Naples is one of the most interesting cities in Italy, a baroque capital with magnificent buildings and churches, and known around the world for its most precious invention: pizza!
It’s less touristy than Florence, and grittier than Rome. Everywhere you visit in Naples, something will surprise you, from the smell of delicious food or coffee to the giant murals depicting the beloved footballer Maradona.
