Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens offers much more than a traditional zoo experience. Feed towering giraffes by hand, watch professional staff feed alligators, and learn fascinating facts during engaging keeper talks and wildlife shows. Don’t miss the chance to see rare animals like honey badgers—Naples Zoo is one of only four zoos in the country to showcase these fierce creatures. You’ll also enjoy a guided boat cruise through lush islands inhabited by playful monkeys and apes. Nestled in a historic botanical garden, this nationally accredited zoo is home to favorites like lions, tigers, and zebras, making it the perfect destination for a full day of family-friendly fun.

The archaeological site of Pupput is often empty of visitors - those arriving early in the mornings may find themselves one-on-one with the scant remains of a former settlement and some rather well-preserved - for the time being, at least - Byzantine mosaics.

Särö became a popular spa resort in the 19th century, when beautiful villas and bathing pavilions were built here. Many still remain today, stylishly renovated, with their traditional balconies for drinking punsch. Take a walk through the unique nature reserve and finish off with lunch or dinner at the inn.

Nestled in the peninsula between the Mekong and Nam Khan Rivers, Phou Si Mountain (at 100 metres) shows off exactly why it is rightfully referred to as the heart of this charming city. The jewel in the crown of the summit is surely the 24m gilded stupa called That Chomsi, built in 1804 and famous with sunset junkies that accept the alluring challenge of climbing the 355 steps to enjoy the view of the beautiful city lying below their feet.
