Battipaglia - Buses and Buses - Transportation - Attractions.

Battipaglia is a small town located on the eastern coast of Italy. It lies in Campania. When planning a trip to Italy, Battipaglia is not an obvious choice, given that Naples is located in the nearby area. But it is the proximity to Naples that is one of the biggest pluses of this town of fifty thousand people.

It takes less than an hour to travel to Naples from Battipaglia by car, and we can save quite a bit on accommodations because, given the price of lodging in the capital of Campania, it may be a better choice to just look for lodging outside of this metropolis.

Battipaglia is therefore, in a way, a base for exploring Naples and all the attractions located in the close vicinity of Naples. And there are so many of these that even a week's vacation would be lacking. But one by one.

What to visit in and around Naples?

Battipaglia lies on the borders of the breathtaking Parco regionale Monti Picentini, offering many hiking trails, during which you will marvel at the views and proximity to nature. A trip to Battipaglia should therefore be of interest to trekking enthusiasts.

If, on the other hand, hiking is not on your mind, take a trip north towards Naples, where you will end up in... Pompeii! One of the biggest attractions is the House of Vettius, which gathers multicolored frescoes that survived the eruption of Vesuvius. Of course, heading even further north you will hit the National Park created around the volcano. Vesuvius rises more than one thousand two hundred meters above sea level, so reaching the summit will not be as difficult as at least climbing Etna.

Even before reaching Naples you can stop in the village of Torre del Greco. The Archaeological Park of Herculaneum is located within the town. This is actually one of the ancient cities destroyed by the nearby merciless Vesuvius.

Battipaglia as a base for exploring Naples

Of course, going to Battipaglia it is impossible not to visit the capital of Campania - Naples. And because of the history of this city, it is worth devoting at least a weekend to it. Among the many sights we'll mention a few, such as the Castel Nuovo, a medieval fortress with five towers, an art museum and a Renaissance triumphal arch, the Catacombs of San Gaudioso dating back to the 3rd century with early Christian paintings, and a system of tunnels, caves, cisterns and hideaways.

Fans of more active pursuits will also find something for themselves. Naples is home to Edenlandia, an amusement park with numerous merry-go-rounds and slides, go-karts, a mill wheel, and unique attractions for smaller children. It may not be as impressive as parks in other countries, but if you happen to be with smaller children and want to provide them with great memories as well, you may want to visit just this point on the long list of attractions in Naples.

How to get to and from Battipaglia? And why to.

The town of Battipaglia can be reached, for example, by Buses Sindbad. The bus stop or station where the buses stop Sindbad is located in the parking lot at Villa Comunale / Bar Catino. There is also a small park nearby where you will be able to wait, for example, for a bus to Naples, if you happen to decide to travel in the area by bus.

The train station is just as close, so you can also take a train and thus set off on your journey. We, on the other hand, recommend using buses, if only for the convenience you will experience if you decide to book your ticket to Italy on our website.
