Napels

Everything is different in Naples. Naples, the city detested by the rest of Italy, can rightly be called the pearl of the south. The city and its inhabitants are the incarnate definition of the word passion. After your first steps at the airport or outside the door of the central station, there is only one option. You either hate her or you love her.

The city has a rich history. At the end of the eighteenth century, Naples was the cultural capital of Europe. Celebrities such as Goethe, Wagner and Oscar Wilde came to the Gulf of Naples for a pleasant stay.

Now, in the 21st century, Naples is poor, authentic, but above all honest. On the western side there is the rich boulevard where you can stroll during the balmy evenings and where you can marvel at the expensive Italian fashion in the shop windows.

To the east, behind the Mountain of God, the old center rests. Complete chaos in the characteristic small alleys with hanging laundry. Scooters speed past you left and right, people yell at each other from the balconies to drown out the loud folk music and the smell of freshly baked pizzas, fish and pastas will make you shudder with delight in the theater called Naples.

Naples, city of innumerable churches and chapels, city of football and Diego Armando Maradona, city of Vesuvius, Pompeii and beautiful sights, of the tropical Gulf of Naples with the islands of Capri, Ischia and the Amalfi Coast, but above all, the city of the unique Neapolitans.

Drink, eat, dance, sing and love in this special, a little forgotten, place at the bottom of the boot of Italy. Spending the night is no problem either, there are plenty of nice hotels in Naples.

To orientate yourself during a city walk in Naples, a good map is indispensable. You can pick up a free map at the information points of the local tourist office. However, if you want to deviate from the regular walking routes during your city trip and dive into the Neapolitan neighborhoods, you need a more detailed map. At the larger media kiosks that you can find on almost every street corner you can buy a street book for a few euros (stradario) to buy.
