Laundry strung between balconies, zipping scooters and Mount Vesuvius rising in the distance… Welcome to Naples! It’s multi-layered and full volume and you’ll either love or hate the grit, the grime and the contrasts. But, even if you have to look a little harder for them, the rewards are there, from the Duomo and the relics of San Gennaro, to an archaeological museum with treasures from Pompeii, Teatro San Carlo, and the Caravaggios that hang in shadowy churches. Neapolitans are also obsessed with food, and we don’t just mean tri-coloured ice cream and pizza (although the latter is still the finest you’ll ever eat). Start the day with a coffee and then the choice is yours: friarielli, cuoppo and Frittatina di Pasta from the market, followed by a long-simmered ragu and Pasta alla Genovese, all topped off by a sugar-dusted sfogliatella.
Naples is a feast for the senses...including your tastebuds. In between meanders through the city, temptation is your constant companion with culinary delights like Neapolitan pizza and sfogliatella pastries.
Trade the bustle of the city for a day trip to the Roman town of Herculaneum. Smaller, less crowded, and better preserved than its famous neighbour, Pompeii, Herculaneum offers an intriguing insight into the life of the ancient Romans.
Naples' gritty, chaotic nature can be surprising to visitors and that includes the traffic. Locals have their own driving style, which might seem erratic and overwhelming, so it's best to stay aware of your surroundings when navigating the city streets.
