    ★★★★★ Incredible, but come prepared!Absolutely mind-blowing place. Walking through the ancient streets is something I'll never forget. Seeing the plaster casts of the victims was haunting and made history feel very real.A must-do, but a few tips: **the site is huge and the stones are uneven** – wear very comfortable shoes! Also, **bring a hat and water** as there's not much shade.We got our tickets online in advance through Trip.com and it was super smooth, no wait at the entrance. Highly recommend doing that

    There are many popular tourist attractions in Italy, and the Amalfi Coast is definitely in the top 10. The approximately 50-kilometer-long coastline has been listed as a World Heritage Site for its rugged terrain, beautiful scenery and historic towns. It is also one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. There are so many people during the summer vacation, so it is a wise choice to avoid July and August. It is best to stay in a small town in Amalfi, but you can also choose to stay in Sorrento or Salerno for a day trip.

    The National Archaeological Museum of Naples is the first place to visit, because the Pompeii site is remarkable, but more than 90 percent of the things inside are in the museum, and the things of Herculaneum are also here. Especially this summer in hot European summer, if you want to walk in the big sun, exposed to the sun for two hours to dehydrate (to Pompeii), it is more appropriate to hide in this museum to enjoy slowly. There are several sculptures here that are absolutely not to be missed, such as the world's largest single ancient Greek sculpture "Cernes Bull", the standard photo version of the "Heracles statue", Alexander's mosaic murals, Pompeii brothel "Spring Palace map", parts to open your eyes. Don't miss it!

    The most popular attraction in Naples is to visit the statue "The Veiled Christ" at the Church of San Severo. However, you need to make an appointment to buy tickets, which are 12€ per ticket for adults. You are not allowed to take photos or videos after entering. You are also not allowed to use your mobile phone to capture pictures and read and translate... I can only translate the introduction outside the door with AI (the pictures here are just borrowed from the Internet): "The masterpiece "The Veiled Christ" by Neapolitan artist Giuseppe Sanmartino is located in the center of the nave of the San Severo Chapel. This sculpture shows Jesus removed from the cross and wrapped in a sacred shroud. The artist uses a transparent veil carved from marble to enhance the texture of every detail of the body. Many features of the statue - the slightly tilted head, the protruding blood vessels on the forehead, the folds of the veil slightly inhaled by the nose, the left hand that is not completely relaxed in death, and the stiff legs - give the work amazing realism and dramatic tension. The sculpture, completed in just a few months in 1753, was commissioned by Raimondo di Sangro, VII Prince of Sansevero. A pioneer of the early European Enlightenment, the prince was a fierce soldier, scholar, publisher, and first Grand Master of the Naples Freemasonry, but more importantly, a prolific inventor and an enterprising patron of the arts. Raimondo’s reputation as an alchemist and experimenter has spawned many legends, one of which concerns the veil of Christ carved by Sanmartino. For centuries, countless travelers, tourists, and even scholars have mistaken the amazing transparency of the shroud for a miracle achieved by the prince through some kind of alchemical "marble transmutation." However, rigorous research and contemporary documents confirm that the Veiled Christ is carved entirely from a single block of marble, without the help of any extraordinary means. More than 250 years later, when viewers gaze at this statue, they still cannot resist the thrilling visual illusion. In the end, Sanmartino, with his superb carving skills, realized the ultimate ambition that the prince had pursued throughout his life - to create eternal wonder.

    peaceful and calm island. and very expensive, just keep it in mind when you planning to visit if you not limited in budget stay here for two nights and enjoy amazing food and ambiance. Everything is very close, you have so many chances to meet celebrities, politicians in cafes or restaurants.but if you are not ready to pay 2000€ for one night in hotel, you could visit the island just with day trip by boat

    Capri Island has the Blue Grotto, which is known as one of the seven wonders of the world. The Blue Grotto is a limestone terrain and a sea cave. The entrance is under the cliff and is very small. The height above the sea surface is only 85 cm, so you can only enter by swimming or taking a boat on a calm sunny day. The Blue Grotto is called the "Blue Grotto" because the sunlight shines into the spacious cave from the narrow entrance, and is reflected by the blue water in the cave, making the entire sea cave appear a beautiful crystal blue.

    The Castel Nuovo in Naples, Italy, was built on the only way to enter Naples at that time. The Castel Nuovo was named "new" because it was compared to the older castle in Naples. The Castel Nuovo was both a royal palace and a defensive fortress, and it played a pivotal role in the city's defense system. The Castel Nuovo is located on a high slope by the sea in Naples, in front of the Naples Town Hall Square, and is one of the famous landmarks of Naples. The castle's walls consist of five cylindrical towers, which are connected by city walls. The battlements on the walls and towers are staggered, which are quite rugged and masculine in medieval architecture.
