Welcome to Naples, the perfect starting point for your road trip in Italy! Pick up your rental car and let the adventure begin. You will spend 2 nights discovering what to see in Naples before embarking on the next leg of your journey.

Naples is a beautiful city with plenty to discover. If you arrive before check-in time or prefer to get started on your sightseeing right away, we recommend checking out Piazza Del Plebiscito. Taking a stroll in the city center is a great alternative. Soak in the lovely atmosphere and sit down for a bit to eat or drink.

Find your way to your hotel in Naples. We recommend choosing a hotel in a central location for easy exploring. Check-in typically starts between 2 and 4 PM at hotels in Italy. Settle in and make plans for the evening.

As dinnertime approaches, it's time to head out for a bite to eat. If you are looking to dine at a popular restaurant in Naples, it's often a good idea to reserve a table in advance.

Don’t miss out on dining at L'Oca Nera Irish Pub, a top-rated dining destination in Naples.

On day 2 of your road trip, you’ll start and end your day in Naples, where you still have 1 night left. You'll spend part of the day exploring places of interest outside the immediate city, including Pompei and Sorrento.

When you’ve had your share of Naples, prepare for your next destination. Admire the views and listen to some good music as you drive in the direction of Pompei. Your travel time is around 27 min.

When you're ready for some sights, head to Archaeological Park Of Pompeii, a locally renowned archeological site in Pompei. Explore its historic features at your own pace before you continue your journey to your next attraction, Amphitheatre Of Pompeii. This well-known archeological site is a top recommendation in the area.

Once you're ready to continue your road trip, it's time to buckle up and drive, eagerly anticipating your arrival in Sorrento. This drive usually takes around 48 min, without any stops or traffic disruptions.

Basilica Sant'antonino is an up-and-coming church we recommend visiting today. Discover its monumental features before continuing your self-guided tour to Villa Comunale Di Sorrento, an enchanting park that’s well-regarded in the area.

Next, stop by Cathedral Of Saints Philip And James, a photogenic church. While you’re nearby, don’t forget to visit Parco Di Villa Fiorentino, an enchanting and truly unique park.

When you’re done exploring the area’s best attractions, you’ll drive back to your accommodation in Naples.

Naples is a place where the culinary landscape is as diverse as its attractions. So before the day ends, treat your palate to a taste of local cuisine at one of the best restaurants in Naples.

Treat yourself to a delightful dinner at Antica Pizzeria Di Matteo, highly recommended for tonight's dining. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, why not try Mercure Napoli Centro Angioino? It's another excellent option with a diverse menu. Consider reserving a table at La Lazzara Trattoria e Pizzeria as well. Known for its consistent customer satisfaction, it’s an ideal pick for tonight in Naples.

Cap off your dinner by heading to Archivio Storico - Cocktail Bar & Wonderfood, ideal for a leisurely evening with a drink in hand. Archeobar is another bar that offers an enjoyable setting. Similarly, Babette Pub is also a popular place to go on a night out, perfect for relaxing and socializing.

Savor another day of unforgettable experiences in Italy!

Day 3 of your road trip in Italy is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Naples before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.

If you're up for some more sightseeing, we recommend visiting Ovo Castle, a visually striking castle before you head out.
