Take the blue metro line from Napels, not the grey Train because that one goes to the harbour of Pozzuoli. It is a short walk down to the Amphiteatre. Good explanations on the panels. Amazing structures they made 2000 years ago. Only how they flooded the channel for theatre shows was not clear to me. Close to the entrance is... More

For 4 euro, you can visit not only these ruins, but many around in 24 hours since they are all included in price.

My husband and I could not believe how this AMAZING place has very few people and no guards ! We were free to go everywhere and I even climbed up on a pedestal and had my photo taken ! Try that in the Coliseum ! Not much else is exciting in Pozzuoli other than seeing Cumae and Solfitara .

This is a massive Roman amphitheatre, which had a seating capacity of 40,000. It is the third largest (the largest being at Rome). The bonus here is that you can appreciate it with hardly any fellow tourists, so can go down below to the underground where the caged animals (lions etc) and equipment were stored and get a feeling of...
