Naples
A UNESCO-listed historic centre, a live volcano, and the doorway to Pompeii.
Naples is the second-busiest cruise port in Italy and the access point for Pompeii, Herculaneum and Vesuvius, but the city itself is the reason to stay: a dense historic centre, an archaeological museum holding the best of what was dug out of both sites, and a food culture that does not perform for anyone.
