1. I Faraglioni

The extraordinary and rugged beauty of Capri is signified by these timeless rock formations jutting from the sea.
Reviewed By Bidule005 - France, null
From the Arco naturale, we hiked to villa Malaparte and to Faraglioni de Capri, which are 3 iconic rocky peaks of the island. Their name comes directly from the geological term “faraglione”, meaning “rocky mass detached from the coast by erosion”. We were amazed by: - the Faraglione di Terra the highest (109 meters), which is still attached to the island - Faraglione di Mezzo (81 meters), which is crossed by a natural arch - Faraglione di Fuori (104 meters), which is the furthest from the coast - Scoglio del Monacone, which is more distant and whose name comes from the presence of monk seals, in older times. Altogether, I highly Recommend to hike to Faraglioni de Capri! Unfonrtunately, because we only spent one day in Capri, we had not time to go to Faraglioni using motor boat to have wonderful viewpoints on Faraglioni. I’ll come back!
2. Galleria Borbonica

Enchanting scenery that unfolds to the eyes of visitors, a secret place full of history and magic atmosphere.An emotional journey that conducts visitors in the new section of the underground of Naples. It is situated in Vico del Grottone 4, from to 150 mt. to Plebiscito Square. Until a few years ago it wasa veterinary laboratory, now is the entrance of the Bourbon Tunnel. A staircase with 8 ramps, 33 yards deep descending into the belly of Chiaia. The second entry is in Via Domenico Morelli,40, through the crosswalk of “Quick parking”.The Tunnel was built in 1853 by Ferdinand II of Bourbon, who, concerned about the outbreak of rebellion, he asked for an escape from the Royal Palace to the barrack in Via della Pace, now Via Morelli. The work was uncompleted and, during the second World War, was used by residents of the area as a military hospital, later becoming the Hall Judicial Deposit.The war left its mark even in the subsoil. That’s way there are handwrite, folding beds, messages of wish and desolation of those who lived it and still maintains its memory. Along the tunnel thereare also the evidences, 530 meters, where visitors can discover the history of real life. Through the spacious streets, it’s easy reachable the network of tunnels and cisterns of seventeenth-century,large buildings, where worked the "pozzari", the only connoisseur of Naples underground.The show is stunning, but that's not finished. On Via Morelli appear statues dating back to fascist period and many cars and motorcycles, abandoned for years, freed from piles of rubbish, arranged and illuminated ad hoc for the route.Nothing is left to chance, even lighting, perfectly integrated with the path of the visitors.Since today everything is possible to visit. Five years ago the scenery was completely different.Rubbish, degradation, wastes of all kinds covered the reliquaries.

3. Piazza del Plebiscito

This square of the people (plebiscito) is the largest in Naples and the site of two admirable monuments of the city: the Naples Royal Palace and the Church of San Francesco di Paola.
Reviewed By Dc3108 - Melbourne, Australia
This huge square free from traffic is sparse and surrounded by historic buildings that are too beautiful to ignore. The kids loved running around the huge square (not too many places you can do that in Naples) whilst we admired the majestic buildings and statues.

5. Via San Gregorio Armeno

4.5 based on 9,066 reviews
The tradition of representing the Holy Family as true art lives on in this narrow street, which is crowded on both sides with hundreds of artisan workshops with colorful displays of Nativity scenes.
Reviewed By Stardoe
I'd heard about this street and went especially to see it. It did not disappoint, but I was very suprised at how narrow it is and how crowded. Most of the time we were like sardines. The shops are full of wonderful nativitities and all the separate ornaments that allow people to build their own. Nativities with moving parts are very popular and there was a huge variety ranging from about 25 euros well into the hundreds. The seperate ornaments start at about 4 euros for the really tiny ones. If you plan to build your own nativity, take plenty of cash as the variey of ornaments is massive and you won't be able to stop at just the main ones. The street is quite long so if you want to have a really good look in all or most of the shops, you need at least an hour or more, especially if it's really crowded.

Reviewed By NSandM - Scottsdale, United States
Many people who visit aren’t familiar with the rich and diverse history of Naples, you can learn a lot about it just from the outside walls of the royal palace, for example there is a display of statues at the entrance facing piazza del Plebiscito, that depict each of the kings of Naples, the crazy thing being none of them came from the same place, they came from all different corners of the world and brought with them extensive culture and tribes that contribute to Naples’ diverse and unique culture. Buy a ticket take the tour!

10. Lupanar

Reviewed By tomj932 - London, United Kingdom
Lupanar really is an interesting one! Located a couple of blocks from the forum there was a queue to enter from outside. Inside the building is complete with walls and roof of which there are not many of in Pompeii. This isn’t the “interesting feature” however, adorning the walls are rather erotic (albeit faded) frescoes that may have once served as instruction or a menu for paying customers visiting the site. The concrete beds paint a harsh reality for the working women that appear to be exotic and probable slaves in the time from their fair complexions. Definitely an interesting visit, and I dare say what many people will consider their only visit to a brothel!
