Italy Castel Sant'Elmo, Naples
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.
