Breakfast by the Water

As a coastal city, Naples has plenty of opportunities to access the water. Head down to the luxurious marina, where you will find lots of cafes, bars, and restaurants. Pick up a pastry and an espresso and breakfast Italian style by the azure sea.

Discover the Architecture

Naples is famous for its ancient buildings, many of which date back to medieval times. Take some time to wander the streets and experience the feel of this city, with its twisting lanes and winding passageways.

Taste the Food

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.
