Naples


Naples is the largest city in southern Italy and capital of Campania Region. The city has a population of about 1 million, and together with its suburbs, the metropolitan area has 3.7 million inhabitants. It is located just halfway between the Vesuvius and a separate volcanic area, the Campi Flegrei. Naples is where pizza originally came from. It is rich in historical, artistic and cultural traditions and gastronomy. Naples itself is less visited than some of the surrounding attractions. There are, however, many places to visit within the city. You can choose between a visit to the historical centre (Decumani), the heart of the old Naples, with its marvellous churches of Gesù Nuovo and Santa Chiara. The monumental area, with Plebiscito Square, the Royal Palace, the Galleria Umberto, the Maschio Angioino, and the Teatro San Carlo, the oldest active opera house in the world. You can have a Naples sightseeing tour around the coastline, visiting the Riviera di Chiaia, Mergellina and Posillipo, the most popular areas during Borbonic reign.
