The ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were both buried beneath layers of mud and ash during the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD, which preserved them over the millennia. Today, day trips allow you to see the remains of houses, shops, and temples that were once lavishly covered in frescoes and mosaics.
Mt. Vesuvius — about 10 miles (15 kilometers) away
Mt. Vesuvius is one of the most striking features along the Bay of Naples. Venture to the edge of its upper cone and you’ll be rewarded with views that stretch to the island of Capri.

The country's third-largest city, it has amenities at all price ranges and makes a cost-effective base for exploring the Bay of Naples’ ancient attractions. Here’s how to stretch your euros.
Visit Art-Filled Churches
Many of Naples’ artistic treasures can be seen at little to no cost inside places of worship that are open to the public. Check out frescoes by Giotto in Santa Chiara church, Byzantine mosaics at the Cathedral of Naples baptistery, and the ancient Roman ruins buried under the Basilica of San Lorenzo Maggiore.
Walk or Bike
The compact historical center of Naples is ideal for wandering on foot or exploring by bicycle. It doesn’t cost a thing to soak up the scene in public squares such as Piazza San Domenico Maggiore or stroll through the labyrinth of old Naples’ backstreets. Guided walking and bike tours can reveal hidden corners brimming with history.
Take Advantage of Low-Cost Day Trips
Naples is well positioned as a jumping-off point for southern Italian highlights such as Pompeii, Mount Vesuvius, and the Amalfi Coast.

Dig In to Neapolitan Pizza

With three days in Naples, there’s plenty of time to explore the city’s historic sights and museums, head out of town on a trip into the country, to the coast, or to explore the ruins of nearby Pompei—and, of course, lots of chances to enjoy the city’s famous pizzas. Here are a few excellent ways to spend 3 days in and around Naples.

Another option for covering ground quickly is to take a Segway tour or get a bit of exercise on a guided bike tour.

How to Find the Best Pizza in Naples
10 Tours and Activities
Naples is the birthplace of pizza, and one of the best places in Italy to find great examples of this now ubiquitous Italian food. Authentic Neapolitan pizza may not be as easy to find as you think, though. Here’s how to experience the real deal.
Highlights
A traditional pizza in Naples arrives whole and is eaten with a knife and fork, partly because the crust is so thin that it wouldn’t hold up to being sliced.
One pizza is considered a single serving, so each diner usually gets his or her own.
Ingredients must be of exceptionally high quality or a pizzeria won’t get the local seal of approval.
Pizza Walking Tours
Learning what to look for when you’re choosing a pizzeria in Naples is key, and it’s the kind of insider knowledge you’ll get on a food-focused walking tour. Some tours in Naples include a pizza dinner, while others stop for several types of street food—including pizza—to give you a broader overview of the city’s culinary offerings.

Get beyond simply eating Naples’ most famous dish with a pizza-making class. Learn from an expert how to create an authentic Neapolitan pizza, from making the perfect crust to adding just the right amount of each topping.
