Naples is one of my favorite places in Italy — and the world. This wild and fascinating city is chaotic, affordable and friendly. I can’t get enough of it, and I’m always thinking about my next visit.
There are so many cool things to do in Naples Italy, no matter what kind of traveler you are. (Honestly, if you did nothing but eat pizza the entire time, I would get it! It’s that good!)

Naples is incredible, and I can’t wait to show you the best of the city Italians call Napoli.

There are so many excellent pizza places throughout Naples, and they are all cheap. Honestly, if you’re paying more than six euros for a pizza in a casual spot in Naples, you’re getting ripped off. Usually you’ll pay closer to four euros for a pizza the size of your head. (It’s more expensive at more high-end spots, though. Like eight euros for a margherita.)
So where should you go? Two of my favorite places for pizza in Italy are also two of the most famous: L’antica Pizzeria Da Michele and Sorbillo.
Da Michele is the famous pizzeria from Eat, Pray, Love, whose identity writer…
