Naples

Between Mount Vesuvius and the Phlegraean Fields of Italy lies the fair city of Naples. Known throughout history for it's culture, music, art, and cuisine and notorious for it's pollution, violence, and organized crime, Naples embodies the sensual beauty as well as the dark underbelly of Italian culture.

A city that rests in the shadow of an active volcano may inspire its citizens to live as though there is no tomorrow, and that is precisely what visitors to Naples can expect. Busy streets bustling with caffeine infused chaos, rowdy marketplaces, anarchic neighborhoods swimming in debris harmonize into a purposeful symphony. Those who are drawn to this exciting and well organized system of disorder will enjoy their experience in Naples.

The distinct richness of Neapolitan cuisine is beloved the world over and many credit Naples with creating spaghetti, pizza, and gelato. For those unwilling to miss sampling the best pizza in the world, try Da Michele, Il Pizzaiolo del Presidente, or Brandi. For those willing to splurge, the seafare available in Naples is fresh, artfully prepared and establishments serving fresh fish or available throughout the city.

Naples has many beautiful and ancient architectural monuments throughout the city. Tourists are strongly recommended to take in the sights located within the city by way of a guided tour to avoid accidentally venturing into the wrong area. Excursions out of the city into the surrounding areas will make your stay unforgettable. Some of the favorites include tours of the ruins of Pompeii, trips to the islands of Capri, Ischia, and Procida, or sojourns down the stunning Amalfi coast.
