In a city that is so rich in history, there are too many attractions to count, let alone squeeze into a day. Luckily, your local host will help you pack the most into your time. Perhaps you’ll view ancient churches in the old city of Naples, like the Chiesa del Gesù Nuovo and the mysterious Purgatorio ad Arco, or maybe you’ll marvel at the site of subterranean ruins of the ancient Greek city of Neapolis. You could stroll through the tranquil Villa Comunale park along the wealthy coastline, or see stores selling intricate handmade models of Christmas Nativity characters and celebrities, but if the more modern side of Naples piques your interest, trendy Chiaia is worth a visit – especially the famous pizzeria that claims to have invented the iconic Margherita! 

In the heart of Naples, you could explore Centro Storico, the historic district that’s home to hundreds of attractions (including several famous bars and pastry shops) and the place where Neapolitan nightlife is at its liveliest. Or maybe you’ll head three miles west through the elegant Chiaia area, passing chic stores and cool bars on your way to the relaxed coastal area of Mergellina (which lies just below one of the wealthiest residential districts in Naples, Posillipo Hill, with sweeping views of Mount Vesuvius). Along the way, your local insider will point out some of the best places to eat in Naples, from street food stalls to well-known pizzerias – but where you decide to stop off for lunch is totally up to you!
