Visiting Naples - What to See and Do

(Naples Capodichino International Airport NAP, Italy)




Beautiful Naples is one of Italy's top visitor destinations for a number of good reasons. The city's incredibly rich history is reflected in the fabric of its architecture and the city is crammed with wonderful churches, stunning palaces, castles and other fine buildings, making Naples a feast for the eyes.

The city's enviable waterfront location and surrounding mountain scenery add to the aesthetic appeal of Naples.

The city of Naples is a great starting point for trips to the lovely islands of Ischia, Capri and Procida, not to mention the world-famous ruins of Pompeii. Historic attractions, architecture and scenery aside, the restaurants in Naples are worth travelling for alone. Neapolitan food is an art form and the city's restaurants serve delicious traditional cuisine using the freshest local ingredients from land and sea.
