New Year’s Eve with lemons and
fireworks in Napoli
4 days
from € 524

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?

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