SightsClosed Sundays
Castel Nuovo (Maschio Angioino)
The huge medieval castle facing the cruise terminal, with a Renaissance triumphal arch at its gate and a civic museum inside. Closed on Sundays.
- Many places close one day a week: the Archaeological Museum and Cappella Sansevero on Tuesdays, the Royal Palace on Wednesdays, and Castel Nuovo on Sundays.
- Pompeii is about 70 minutes each way by metro and the Circumvesuviana train. Trains can be crowded and occasionally cancelled, so leave a good margin.
- Ferries to Capri leave from Molo Beverello, next to the cruise terminal. Sailings depend on the weather.
- On busy days some ships berth at other quays of the port, which can add a few minutes' walk or a shuttle.
