Italy Castel Sant'Elmo, Naples

Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

Not many tourists are aware of Castel Sant'Elmo, perched on a hilltop in Naples and offering spectacular vistas of the city and Mt Vesuvius in the distance. The Amalfi peninsula can even be seen on a clear day.

Photography Tips

A polarising filter could be handy if photographing on sunny days. Walk around and enjoy the views.

Travel Information

I took the Montesanto Funicular railway followed by a short walk to the castle. Take a map because you cannot see the castle until you are next to it and you have to make a few turns to reach it.
