Campania
What you need to know before you go
The Campania region, stretching down the coast of southern Italy, is famed for the towns that are seemingly carved into cliff edges. The Amalfi coast is the most popular place to visit, which is best experienced on a road trip from Naples. Mount Vesuvius is an icon of the region, along with the stunning beaches found on the island of Capri.
To delve into the history of the region, a visit to Pompeii is a must. You can tour the excavated remains of this ancient Roman city, which was obliterated by one of Europe’s largest volcanic eruptions.
