HISTORICAL CENTER

Naples’s heart is the historical centre, which UNESCO has declared a Cultural Heritage site, and it is not too far from the conference venue.
A swarm of churches and buildings of Romanic, Gothic and Baroque styles characterizes the old town.
Completing a tour of the city would require some time, as the number of attractions is so high. We strongly suggest visiting the following places:

More information on the historical centre is available at this link.

OUTSIDE NAPLES

Many places are worth visiting outside the metropolitan city of Naples.
We recommend the following places:

Pompeii

Pompeii was an ancient Roman town. Along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, Pompeii was mostly destroyed and buried by volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Pompeii has been a tourist destination for over 250 years. Today it has UNESCO World Heritage Site status and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy, with approximately 2.5 million visitors every year.

Capri

Capri is a wonderful island (known as the “Pearl of the Mediterranean Sea”) located in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the Sorrento Peninsula, on the south side of the Gulf of Naples. Some of the main features of the island include: the Marina Piccola (the little harbour), the Belvedere of Tragara (a high panoramic promenade lined with villas), the limestone crags called sea stacks that project out of the sea (the Faraglioni), the town of Anacapri, the Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra), and the ruins of the Imperial Roman villas.

Amalfi and Sorrento Coasts

These two coasts (on two opposite sides of the mountains of the “Parco dei Monti Lattari”) are known all over the world for their amazing views, for the architecture, the sea and the food. We strongly suggest visiting Ravello, Amalfi, Positano and Sorrento.
