If you are from Mumbai you would love Naples. Though the walled city may not be cleanest in Italy, the place is buzzing with activity and the people are very warm and friendly. And the food is the best we had in Italy.
Naples Pocket Guide
Naples is like an amalgamation of various Italian cities - it has the attitude of Milan, the sights of Rome, the passion of Venice and the culinary delights of Florence. It is noisy and slightly intimidating, but it is equally intriguing and extremely engaging. Plus it boasts one of the most spectacular settings in Italy, overlooking the Bay of Naples. Many who stop here only do so for a number of hours before going further south to Capri or Sorrento, as Naples is the gateway to both destinations. But if you are travelling to Naples, spend a day or two here before shooting off. You won't regret it.

Naples is dirty
I thought that Naples was a bit grosse. There were a few nice buildings/fountains to see but this could all be done in half a day. Also the guys there are disgusting - whistling/grabbing their crotch and saying god knows what in Italian. YUK!

Ugly, Ugly City
I have traveled all over the world and can think of few cities as filthy as Naples even in third world countries, nevermind in somewhere like Italy. The trash just piles up in the streets and walking anywhere after sundown, even in groups feels incredibly unsafe. Also, the place is a maze, even with a map so be careful, all the streets are smaller than they look on paper.
Insider Tip:If you have to go to Naples, check out the Archelological museum, ESPECIALLY the "Secret Room" where all the naughty art from Ancient Rome is kept. Some of it is laugh-out-loud shocking though, so probably not the best for the kiddies unless you feel like fielding some VERY awkward questions. Apparently in busy times you have to get a (free) timed ticket to get into the room, but we had no problems.

Vedi Napoli i puo morrire
A charming city with nice people and amazing pizza. They have this trash problem but all cities have your specific problem.
Insider Tip:Eat the margherita pizza because they were invented in Naples and are prepare with Naples tomato.

A good place to experience culture!
People there are different people you see in north Italy. They are too warm and even crazy! Sometimes they really scare me. But the trip is really exciting! The pizza is big, delicious and cheap! The streets are not so clean, and there are doodles everywhere. However, the whole city is interesting and exciting!
