The Vatican Museums and especially the sublime Sistine Chapel will complete this Roman stop in a sumptuous way.
Day 4: Naples - day 1

Head south for two days in Naples. Its enigmatic character is a source of frustration for many visitors and it takes some time to tame it and enjoy it fully. But it remains an extraordinary city, a curious mix of civilizations because it has always been at the crossroads of worlds. Discover the city and let your instincts guide you!
Day 5: Naples - day 2
Steps: Naples
Each of the neighborhoods is magical and has its own identity, but you can concentrate your visits around the ancient center and the Bay of Naples. Also worth discovering is the Spanish Quarter, one of the poorest but also the most authentic for its atmosphere. Walk through the historical center and view the gulf of Naples, via Caracciolo. See also the Museo Archeologico (antiquities) or the palace-museum of Capodimonte (Renaissance and Baroque). Lovers of opera will go to the San Carlo theater, while night lovers will opt for the bars and discotheques with their lively atmosphere.

Day 6: Pompeii and Herculaneum
This day will be dedicated to the visit of the ancient cities: Pompeii and its famous Vesuvius, and Herculaneum, only 15 km away from each other.
