If you’re a travel buff then you’re not going to want to miss this hidden gem. The National Railway Museum of Pietrarsa is housed in the old Bourbon workshops that were founded in 1840 at the command of Ferdinand II. You’ll be able to uncover the history of railways in Italy from the mid-19th century to today’s high-speed trains. There are lots of locomotives on display and much of the museum is covered, making it perfect if you’re in the area on a rainy day. It lies just to the side of the Naples-Portici railway line – Italy’s first railway line – and is very close to Naples itself.

The National Railway Museum of Pietrarsa is a railway museum. In this place where the history of Italian railways was born. On 3 October 1839, the first Italian railway was inaugurated here in Napoli (Portici), during the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Wonderful landscapes and history, combined together in this interesting place.
