Campania

Notable towns in this region include

• Avellino
• Benevento
• Caserta
• Naples (Napoli)
• Salerno

Naples is the capital of this famed area of Italy and no tour of Campania would be complete without a visit to it's cobbled streets. The city offers ornate Baroque churches, a world-class Royal Palace, two massive fortresses, superb museums and a vibrant cafe culture.

As home to the world-renowned Amalfi Coast, Mount Vesuvius, the ancient tragic city of Pompeii, and the romantic Isle of Capri, Campania was a must see on the "Grand Tour" of Europe.
