Campania

New Year’s Eve with lemons and

fireworks in Napoli

4 days

from € 524

For several years now, Napoli has been a top destination for

the end of the year, thanks to the breathtaking landscapes

of Campania, the lively journey through Spaccanapoli, the

heart of the Neapolitan city, and San Gregorio Armeno with its

nativity workshops, the treasures of Napoli. When we think of

Napoli, we can’t help but thinking of Sorrento. They are the two

most important touristic point of the region, partly because of

the magnificent colours of the coast and Napoli, as masterfully

depicted by the great artist Luca Giordano. What better way to

welcome the new year?

Tour includes:

3 nights with breakfast at the 4 hotel in Napoli

New Year’s Eve party in a restaurant with drinks and sparkling

wine including music and entertainment
