Naples
Plus de 130 ans à nous deux, une envie de découvrir la baie de Naples. Un billet easyjet, un hôtel petit déjeuner inclus très proche de la place Bellini, et transport en commun sur place. Séjour fin mai.
Ce post pour aider ceux qui hésiteraient à aller à Naples.
Nous décidions de notre programme de la journée au petit déjeuner en fonction de la météo.
Premier jour , météo couverte, Pompéi, transport en train, il y a du monde. Sur place extra.
Deuxième jour, il pleut, musée archéologique de Naples le matin, un tour rue de Toledo , galerie Umberto, place du peuple , puis jusqu’au port, repérage pour le bateau pour Capri. Que du métro avec un ticket journalier acheté dans un tabac 3'50€.
Troisième jour, Sorrentto aller retour en train.
Quatrième jour Capri en bateau , on achète son billet juste avant de partir, une demie heure au port Attention au retour, je conseille d acheter son billet de retour à l arrivée sur l île
Cinquième jour, funiculaires et retour par le bord de mer à pied jusqu’à la station municipio.
Pour les repas, Naples est pleine de petits établissements pas cher. Il faut aimer les pâtes et les pizzas.
Pour nous aider dans notre périple, le lonely-planet et le guide voir.
Pour conclure, nous y retournerons bientôt.
Resto
oui, Naples est une chouette destination.
j'y suis allée il y deux ans, 10 jours plein, un début juillet, avec filles et petites filles.
total bonheur.
séjour très riche et contacts très sympa avec les voisins du quartier ou nous avions loué un appartement.

