Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte
MuseumNaplesAbout 2.5 hours
A Bourbon palace on a hill above the city holding one of Italy's best painting collections — Caravaggio's Flagellation, Titian, Masaccio, Bruegel — in rooms that are frequently almost empty. The park around it is free and full of Neapolitan families at the weekend. Half a day including the climb up.
