Salerno - Paestum accommodation from AU$115

Things to Do in Salerno

Salerno was a huge centre for learning, arts and culture in the Middle Ages, so it's no surprise that it's home to many museums and cultural landmarks. There are several medieval palaces to explore, as well as some impressive churches, including the Cathedral, which houses not only the tomb of Matthew, one of the 12 Apostles of Christ, but a lifelike wax effigy of Pope Gregory VII (yikes!). History buffs will want hotels in Salerno near the old town centre, whose charm has been well-preserved over the years. Lovers of antiquities will also be pleased to hear that Salerno accommodation is only around 40 km from the spectacular site of Pompeii—why not take a day trip out to the fabled Roman resort town?