Jour1: On ouvre les rideaux, météo voilée. C'est décidé, aujourd'hui Pompéi. Petit déjeuner, on achète les billets de métro au tabac pour se rendre à la gare centrale. Superbe métro, j'y reviendrai. Deux billets pour Pompéi, on suit les touristes. Train usé, pas de place assise mais bon. L'entrée du site en face la gare . Vous pouvez prendre un plan à l office du tourisme juste à côté des billets. Pompéi superbe, mérite plusieurs heures. L'ennemi c'est le soleil, n'oubliez pas casquette, crème solaire et de l'eau. A l'intérieur, il y a de quoi se restaurer et des toilettes. Au retour, le train est bondé, mais cela valait le déplacement. On dine de spaghettis aux fruits de mer dans une petite pizzeria à côté de l hôtel, excellent.
La suite bientôt......
Resto
Jour 2. On ouvre les rideaux, il pleut , une vraie pluie d’orage. Je descends boire un café, cela ne se bouscule pas au petit déjeuner. C’est décidé, ce matin c’est le musée archéologique de Naples, suite logique à la visite dePompéi. C’est juste à côté, un quart d’heure d’attente. 13 ou 15 € par personne, je n’ai pas noté. On commence par les sculptures, on poursuit par les mosaïques. Un musée magnifique à ne pas manquer, comptez une demie journée. L’après midi, la fameuse rue Toledo, la galerie Umberto 1er et reconnaissance du port pour acheter les billets vers les îles du golfe de Naples. On achète son titre de transport juste avant de partir, c’est pratique, cela fonctionne bien. Retour en métro, fatigués. On dine au restaurant de l hôtel, original par sa formule. Un buffet italien ( sympathique) on paye au poids. Un petit tour dans le quartier historique pour conclure la journée. Beaucoup de monde, on se sent en sécurité.
Resto
Jour 3. J’ouvre les rideaux, soleil ! Nous décidons d’aller à Sorrento. Direction la gare centrale, le même train que pour Pompéi. Là, on a mal joué, on aurait du se renseigner et prendre un direct. Bref une bonne heure de trajet. Arrivés à Sorrento, nous nous adressons à l office de tourisme situé juste à côté de le gare. Excellent accueil en français, un plan de ville avec un circuit et une très bonne adresse pour déjeuner. Sorrento c’est l’inverse de Naples. Naples est très grande, ici , nous sommes dans une petite station balnéaire. A la question Naples ou Sorrento, je préfère dire Sorrento serait la suite de Naples. On flâne, c’est très, très touristique, le citron est décliné à toute les sauces, de la glace à la savonnette . Retour à l’hôtel, on dinera dans une petite pizzeria très simple, excellent, puis promenade dans le quartier historique.
Resto
Jour 4. J’ouvre les rideaux, il fait beau. Aujourd’hui nous allons à Capri.
Nous avons apprécié tout au long de notre séjour la localisation de notre hôtel, place Bellini, centrale et bien desservie en transport en commun. Deux stations de métro juste à côté. Donc trois stations plus loin, nous arrivons au port. Là, ce n’est pas compliqué, les départs sont affichés, vous faites la queue, vous achetez, 20€ le trajet simple par personne soit 80€ les deux allers retours.Bateau rapide, confortable, un peu de brume nous gêne pour le paysage. Une petite heure plus tard, on arrive.
C’est une ambiance, il y a vraiment du monde. C’est déjà beau. On repère où acheter les tickets retour, à gauche du port en regardant la mer. Notre stratégie, c’est de se promener, se laisser porter selon nos envies. Capri c’est comme dans l’aile ou la cuisse, « si tu n’as pas les moyens…»'
Nous montons à la ville haute avec le funiculaire, 1,50€ et là une terrasse avec une vue, c’est très beau. Architecture respectée, végétation méditerranéenne, et toujours la foule…. On flâne, on déjeune d'une pizza en terrasse, une glace citron fraise sur la place, on regarde, on profite des paysages…..puis vient l heure du retour 16h. Beaucoup de monde, la queue au funiculaire et pas de bateau avant 19h30, le dernier pour Naples. On prend notre mal en patience au port de Capri. Il y a pire comme lieu pour patienter. On rentre épuisé, diner dans une trattoria à côté, salade de poulpe, pâtes fraîches.
Capri c’est vraiment très joli, mais aujourd’hui j’aimerai bien aller découvrir Ischia .
Resto
Quand on est monté à Anacapri il y a une alternative pour redescendre au port : les escaliers phéniciens .
c'est très sympas et la vue est vraiment très belle .
(½ heure de marche je crois .)
Jour 5, J'ouvre les rideaux, il fait beau, aujourd’hui on reste à Naples.
Les jours précédents, bien que je ne l’ai pas écrit, nous avons visité d innombrables églises. Pour commencer la journée nous sommes à la recherche d’un petit cadeau pour les petits enfants. Pas facile, beaucoup de magasin de souvenirs , enfin notre choix se porte sur une dînette pour la petite fille et une belle sonnette pour le vélo du petit fils, un livre sur Pompéi pour tous les deux et une pierre du Vésuve que j’ai moi-même cherché. Les commerces à Naples sont surtout des petites échoppes. C’est bien sympathique.
Il est onze heures, le soleil est là, nous partons à l 'ascension de la plus belle vue de Naples, au Castel Sant'Elmo.Pour cela on emprunte le funiculaire, toujours avec le même ticket de transport en commun journalier. La vue est brumeuse, normal en plein zénith. Nous descendons de l’autre côté de la ville toujours en funiculaire.
Nous revenons avenue Toledo par le bord de mer, avec un objectif, manger une glace avec vue sur le Vésuve. Naples commence à aménager son bord de mer pour les piétons et les cyclistes, enfin on trouve un petit établissement où nous serons les seuls touristes pour manger notre glace.
Je ne vais pas vous raconter toute notre promenade napolitaine, mais vous conseiller un guide papier que nous avons trouvé à la librairie du musée archéologique. Le fil rouge de ce guide est la ligne de métro, vous trouverez un descriptif de chaque station , un plan détaillé autour de celle-ci, des intérêts, musées, curiosités, etc. Vraiment un très bon guide édité par la commune de Naples.
Il est 18 heures, c’est l’heure de l apéritif, pour nous cela sera un Spritz et un lemon soda en terrasse Piazza S Domenico Maggiore. La suite bientôt…..
Resto
C’est terminé, on rentre. Nous sommes très contents de notre séjour. Nous avons apprécié et aimé la baie de Naples. Un hôtel bien situé, de bons transports en commun, une ville pas trop touristique, tout est réuni pour passer une semaine. Des tours opérateurs proposent des séjours presque similaires en séjournant à Sorrente. Nous ne regrettons pas notre choix. Nous espérons y retourner , il y a tellement à voir.

