What to Do in Naples: Where to Go, What to Eat, and Where to Stay

Explore underground tunnels, admire fascinating archaeological ruins, get lost in the colors of an open-air market, and eat the best pizza in the world. There's so much to do and see in Naples that a lifetime wouldn’t be enough to discover it all. Thanks to its mild climate year-round, charm, history, and delicious local specialties, Naples is the perfect destination for those looking to indulge in life’s simple pleasures. And there’s no denying it: Naples is a beauty to be lived. So, we’ve gathered some of our top tips for your first visit.

The Most Important Places to See in Naples

Naples is the capital of the Campania region, and it’s no surprise that its historic center has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For centuries, it was the capital of Southern Italy and has survived eruptions, tsunamis, earthquakes, and plagues. It’s been destroyed, conquered, and rebuilt over and over again. This rich history has shaped a unique city, and its artistic and monumental heritage reflects that in every way.

  • The Duomo and the Treasure of San Gennaro: the famous miracle of the liquefying blood has made San Gennaro one of the most important symbols of Naples. Such a revered figure could only have a cathedral dedicated to his worship. Right next to it, we recommend visiting the Museum of the Treasure of San Gennaro, which houses his necklace and mitre.
  • The San Severo Chapel: what made it famous and a must-see for tourists from all over the world is the mysterious masterpiece it holds: the Veiled Christ.
  • Maschio Angioino: also known as Castel Nuovo, this medieval and Renaissance castle is one of Naples' most iconic landmarks. Its walls have hosted the painter Giotto, the writer Giovanni Boccaccio, and the poet Francesco Petrarca.
  • Royal Palace: an architectural gem, museum, and cultural hub that majestically overlooks Piazza del Plebiscito.
  • Castel dell’Ovo: located between the neighborhoods of Chiaia and San Ferdinando, Castel dell’Ovo is the oldest castle in Naples and the most prominent building on the Gulf skyline. According to legend, its name comes from a magical egg hidden in its underground chambers by the great poet Virgil.

Unforgettable Experiences to Have in Naples

But as we all know, Naples isn’t just about squares and monuments. Its magic hides in contrasts, in the narrow alleys waiting to be discovered, in its decaying beauty, in the smiles of its people, and in the laundry hanging under the sun.

  • Naples Metro: in many cities, riding the metro means grimy seats, low ceilings, and gloomy spaces—not in Naples! Here, art, history, and architecture shine—especially at the Toledo station, filled with colorful mosaics.
  • Via San Gregorio Armeno: the street where it’s Christmas all year long! A stroll here lets you see artisans at work crafting traditional cork nativity scenes and terracotta figurines.
  • Underground Naples: a city beneath the city. Wander through streets and tunnels that form an immense network built at the end of the prehistoric era and used by the Greeks and Romans.
  • Spanish Quarters: far from the usual tourist routes, these neighborhoods offer an authentic taste of Naples, filled with artisan workshops and hidden gems serving traditional Neapolitan dishes.
  • Neapolitan Pizza: where else to taste one of the world’s best pizzas if not in Naples? Made with fresh, local ingredients, it’s an explosion of flavors and aromas.

Where to Stay for a Trip to Naples

To easily explore the historic center and enjoy a 360° view from an exclusive panoramic terrace, we recommend staying at the B&B HOTEL Napoli in Piazza Garibaldi. Overlooking the stunning natural wonders of Mount Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples, the hotel is right near the central station and just 200 meters from Piazza del Plebiscito, Castel Nuovo, Molo Beverello, and other major attractions in the city.
