When they say "See Naples and die," they mean its beauty is so breathtaking it can stop your heart (not that you shouldn't still watch for pickpockets)
Naples is a distillation of Italy's glorious chaos, a city where the sun seems brighter, the food tastier, the traffic crazier, the baroque churches more elaborate, and the people more boisterously friendly.
Naples is also a major port, which entails a certain degree of seediness (the central rail station and bus-clogged Piazza Garibaldi out front constitute Italy's epicenter of pickpocketing) and some dicey neighborhoods (the dingy, narrow alleys of the Quartiere degli Spagnoli overflow with colorful street life by day, but are best to avoid after dark).
However, this also means prices are generally lower than in other Italian cities, especially on the fantastic seafood. Spaghetti with clams is a local classic, but don't ignore Naples' single greatest contribution to world cuisine: pizza.
Naples sights in brief
- The Archaeology Museum, with amazing Roman statues and all the best bits of Pompeii that could be carried away
- The best pizza on the planet, period
- The Museo Capodimonte, the most important collection of Old Masters paintings in Southern Italy
- The creepy Catacombs of San Gennaro
- The amazingly lifelike baroque sculptures in the Cappella Sansevero
That's time enough to hit the major sights—the stupendous Archaeology Museum with its riches from Pompeii, the dramatically moody canvases by Caravaggio and his followers in the Capodimonte Galleries, the cloisters of medieval Santa Chiara and the fancifully baroque Sansevero chapel.
If it's the season and you can get tickets, try attending an opera at the renowned Teatro San Carlo.
Then scurry along to some of the outstanding (and notably calmer) destinations around Naples Bay.
Sights near Naples
Looming over Naples to the southeast, the still-active volcano of Vesuvius famously blew its top in A.D. 79, blanketing the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum in ash and lava. Now excavated, these two ancient Roman ghost towns offer an amazing glimpse into daily life during the empire just 15 to 30 minutes from downtown Naples by commuter train.
Just beyond Pompeii lies the resort of Sorrento, gateway to the amazing Amalfi Drive, a thrill ride of a road strung along sea cliffs between the fishing towns of the Amalfi Coast: Positano, Amalfi, Ravello, Vietri sul Mare, and, farther south, the Greek temples of Paestum.
Ferries from both Naples and Sorrento cross the bay to the famed jet-set holiday island of Capri.