Hello,
We’re planning a short trip at the end of July to explore the legendary mountains and valleys of the Bernese Oberland: round trip from Nancy (Swiss highway vignette planned), 2 nights in a room with a small kitchen in Adelboden, then 2 nights in a hotel at the Gletscherblick in Grindelwald, both with half-board included. Could you share some tips on the best road routes to take, as well as some walking hikes (we’re not as fit as we used to be, so nothing longer than 2-3 hours)? Maybe also 1 or 2 cable car rides—I was thinking of Oeschinensee Lake above Kandersteg and the First gondola above Grindelwald for better panoramic views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau... all while keeping it doable with our schedule. We’ve ruled out the "premium" trip up to the Jungfraujoch for this time. I’m also guessing that paying to access Wengen or Mürren only makes sense if we’re staying there for a few days, right? - Is the road through the narrow valley of the White Lütschine toward Lauterbrunnen and beyond still worth it in terms of views and scenery?
On the way back, if we have a little time to explore Bern’s historic old town, what’s the best parking plan for a 1- or 2-hour stop?
Thanks in advance for your advice, fellow travelers familiar with this beautiful region! 😉

Bonjour, avec mon mari nous envisageons de partir en Islande mi octobre 2026.
Auriez-vous un conseil sur les lieux à privilégier pour un premier voyage sur cette destination ? Merci
Voyage fabuleux en Mai 2026 : paysages fantastiques, ambiance si différente de nos autres périples , merveilleux souvenirs, mais….
- la découverte de la population : très peu d’Islandais « native »,
et, une discrétion exceptionnelle des services de police qui ont brillé par leur absence dans le véhicule blanc arrêté au bord de la route et qui nous a flashés à la mi-Mai … A ce jour , seule notre requête auprès du loueur de véhicule nous permet d’ être au courant d’un message « speeding ticket » .Nous ne connaissons toujours pas, plus d’un mois après , « la gravité « de l’infraction, ni le montant de l’amende qui nous sera « infligée »
Voilà, voilà, un retour d’expérience administrative islandaise…

Hi there,
I’ve found some great deals on flights to two destinations: Menorca in the Balearic Islands and Alghero in Sardinia.
The flights would take us from Bordeaux to Menorca on the evening of 9/07 and return to Bordeaux in the evening on 13/07. Or to Alghero very early on 10/07 (departure at 6 AM) and return in the mid-afternoon on 13/07. We love beautiful landscapes, the sea, snorkeling, walks (hiking), and the charm of villages. We want to spend some quality time as a couple without our kids and mix discovery with relaxation.
I can’t make up my mind. The transport costs are roughly the same when you factor in parking for Sardinia since the early departure means no public transport from home.
We’ve never been to Menorca, Sardinia, or Italy at all. I’ve been to Majorca, though. Menorca would be 4 nights and 4 days, while Alghero would be 3 nights and 2.5 days. Also, what itinerary would you recommend for Alghero and Menorca? Where to stay?
Thank you so much for your insightful traveler tips.
Have a great day, community!

Hi,
I’ll be in Barcelona at the end of October.
I can choose to be there over the weekend or during the week. Probably 4 nights.
Is there a big difference in terms of crowds in the city and in the museums?
Little or no difference would simplify my itinerary on the way.
Thanks

Hi there,
I’ll be in Rome from April 1st to 13th, 2026—it’s coming up fast!
I’ve been searching online for tickets to visit the Borghese Gallery, but either there’s no availability or the tickets offered are ridiculously expensive.
Could someone guide me to a website where I can book 2 skip-the-line tickets (I’ve heard you have to reserve in advance online)?
Thanks in advance for the info!

Hi everyone,
I rented a car through Klaus Wagen, picking it up in downtown Porto and returning it in downtown Lisbon.
After paying, I read some pretty negative reviews about them.
So, can anyone reassure me with positive experiences they’ve had with them?

Hello, VoyageForum friends, and happy holidays!
I’m planning a trip with my 19-year-old grandson to Milan for Easter Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in 2025.
I’d love your insights on what we can visit in Milan that would interest both my grandson and me (I’m 75). Of course, I’m thinking of the must-sees, but not just those—cozy little restaurants, trendy neighborhoods, and anything else you’d recommend. I’m also looking for a comfortable hotel in the city center that isn’t too expensive!
I’m sure the VoyageForum community will help me uncover some hidden gems! Looking forward to your replies.

Hi there,
I’m heading to Setúbal at the end of June with my granddaughter, and I can’t seem to find clear info on the best way to get from Lisbon Airport to Setúbal. It looks like there’s a train or bus, but I can’t find the exact names of the bus (or train) companies or the precise departure points. Thanks if anyone can help me out! 😉 Just to clarify, I’m on a tight budget and have already ruled out taxis or similar options.

