Chronicles of Naples
Naples, founded by the Greeks in the 6th century BC, has a rich history of cultural and architectural evolution. The city's strategic location on the Bay of Naples made it a prized possession for various empires, including the Romans, who left an indelible mark on its architecture, evident in the stunning Piazza del Plebiscito and Castel dell'Ovo. The city's Baroque and Art Nouveau styles are still evident in its grand palaces and ornate churches. Naples is also famous for its vibrant street life, from the historic Quartieri Spagnoli to the trendy boutiques in Via Chiaia. Today, Naples proudly preserves its unique cultural identity, a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity.

Top Attractions in Naples
💡 Go between 10am and noon, before the tour groups pack it. Grab a sfogliatella at Pintauro on Via Toledo.
💡 Bring a picnic — there’s a small kiosk but it’s erratic. Sunset is the best time, but arrive by 4pm to claim a bench on the western side.
💡 Book online a day ahead — walk-ups often sell out by noon. Wear trainers; the tunnels are damp and uneven.
💡 Head straight to the Secret Cabinet on the mezzanine floor — a collection of erotic Roman art that’s often overlooked by casual visitors.
💡 Bring your own water — the café up there charges triple. Also check if the adjacent Certosa di San Martino is open (combined ticket €10).
