I really like this town. It's laid-back attitude and charming main square make for a nice alternative to Rome. Visiting the ruins is great, but making the promenade in the evening while watching the sunset is a great, peaceful passtime. More

This really is THE best ice-cream. Great family owned business, just opened in April 2012. All homemade on the premises. Rain or shine it's worth a visit. If you love ice-cream , you'll love Punto Freddo. On Via Lepanto just off the main Piazza. Enjoy. More

Pompeii seems very poor and neglected, despite the high street clothes stores. (Though as nothing compared to Naples, that was a shock indeed).

He was eventually awarded a papal knighthood. " I knew none of this when I when to mass at the lovely cathedral... More

So much fun! Ps the gelatti was excellent and most definately homemade. Just down the street friom the hotel, there was a neat little shop. The... More

it´s a calm small town, even during high season, good shops, beautiful square, and many tents to buy souvenirs. people is very talkative, come close to start conversation! some good caffes just in front of Pompei Scavi door. The problem in Pompei is that they have a very strange time for opening and close shops. Sometimes you walk around and... More
