Climb to Naples' best viewpoint and step inside a 13th-century fortress carved from volcanic rock. Your ticket includes entry to Castel Sant'Elmo, a self-guided audio tour, a digital map, and access to the Museo del Novecento's celebrated collection of Neapolitan art. Built in the 1200s, this star-shaped castle once served as a military outpost — its position at the top of the city made it nearly impregnable. Follow your audio guide through the fortress walls and courtyards, and save time for the panoramic terrace, where you'll get uninterrupted views over Naples and Mount Vesuvius. Afterward, head into the Museo del Novecento, housed within the castle, to explore an extensive collection of 20th-century Neapolitan artwork.

Discover the Archaeological Park of Herculaneum, one of the best-preserved ancient Roman sites in the world. Buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, this remarkable city was sealed under volcanic material that preserved its buildings, furniture, and even wooden structures in extraordinary detail — often better than nearby Pompeii. Wander through ancient streets and step into elegant houses adorned with vivid frescoes and mosaics, explore Roman shops and thermal baths, and admire the celebrated House of the Deer. Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum was a smaller, wealthier residential town, offering visitors an intimate, vivid glimpse into everyday Roman life. Make the most of your visit with our digital audio guide, available directly on your smartphone. Explore at your own pace while expert commentary brings each building and artifact to life, revealing the stories hidden beneath the ash.
