Whether you opt for a freshly cooked pizza, a taste of something deep fried from a street food stall, or a delicious gelato, the food in Naples will not disappoint. The Neapolitans are particularly good at using fresh produce, check out battered, fried courgette flowers or stuffed bell peppers.
View Vesuvius
If you’re only in town for a short amount of time, you won’t have enough time to catch a bus to the top of the famous Mount Vesuvius. However, if you head to the high points of Naples, such as the Parco Vigilano, you will get stunning panoramas of the slumbering volcano and the Bay of Naples.
