GETTING THERE

Not entirely easy. Posillipo, the area with the villa of very rich people, is not very well served by public transportation, maybe not surprisingly. The area of Bagnoli and Coroglio is served with the linea Cumana, the stop Bagnoli is very close to the pontile.

WHAT TO SEE

Parco Virgiliano, for sure. It’s easier to reach by car. There is an ancient tunnel that goes right under the park, Grotta di Seiano. It can be visited with a tour, and the visit includes the archeological site of Pausylipon.

The area of Bagnoli-Coroglio is a former industrial site, where steel was produced until a few years ago. Now the area is (slowly) being converted into a park, aquarium, sport facilities and all that. I like the pontile, a 1km dock that you can walk all the way in the middle of the gulf.

EATING

If you decide to walk along via Posillipo, which is a nice walk anyway, you find Piazza San Luigi. There is a once popular take-away there, Elettroforno. A few meters further on via Posillipo the famous gelateria Bilancione. The view is also very nice from here.
