Neapolitans will tell you — loudly, with hand gestures — that everything good in Italy started here, beginning with pizza. Eat it folded like a local, learn to cross the street with conviction, and save room for sfogliatella.
Naples is southern Italy at full volume — laundry strung over baroque alleys, the world's original pizza ovens, and Mount Vesuvius looming across the bay. The city is the natural base for day trips to Pompeii and the Greek temples of Paestum, private wine tours into the Irpinia hills with a sommelier, and hands-on cooking classes. Football fans can join an SSC Napoli match-day experience with a local, and the kayak-friendly coastline delivers eco adventures between the sights.
