About this experience

Journey inland to Benevento, a city steeped in Roman and medieval history. Admire the well-preserved Arch of Trajan, visit the ancient Roman theatre, and discover the city's unique cultural heritage. This trip offers a deeper dive into Campania's less-explored historical gems. Check the details for your date before you plan your day.

What to expect

A day trip to Benevento typically brings visitors into contact with layers of history far removed from the busier coastal hubs. Travelers often start by exploring the remarkably preserved Arch of Trajan, one of the finest Roman monuments in southern Italy, before wandering through quiet medieval quarters.

Walking tours usually weave through narrow streets lined with ancient stone churches and remnants of Roman theaters. Local guides often share stories about the Lombard duchy and the city's unique cultural heritage that developed inland.

Most visitors find time to sit in a quiet piazza for a coffee and sample local nougat, known as torrone. The pace here allows for a relaxed exploration of archaeological sites without the heavy crowds found in larger tourist cities.

Useful information

  • Wear supportive walking shoes for uneven stone streets and ancient ruins.
  • Bring a refillable water bottle, as walking routes can expose visitors to the sun.
  • Spring and autumn offer the most comfortable temperatures for walking outdoors.
  • Benevento is easily reached by regional train or bus services from central Naples.

Know before you go

  • Check the exact start time and meeting point on the booking page before arrival.
