Naples City Guide

overall city rating 68%

Naples is like an amalgamation of various Italian cities - it has the attitude of Milan, the sights of Rome, the passion of Venice and the culinary delights of Florence. It is noisy and slightly intimidating, but it is equally intriguing and extremely engaging. Plus it boasts one of the most spectacular settings in Italy, overlooking the Bay of Naples. Many who stop here only do so for a number of hours before going further south to Capri or Sorrento, as Naples is the gateway to both destinations. But if you are travelling to Naples, spend a day or two here before shooting off. You won't regret it.

    Naples is a dirty and busy city. It has it\'s beautiful spots, but it\'s somewhat a spiderweb of streets and construction. It\'s nowhere near as charming as Florence, Venice, or Rome, and I would reccommend any of these before Napoli. However, it does have its gems (the Bay… more
