Volcanic and authentic, Naples is the birthplace of pizza and gateway to Pompeii, Capri and the Amalfi Coast.
Naples is a sensory journey: the scent of pizza from wood-fired ovens, the voices in the alleys, laundry hanging between buildings, the deep blue gulf with Vesuvius in the background. It is chaotic, generous and absolutely irresistible. From here, day trips to Pompeii, Herculaneum, Capri, Ischia and the Amalfi Coast depart.
Spring and autumn are perfect. Summer is ideal for Capri and coast excursions.
Neapolitan pizza is a UNESCO heritage: margherita and marinara from Sorbillo, Da Michele or Starita. Then sfogliatella riccia, babร , ragรน, cuoppo fritto (street food) and Italy's best espresso coffee.
Spaccanapoli and the Spanish Quarters for the popular soul. The Lungomare and Posillipo for romantic walks. Vomero for shopping and Castel Sant'Elmo. The Historic Centre for churches and art. The Port for island departures.
Capodichino Airport (NAP) is 7 km from the centre, connected by Alibus in 20 minutes.
