Romantic Naples, two hours south of Rome, is the largest city in southern Italy. It has some of the world's best opera and theater houses and is often called an open-air museum, due to its many historic statues and monuments. Join families on promenade as the sun sets on the Bay of Naples. View finds from Pompeii and Herculaneum, destroyed by Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D., at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale or revel in the art and architecture of Museo Cappella Sansevero, built in the late 1500s.

If you are a dreamer, or remember in another life your aristocratic life in a millenium mansion this is the place for you. The house looks as is Princess Pignatelli just left it. Her books, her furniture, her pictures and the walls (paintings and souvenirs by camera), the sofas, the plates, the dining room her library: everything is here. Oh, I forgot: her garden, her pants her trees her gorgeous 'strelitzia' bushes (my favorite flower sometimes called oiseau paradis in French). Go everyday there, ask yourself why the bathroom looks upon the stairs with a bay window (- yes, true, why?). Nearby also the good looking carriage museum (most carriages made in Naples, poor guys and industry destroyed by the automotive industry). In the 'curies' (stables) of the princess. Unforgettable.

I walked in the Lungomare di Napoli area as part of a self-guided walking tour in August 2019. Looking out at the Bay of Naples and seeing Mount Vesuvius in the distance is an amazing experience. It was very hot in August and I made the mistake of walking in the sun. You can walk to the Lungomare di Napoli from Piazza Plebiscito. There were many younger people enjoying the beach and a lot of activity. But the image of the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius will always stay in my mind. It was really hot so I had to eventually turn around and walk in the shade.
