Salerno is a coastal city known for its broad seafront, medieval centre and the Duomo di Salerno. It feels more lived-in than polished, mixing everyday southern Italian life with a strong historical character.
Matera is known for the Sassi, ancient cave districts carved into a limestone ravine. Rock-hewn churches, steep lanes and restored stone houses give the city a stark, historic character.
Naples is a lively city on the Bay of Naples, known for pizza, faded grandeur and the presence of Vesuvius. Its historic centre is dense and energetic, where churches, street life and sea views sit close together.
Bari is a lively Adriatic city known for Bari Vecchia, the Basilica di San Nicola and its strong Apulian character. Historic lanes, street food and a working seafront give it an everyday southern Italian atmosphere.
Caserta is best known for the Royal Palace of Caserta, whose scale and gardens define the city’s character. Beyond the palace, it feels like a relaxed Campanian city with broad streets, local cafés and a link to historic silk-making in nearby San Leucio.
