What to pack for a long weekend in Naples

Packing for a weekend in Naples calls for a mix of clothes and styles. It’s a city, but it’s close to the sea and the chances are you’ll take day trips to beaches in Capri. But you may also catch the train to Pompeii where you’ll need comfy clothes that you can walk in for hours.

The weather in Napoli can also change a lot per month. We visited in May and were lucky to have two days of glorious sunshine, followed by one cooler, grey day that rained in the morning. So I was glad to have come prepared with my packing…

This is what I packed for three days in Naples in May.
