Sailing in the Golfo di Napoli
by extrajoce
Local sports in Naples include sailing in the bay. What more splendid way to view the city, with all its castles and the towering Vesuvio. For the more ordinary visitor, the boats make for charming additions to the view of the bay.
The Tangenziale
by sargentjeff
This stretch of highway is the throughfare in Napoli. It's much easier to take the "Tange" as we call it, than navigate through the city. Yes there is horrible traffic on the Tange at times, but at least you'll get there. Be careful, as people are very inconsiderate here, and will not hesitate to cut you off.
The sandard fare is always .65 cents euro. The tange starts where the A1 Autostrade meets with it in the east and slices through Naples west past Agnano.
Pay careful attention around the toll booths as drivers will do anything to jockey for position.
Pompei
by FinElina
The ruins of Pompei are very near the city of Naples, just take the Circumvesuviana train to Scavi di Pompei.
The area is huge so you might want to hire a guide (possibility to do this on site) or at least take a map of the area with you.
Guglia dell'Immacolata
by Willettsworld
This ornamental column of the Blessed Virgin stands in Piazza del Gesu and dates from 1750. Its construction was made possible thanks to a collection of funds from the people, organised by the Jesuit father Francesco Pepe. At the top stands a statue in gilded copper of the Immacolata, dating from 1753. Every year on 8th December, the feast of the "Immacolata", firemen place a wreath of flowers at the statue's feet, at the top of the column.
