Car Hire Naples Tangenzial - Mini guide to Naples Tangenzial

”Naples is a paradise,” recounted the German author Goethe in the 18th century of his travels in Italy’s second largest city. More than two centuries later, that statement rings true for residents and visitors to this coastal city. A wide range of accommodation are available in Naples, however areas such as Tangenziale are popular with visitors exploring the delights of southern Italy.

Tangenziale, located northwest of Naples, is well-equipped for those visiting the area. A range of hotels, restaurants, bars, cafes and shopping are available for those staying in this suburb. While buses and trains are available in southern Italy, many travellers find them to be costly and restrictive. Those who enjoy travelling independently are strongly encouraged to use a car hire service. In Tangenziale, this is available from: Tangenziale di Napoli km 0.700, Napoli, 80144.

This suburb is just fifteen minutes by car from downtown Naples. The city is as famous for its historic sites and Neopolitan cuisine. There is an extensive, large system of catacombs and tunnels, accessed in the historic area of the city, which beg to be explored.

Just twenty minutes drive from Tangenziale is the archaeological area of Cuma. This town was the site of the first Greek settlement in Italy. The site includes the Grotto of Sibilla and its cave. The Antro della Sibilla is open to the public. This long passage, cut into the earth by the ancient Greeks, features openings for natural light, making it particularly breathtaking on a sunny day.

Vesuvius National Park, home to Mount Vesuvius, is less than 30 minutes away. The park offers visitors safe exploration of the world’s best known active volcano. A further twenty minutes south along the coast by car brings visitors to the picturesque fishing harbour of Sorrento and the sun drenched Amalfi coast.
