Many travelers use Naples as simply a launch pad to tour many interesting sites outside Naples like ancient Pompeii, the Island of Capri, and the Amalfi Coast. That’s fine but do not underestimate the pleasure the City of Naples, Italy offers.

One reason to visit Naples is for Neopolitan food specialties. Pizza, one of Italy’ s famous foods originated in Naples and and pizza is taken very seriously here. All seafood is abundant and very good in Naples. Of particular note is a dish called Spaghetti alla Vongale or little clams which is so good you may find you order every day during your visit. Also Espresso was invented in Naples so here is the place to get your buzz on.

Join in on the daily Passeggiata or stroll which Neopolitans love and is firmly part of  their culture. Stores close for midday pausa and on weekends everyone walks toward  the Gulf of Naples, along side the Villa Communale park. With your STREETWISE® Naples street map in hand you can participate in this traditional stroll and not get lost in the process. A cool place to take a walk through is the Galleria Umberto a covered shopping center filled with designer labels.

Art enthusiates will be rewarded by traveling up to Naple’s Capodimonte Museum (Museo Nazionali di Capodimonte). It is situated in a large park north of the city center. The museum is housed in an ex 18th century royal residence and contains the Farnese and Borgia art collection with its blockbuster old master paintings from Titian, Raphael, Caravaggio and more. The second floor contains the Neopolitan Gallery showing the development of art in Naples and southern Italy.

Naples Archeology Museum (Museo Archeologico Nazionale) is a must see because it has one of the world’s best collections of Greek and Roman antiquities including a collection of Roman erotica from Pompeii. Many of the objects on display came from excavations at Pompeii, Herculaneum and nearby archaeological sites. So, if you plan to an excursion to Pompeii and Herculaneum sites this museum is the starting point  for that trip.
