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.
