Naples​

By far the most important city in the south of Italy, Naples is an exuberant mix of history, culture and grand architecture. 

The capital of Campania, it lies on the shores of the Bay of Naples where the haunting presence of Mount Vesuvius lies menacingly in the background. 

Naples can boast the longest continuously-open theatre in the world, Teatro San Carlo as well as a number of royal palaces and one of Europe's premier archaeological museums.
