Naples is a lively city in southern Italy, set on the Bay of Naples with Mount Vesuvius rising across the water. Its historic center is a maze of narrow streets, bustling piazzas, churches, and colorful buildings, where everyday life unfolds alongside centuries-old landmarks. Spaccanapoli cuts through the heart of the old town, passing shops, cafés, pizzerias, and historic sites.

The city is widely associated with pizza, and traditional Neapolitan pizza is an essential part of the local food culture. Street food, seafood, espresso, and pastries such as sfogliatella are also deeply rooted in the city’s culinary traditions. Visitors can explore the archaeological treasures of the National Archaeological Museum, admire the views from Castel Sant’Elmo, or wander through the elegant Galleria Umberto I. Naples is also an ideal base for discovering Pompeii, Mount Vesuvius, the islands of Capri and Ischia, and the dramatic coastline of the Amalfi Coast.
