1. One Of The Best Day Trips From Naples: <\/strong>The Ruins Of Herculaneum<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWe wanted to start not with the obvious but the less obvious. Herculaneum is the less famous cousin of Pompeii. The now-famous 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius destroyed both Pompeii and the neighboring Herculaneum.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, today, all the honors go to Pompeii. Almost every person in the world knows what Pompeii is, yet very few know about Herculaneum. This is a big shame if you ask us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First of all, Herculaneum is more preserved. When you get there, you will find most of the houses and other monuments almost intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Second, Herculaneum is rarely crowded. As we have already said, these ruins are less known and are visited<\/a> in smaller numbers. It is also smaller and easier to see in greater detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\nVisiting Herculaneum is very easy, as trains go to it from Naples every hour or so. You do not even have to worry about time as you will have plenty of it to see these ruins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n2. Pompeii<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nEven though Herculaneum is more beautiful, in our opinion, you cannot miss Pompeii. Well, the best day trips from Naples always have to include both Pompeii and Herculaneum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The entire city of Naples lives in the shadow of the mighty Vesuvius. However, only Pompeii can genuinely say that it knows the might of Vesuvius. You can see the mountain when in Pompei, and you can truly grasp the strength of the only active volcano in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you go to Pompeii, you need to be ready. The place is more massive than most people think, so you have to go there as early as you can. On top of that, if you go in the summer, it is very hot, so you will need to bring lots of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, getting to Pompeii is the easiest part. You can quickly reach it from Naples via train, which goes there throughout the day.

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n3. <\/strong>One Of The Best Day Trips From Naples: <\/strong>Mount Vesuvius<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nNaturally, no visit to Naples can be complete without seeing Vesuvius. You literally cannot go without seeing it because of its massive size which can be seen from almost anywhere in Naples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, you can best experience it not from afar, but by standing on it. The mountain is very tall, but you can still take an organized tour and hike up in an hour or less. You will find it challenging, but the experience you will get at the top is entirely worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To reach Mount Vesuvius, all you need is to take a fast train from Naples that takes you near the bottom to the Ercolano Scavi station. Then you need to take one of the Vesuvio Express buses that go to the starting point of the moderately challenging hike<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSalerno to Mercato San Severino Trains<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nPescara to Naples Trains<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nBracciano to Manziana Trains<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nSanta Marinella to Bracciano Trains<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Mount](\"https:\/\/saveatrain-12e85.kxcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Mount-Vesuvius.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n4. Positano On The Amalfi Coast<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe entire Amalfi Coast<\/a> is just begging to be seen. Once you go there, you quickly realize why. The massive cliffs are awe-inspiring, and the beauty of the sea is indescribable.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou need to take a train<\/a> ride to either Sorrento or Salerno. Then you can take a bus or rent a car to go over the tiny roads that traverse the Amalfi coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPositano is right in the middle of the coast and is the most beautiful town<\/a> on it. If you ever saw any pictures of towns on the Amalfi Coast, you have most likely seen Positano. The fame that surrounds the city is deserved, as the scenery is breathtaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBari to Naples Trains<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nPotenza to Naples Trains<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nSalerno to Naples Trains<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nTaranto to Naples Trains<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. <\/strong>One Of The Best Day Trips From Naples: <\/strong>Sorrento<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSorento is a small town that sits on the opposite side of the Amalfi coast. It is thus closer to Naples, and you can also very easily reach it via local train<\/a> lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe town boasts a couple of striking beaches and a magnificent old town. Most people go to Sorrento, not for the sea and the terrifying cliffs, but the history. Sorrento is truly a quintessential old Italian town. It is much smaller than Naples and has that true old Italian spirit only small Italian cities of the south can have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On top of that, you should definitely visit Sorrento on one of your best day trips from Naples because of Capri. The isle of Capri is close by and is by far one of the most beautiful small isles you will ever see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n6. The Island Of Ischia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSeveral gorgeous islands surround Naples. However, by far the most beautiful one is Ischia, and here is why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Ischia is the largest island in the Bay of Naples<\/li>
- Ischia has it all: beaches, thermal waters, restaurants, and magnificent buildings<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
It is the best place for relaxation in Naples. You can also get to it quickly by taking a boat from the center of Naples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n7. Reggia Di Caserta: The Italian Versailles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThey do not call this massive 1200 room palace the Italian Versailles for nothing. The palace is filled with monumental staircases and is a Unesco World Heritage Site<\/a>. You will also find lavish royal apartments and a collection of presepi \u2013 Christmas cribs of Naples.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAll in all, you cannot go wrong by visiting this massive palace. You can take a train from the central station in Naples and get out at the Caserta station. The palace is only a short walk afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