Hi there,
I visited the Faroe Islands in late March 2026 for about ten days. I was invited by a friend who lives near Tórshavn, so I don’t have any info on tourist accommodations or car rentals. Still, I’d like to share a few thoughts about my trip:
- Before leaving, I consulted travel guides and blogs. I was surprised by how repetitive and unoriginal the featured sites were. This leads hurried travelers to follow the same overcrowded routes, which can annoy locals. I found that all Faroese villages were interesting—they reflect the country’s identity, even without the iconic grass-roofed houses. Those are indeed harmonious and beautiful, but they feel like an exotic cliché. For activities, I loved the lively ports that keep the country running.
- I was annoyed by the paid trails in tourist spots. Locals explained that these paths cross private land, and owners are responsible for maintenance and safety. There are plenty of free trails, too—signs at the start detail their features. While not alarmist, the extreme and unpredictable weather is a key factor to consider before setting out.
- The wind’s strength really impressed me. The architecture, with doors and windows opening outward to prevent gusts from blowing roofs off, speaks to the harsh climate. Some days, relentless rain and squalls made going outside unappealing. I realized that in this country, it’s best to plan for flexible indoor days.
- Distances are relatively short. I was happy to be based near Tórshavn because it was easy to explore one or more places in a day. The roads are in great condition. In late March, diesel was 2 €. Tunnel tolls can add up (~26 € per crossing), making a fixed base less practical than I’d thought.
- Everyone agrees: the landscapes are breathtaking. Nature feels untamed here—except for the short grass, thanks to all the woolly sheep.
- The flight from Paris to the Faroe Islands (and back) was long in March—11 hours with three legs: Paris-Amsterdam, Amsterdam-Copenhagen, Copenhagen-Vágar. In bad weather, Vágar Airport can close, causing delays. During tourist season, Atlantic Airways offers a direct Paris-Faroe Islands flight, which is more comfortable and cheaper.
- I found a book recommendation in a guide that fascinated me after my trip: *Les collectionneurs d'images* by Joanes Nielsen. Through its sometimes caricatured characters, it offers a glimpse into Faroese mentalities from the 1950s to 1970s—attitudes that likely persist today.
In conclusion, I’ve traveled a lot and I’m tired of destinations that all start to look the same. The Faroe Islands were a delight—a country stunning in its landscape, climate, and culture, where tourism has barely altered its authenticity.
Hi there,

Thanks for your help.

Hi there, 🙂
Summer 2027 is going to be Norwegian for us! We’re heading to the Lofoten Islands first, then Senja, near Tromsø, and finally the North Cape. We’ll likely start from northern Finland (flight tickets and car rentals are more affordable there).
I’d like to book accommodations early to have more options. Good value-for-money places go fast in these pricey Nordic destinations...
But where should we book?
We’re planning to stay around ten nights in the Lofoten Islands.
What’s the best approach?
One place in the central part and explore from there?
One place in the south and another in the center?
Or one in the south, one in the center, and one in the north (3-4-3 nights)?
Our main goal is hiking.
Thanks for your tips!😉

Hello,
We’re heading to Bavaria from May 13 to 23, with a side trip to Austria.
Here’s our itinerary:
Day 1: Brussels-Munich
Day 2: Munich
Day 3: Munich and departure for Salzburg
We’ll be staying three nights in Salzburg.
Then we’ll head to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where we’ll stay for five nights.
Visiting Munich and Salzburg isn’t too tricky.
Once in Garmisch, we’re planning a day in Innsbruck, a day for Neuschwanstein Castle, and the rest is still up in the air.
What’s really got me stumped is that we’d love to see Königssee Lake—everyone says it’s a must-see.
We’d also like to visit the Eagle’s Nest (Kehlsteinhaus), where the landscapes are supposedly stunning.
This would either be a round trip while we’re in Salzburg or on the way between Salzburg and Garmisch, but I’m guessing it’s impossible to do the drive from Salzburg to Garmisch, the Eagle’s Nest, *and* Königssee Lake all in one day.
Plus, the Alpine route between Salzburg and Garmisch seems prettier than the highway.
But honestly, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with the planning.
We should’ve added a stop between Salzburg and Garmisch, but the hotels are already booked.
Thanks for any advice on the itinerary and visits!
Another question: How far in advance should we book Neuschwanstein, Königssee, and the Eagle’s Nest in May?
Thanks so much in advance for your tips and ideas!
hi
I’ll be in Copenhagen this coming May for a few days.
Do you have any recommendations for things to visit?
If I had to pick one castle to visit, which one would it be?
I’m torn between: Rosenborg Castle, Amalienborg Palace, or Frederiksborg and Charlottenborg Palaces
Any suggestions?
Thanks

