Naples

naples travel guide
Naples is the third-largest city in Italy. It is said to be the birthplace of pizza and spaghetti. While this may or may not be true, you certainly won't be disappointed by the high-quality pizzas offered for reasonable prices. Seafood is also excellent, especially in conjunction with pasta. Another specialty is sfogliatella, a pastry with ricotta cheese and candied fruit and a soft or flaky crust. Although there is extensive shopping, many of the vendors are black-market. When things are too cheap, it's usually illegal, and electronic devices are almost always a scam. Never buy electric devices from the street in Naples.

Naples is a major airport hub, and has three train stations, along with an extensive bus and ferry system. A "Giranapoli" ticket lets you use the bus, subway system, tram, and funicular for an unlimited time in the period you purchase.

Naples is the main city in the south of Italy, the capital of its home region of Campania, and the third biggest town in Italy. It's an overcrowded and sprawling metropolis holding around a million souls, with a further two million Neopolitans populating the suburbs. It's a major seaport, with shipyards, and thriving industries including iron and steel, petroleum, and porcelain.
