dirty, caotic
In a nutshell
Gets an undo bad rap, plenty to see and do.
leics Says: I hadn't planned to include this on my day of exploration but i had a little time, and I saw a sign and.........it was an experience I am very, very glad I did not miss!The Capella Sansevero was first constructed as the chapel of the Di Sangro family in 1590. In 1613, a...
Explore underneath San Lorenzo Maggiore
leics Says: At the end of Via San Gregorio Armeno (which leads off Via dei Tribunali) you will find the Basilica of San Lorenzo Maggiore.The church itself is worth a look, dating from the 13th and 14th century although with a much later facade.But it is the excavations underneath the...

Gambrinus: Gambrinus and why everyone talks about it
blusky Says: It's symbol of elegance and drinking coffee in Naples. Many famous people from past and present took their coffee there and many will do. You can go there for the afternoon tea, try cakes, mignon. You can grab an aperitivo before luch or dinner.You just really need to go...
Umberto: Naepolitans eat there from 1916
blusky Says: Typical place to taste some of the best things of Naepolitan cuisine. If you come for Sunday lunch you'll find pasta dishes made in a way that Naepolitans do it in theri own homes.You can also find pizza, eventhough is more expensive than in traditional pizzerias that you...
Near docks: Nightlife near the docks!
travelnut71 Says: There are many restaurant and bars, some nightclubs too along the waterfront at night. It is beautiful! Some places charge entrance fee, even if it looks like a restaurant, ask before. Many restaurants here charge a cover charge. Enjoy, it is beautiful to have dinner...
merih Says: Hyppokampos : I have worked here as General Manager for a year , I think that it is a very kool place to hang out on a friday to have dinner and dance to a very good music. The best of all is the STAFF .. super !
leics Says: From Sorrento, Pompeii and other points on the coast south of Naples you will take the Circumvesuviana train into the city. You will arrive at Napol Garibaldi station, which adjoins Napoli Centrale station. From there you enter the city via Poazza Garibaldi (at present...

sargentjeff Says: Gay Odin Chocolate shop is located on the famous Via Toledo downtown. Via Toledo is the the most popular shopping area in the city. Gay Odin has been around since 1894, and is even highly recommended by some travel guides. ChocolatesAlbanesi, Trifoglio, Scorzette,...
Check via Duomo: Wedding gowns
blusky Says: There are several wedding gowns shops in via Duomo and I don't know the names of all of it to be honest. I know couple of brands and on the internet I found some shops, so you can check it out, visiting the links mentioned below.Not all the shops have web pages available at...
Do *not* believe the horror stories.
leics Says: I know from answering questions on the forums that Naples has a bad reputation. In my opinion, this is unwarranted.If, like me, you are visiting for the day there is nothing more about which to be concerned than when visiting any large European city. Take normal city common...
Piazza Garibaldi is seedy at night, be careful!
travelnut71 Says: There is a lot of pickpocketing here and people running off with your bags. This place is a melting pot for everyone who has business intentions, like selling you fake purses and watches, to some who just want to run off with your own. If you are careful and keep steer and...
Naples tourist trap - traghetto to Capri and taxi
mammola3000 Says: The traghetto to Capri is a real tourist trap- the tour-retour ticket is valid only at the same day.The taxis are extreme expensive- 10-15 minutes = 25-30 Euros, most of the taxi drivers are non tourist-friendly. There are a lot of websites with useful tips, but I prefer...
leics Says: This statue of an old man in the typical reclining Roman-dining position is thought to date from the time of Nero.It is supposed to be a representation of the river Nile, which is why the tiny square in which it is set is called the Largo del Corpo del Nilo and a nearby...
leics Says: Many buildings in central historical Naples are in very poor condition. It has not been a rich city for many, many centuries.... and that shows.But, somehow, the peeling plasterwork, the grime and the decay only add to the experience and the unique atmosphere...for me, as a...
leics Says: It's very easy indeed to walk past this place without paying any attention. I did so, even though I'd intended to seek it out.The Cappella dei Pontano looks rather like Roman temple from the outside, although (to be honest) not at very imposing one. It is actually a funeral...
leics Says: This is *the* place to buy your Christmas crib (presepi). The whole street is lined with workshops which create the cribs throughout the year.It's one of Naple's most picturesque streets anyway and, annoyingly, was more-or-less completed blocked when I visited: a decrepit,...
leics Says: You will find street shrines all over Italy but, for some reason, I was very taken by those in central historical Naples.Perhaps it was their place in the narrow Medieval streets.....I suspect they have been there for centuries.Perhaps it was their presence as a sign of hope...
leics Says: There is lots of graffiti in Italy. It does not always carry the connotations of gang warfare or aggression that I believe it can carry in non-European countries.In the UK we even have a graffiti-artist-made-good: Banksy.In Naples I saw some truly excellent graffiti....
blusky Says: Walking down the lungomare you'll see many people sunbathing and swimming, finding thei own place on the stones of the breakwater. There are also many steet vendors where you can buy some granita or ice cream.

Napoli at first seems dirty and full of chaos. There is actually much to be learned about really living life in Naples. The pizza is, by far, the best in the world and you must have a caprese salad......
