With a population of just over one million people, Naples is Italy’s third largest city. Situated in the southern half of the country, this is the capital of Campania and the Naples Province. Due to its location on the Bay of Naples, which is overlooked by Mount Vesuvius, it is a great city to visit.

    visit napoli!

    Great city with so much to do! Apparently has the best pickpockets in the world according to a friend, but that's irrelevant next to the energy and historical might that Napoli has. Also, best pizza I've ever had in my life- finally something that beats out my italian style pizzeria from back home in NY! Easy to get to other places in the South, but also worth visiting regardless. Also, love how much more economico things are here!

    Insider Tip:Try not to be here on a Sunday- most of the things we wanted to do were closed (Castel Dell'Ovo, Chiostro Santa Chiara), and lunch is hard to find if you plan poorly and search for pizza around 3pm

    Naples is cool

    I really enjoyed my stay in Naples. Although the city could be cleaner, it is absolutely worth seeing it. You really get the chance to get to know the Italian way of life. I' ll come back.

    Insider Tip:Have a pizza in the Pizzeria AI 22, go up to the Vomero at night and enjoy the view over Naples at day and night.

    Loving Naples

    Naples was easily my favorite city in Italy, and one of the most interesting. At first glance it's a bit overwhelming - dirty, narrow streets full of crazed mopeds and emphatic Italians, but after a second look it becomes much more charming. Any of the locals are all to happy to give directions to wayward travelers, and even though the streets are confusing it's impossible to stay lost for very long. Lots of historical sites, castles, coastline, pizza stops and markets that are worth a visit.

    Insider Tip:Tribunali is fantastic to explore, the coast is beautiful to walk along, and head the hills for a panorama of the city. Pompeii is a quick trip away and definitely worth the venture. Have the pizza, drink the wine, but visit the fish market or any of the markets and find a kitchen.

    Delicious but not that safe

    Pizza origins here is really good! It's cheap but with lots of ingredients. Plaza and church are also charming. But the places around the central station are not that safe. There might be someone following you once you get out of the station.

    Insider Tip:Try to lock most of your precious things in the hostel and take care of your bags.

Italy: Itinerary

Forgotten by too many travellers when visiting Italy as it is more commonly known for its fashion and rather than its culture, Milan is somewhere you should stick on your itinerary. Granted, it can be slightly more brazen than other Italian cities, but it also has some breathtaking architecture and intriguing museums.
