So many visitors ask us to furnish them with an itinerary for seeing the principal objects in Naples and its neighbourhood in a few days, that we present the following, which we have often executed, and so know that it is practical.

After lunch, take a cab to the station, in time for the 2 o'clock express for Pompeii, with a return ticket. After seeing the ruined city, return to Naples by the evening train. Book places for the ascent of Vesuvius for the morrow at Cook's Office, Piazza dei Martiri.