hi
I’m wondering if anyone can give me some info on how to get from Mallorca to Menorca.
Since flights are cheaper to Mallorca, I’d like to go that way.
Thanks so much for your help!
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip to Finland and Norway this summer, starting in Oulu to explore Lapland, heading up to the North Cape, and then making our way down to Bergen.
This route means renting a car in Finland and dropping it off in Norway. My initial searches are showing rental rates that are... astronomical—about three times the price compared to returning it at the starting point.
I’m guessing I’m not the only one wanting to visit both countries. Are there any great tips to drastically reduce the cost of renting a car?

Hi there, we’re a couple of bikers planning a trip to Majorca in June 2026, and I’d love to organize a half-day or full-day boat or catamaran outing. Which coast do you think is the nicest for this, and do you have any suggestions or personal experiences to share? Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
We’ll be staying in London for 3 nights in September.
Could you recommend a hotel near a tube station, at a good price, with fairly spacious rooms?
Thanks! 🌸

Hi there,
Does anyone know if there are any works in progress at Torcello, and if so, what type of works and how long they’re expected to last?
Thanks in advance
Hi everyone,
I’m sharing my draft itinerary with you because I just booked our flight tickets, and I feel like it’s quite late in the season. So, I’d like to be sure about my stops before reserving the hotels. I’ll be traveling alone with my two adult children. We want to prioritize outdoor walks, avoid too many indoor visits (both for budget and preference), and not spend too much time on the road.
D1: Arrival at 9 AM in Malaga, day in Malaga and overnight stay D2: Head straight to Nerja (1-hour drive) and spend the night there D3: Head straight to Granada (1.5-hour drive), spend the day and night there D4: Granada. Visit the Alhambra (Nasrid Palaces tour at 5 PM) and spend the night D5: Head to Ronda (2.5-hour drive) and spend the night D6: White Villages and overnight in Ronda D7: Head straight to the Costa del Sol (e.g., Estepona), spend the day and night there D8: Return to Malaga to catch our flight
There you go! This itinerary takes into account that we’d like to do a circuit starting from Seville in a few years. That said, it’d be a shame to miss something doable from Malaga.
Questions: Since the Alhambra visit is only at 5 PM, and we’d already have the day to explore Granada, would arriving the day before be a mistake? Or should we skip this day and dedicate it elsewhere (Costa del Sol? Head toward Tabernas?)? The old town appeals to me, but maybe the Sacromonte neighborhood isn’t essential... Same question for Ronda: should we dedicate a full day to it, or combine Ronda and the White Villages in one day? Note that we love wandering around villages outside, so that might answer my question! :)
Final question: Is it better to rent the car at Malaga Airport or in the city? If we rent at the airport, we’d need a hotel with parking, which doesn’t seem easy. Or stay outside the city and park for free near the center if possible? I’ve read comments about taking a taxi to Malaga and then picking up the rental car at the airport the next morning. The taxi would really need to be affordable...
Thanks so much for your feedback and suggestions for visits during this little circuit. Have a great day, everyone! Christine

Hello,
we’re a couple planning a 2-week road trip this August, with a must-stop (about 3 days on Skye). Any route suggestions? Hotel recommendations? Photo spots?
Hello,
My husband and I are planning a trip to Ireland in September 2026. We’ll be flying from Montreal to London, where we’ll spend three nights. After that, we’ll head to Dublin for a few days and take trains to visit the main attractions. Our ideal plan would be to choose hotels near train stations and take tours to the interesting spots. Would 8 days in Ireland be enough for this kind of trip?

Hi there,
We’re a group of 4 heading out at the end of June for 11 days. I’m just starting my research. We’ll be renting a regular car, not a 4x4. I’m not finding a ton of info on the North. Would love your take on all those kilometers—is there a route that lets us cut out a section? Thanks

Hi there,
Can you share your experiences about Bilbao with us? We're planning to go during the last week of April, with our main goal being to visit the Guggenheim Museum. Despite our research, we're not sure if a week is too long or what there really is to see and do in Bilbao. Should we rent a car to explore the surrounding areas? For San Sebastián, it seems there are pretty convenient buses. Would a day trip there and back be doable?
Any advice would be welcome regarding the itinerary, local transportation, hotels, and how long to stay.
Thanks in advance!
