Travel ideas
Vico Equense: introduction
Situated to the North of the Sorrentine Peninsula, at the feet of Monte Faito, Vico Equense enjoys a fabulous position overlooking the Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius, and in the vicinity of the Lattari Mountains, across which one finds numerous farmhouses immersed in the lush countryside.
Inhabited since ancient times, traces of the constructions edified by the Etruscans, Sannites, Osci and particularly those of the Romans are still visible across the territory. The town's economy is based predominantly on tourism, agriculture and commerce. Vico Equense is home to numerous tourist facilities of recent construction as well as industries producing olive oil, dairy products and walnuts.
Vico Equense is known for its sulphurous arsenical water which have given rise to the Scrajo thermal baths, a well equipped spa center. For those interested in local history and culture, Vico Equense has a number of sites which are well worth visiting such as the Castle, the Cathedral of Vico Equense and the Campania Mineralogical Museum.
