​​The main sights of Pozzuoli itself are the Flavian Amphitheatre and the Macellum/Temple of Serapis but there are a large number of places to see within a very short distance. Among those are the Solfatara geological site and the archaeological sites of Cumae, Baia and Pausilypon. There's also the beach at Miseno and the centre of Naples is reachable by train in 25 minutes.

Pronunciation of the town's name can sometimes cause difficulties but just put two English words together and you're pretty much there with: Pots Wally :-)
