Afternoon in Naples

After arriving back at the hotel, everyone enjoyed some relaxing time and I went for a walk in the old city.
At 4pm we caught a train and then a fenicular up the hill to the Castel San Elmo which overlooks the whole city of Naples and with a view of Vesuvius and the entire Bay of Naples. The fenicular is a train that travels up a hill but is stepped in the carriages so everyone is on a level platform while the vehicle travels at a steep angle.
The castle is an amazing medieval fortress which is well worth a visit on its own merits, but the fact of it’s amazing views of Naples means it is a must visit location.
After returning back to city level, we walked along Spaccanapoli and stopped for dinner and gelato in turn, and then back to the hotel at 10pm to turn in for the night, and to write this blog.
A great day in Pompeii and Napoli.もっと詳しく
