Itineraries
Naples in three days with kids
The variant of the classic three-day plan that swaps two churches for the city aquarium and a pizza-making class.
The plan
Day 1: Lungomare in the morning, Castel dell'Ovo (free, climbable, fortifications kids love), pizza lunch at Da Michele, afternoon nap. Evening at the Stazione Zoologica aquarium in the Villa Comunale.
Day 2: Pompei in the morning (booking required, take the Circumvesuviana). Allow 2 hours not 4 — kids burn out. Afternoon at Castel dell'Ovo or Castel Sant'Elmo. Pizza-making class at Sorbillo Bambini.
Day 3: Capodimonte park (huge gardens, free, picnic area) and one room of the museum (Caravaggio). Gelato at Bilancione in Posillipo as the trip ender.
Where to stay

There's no single right answer. The right transfer depends on your luggage, your group size, when you arrive, and where on the coast you're staying.
