Much to discover around the lovely charming old town of Pozzuoli, history, archaeology, authenticity, thermal baths..Lovely views of Vesuvius and out to the islands, one can take a trip easily to an island. Capo Miseno, Milliscola, Sciaccatiello beach, Monte de Procida - just get out and discover its beautiful!

I adore Pozzuoli. It's a bit quieter than Naples - but with great access to the ferries and train line - so a great home base to travel to the major sites. To make things better, the price and quality of the food is awesome - and the clothing/shoes shops have a perfect price/adorable point. The night life is great (people hanging outside and along the waterfront until the wee hours). Super affordable ferry travel to Ischia and Procida. Plus, some of the nearby archaological sites are fantsatic (e.g. The Flavian Amphetheater, the temple of Serapide, and Cumae). There's been a significant effort in recent years to improve the lighting, and to make the area feel safer and more tourist-friendly. I really love this place.

The city, specially in the bay area, is vivid and nice. The historic city part is nice and you can get delicious food in good price. I recommend you Picea which is a pizzeria but one of the best Napolean-style pizza you can get in the area. It is also recommended to visit the island of Ischia by ferry (it takes 1 hour to get there and 1 hour to get back).

Pozzuoli is an authentic small town north of Naples. If you prefer a more intimate experience of Italy, come here. Can access the tourist areas of Naples, Baia, Solfatara, by train or bus, as well as many Roman archeological sites within the center of town. some great restaurants are also here. Easy access also to islands of Capri, Ischia, Procida. Stay away from restaurants on Via Napoli...tourist traps Driving is congested

Got a smashed window and hit and run theft from our car. Witnesses were completely passive. Please be aware of the very high criminality in this area. But we were pleasantly surprised by a local chocolate festival and there are many roman remains to look at in the area.

Pozzuoli was a major Roman port and it still has a similar buzz to it. There are LOADS of places to eat and relax in for all sorts of budget. The town has many aspects to it and some stunning views of the coastline and islands. Its located 40 minutes by train north west of Naples and is more of a very large town than a city. There is a massive Roman amphitheatre in town which you can visit - 8 euros gets you a 2-day pass to that and 3 other archaeological sites round Pozzuoli. The town's location means it's easier to get across to the islands of Ischia and Procida than it is from Naples. Conversely if you want to visit Pompeii or Sorrento it takes longer. You can buy a 32 euro "ArteCard" from the airport at Naples or from train stations, that will give you three days of free public transport plus free entry to two historical sites (eg the Pompeii complex, or the Naples museum of archaeology, or the Pozzuoli sites), PLUS then half price tickets on any further sites during the three days of the travelcard's use. Excellent and pays for itself very quickly. Pozzuoli-Solfatara is the main railway station. 2.20 euros to get to Naples - bargain. It's worth stopping off at some of the stops along the way just to have a mosey around - for example at Cavaleggeri Aosta 10 minutes away, there is a fairly good zoo. Quick note for the sensitive-nosed or the fusspots - the Solfatara that gives the railway station its name is a volcanic plateau just out of town, that you can't currently visit, that released sulphurous fumes that carry down into the town, so it can get quite aromatic in the town. Didn't bother me because it added to the character of the place but there we have it!
