Italy through its cities
Every city has its own rhythm, its own streets and its own feeling of home.
Naples
Naples brings a wide sea horizon together with the dense life of its historic centre. Layers of history, art and a strong food tradition belong to the street as much as to monuments. Daily rituals are part of discovering the city.
Places to start with
Piazza del Plebiscito
Between the waterfront and Via Toledo, this broad square is framed by the Royal Palace and San Francesco di Paola basilica with its semicircular colonnade.
Castel dell'Ovo
The fortress stands on the ancient islet of Megaride beside the seafront. Its silhouette and neighbouring Borgo Marinari connect the city walk with the open gulf.
San Gregorio Armeno
Nativity-scene workshops keep a local craft tradition alive. Alongside biblical characters, artisans make figures of contemporary celebrities; the monastery of the same name is nearby.
San Carlo Theatre
Opened in 1737, the theatre stands near Piazza del Plebiscito. Its history is intertwined with opera, ballet and musicians who shaped Naples' cultural life.
From Via Toledo to the city's flavours
Continue from Piazza del Plebiscito along Via Toledo. Leave time for Neapolitan food: pizza, sfogliatella or rum babà, followed by coffee. The art-filled metro stations, including Toledo, offer another way to explore the city.
