Best things to do in Naples
About Naples
Sitting on the Bay of Naples, Naples has centuries of important art and architecture. The city’s cathedral, the Duomo de San Gennaro, is filled with frescoes. Other major special landmarks worth visiting are the Royal Palace and Castel Nuovo, a 13th-century castle.
However, Naples also has outdoor natural wonders worth exploring, like Posillipo, Phlegraean Fields, Nisida, and Mount Vesuvius, the still-active volcano that destroyed the nearby Roman town, Pompeii.
Naples is tied with its association with pizza, as it originated in this city. It’s worth trying the original Neapolitan pizza, typically made with tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. This style of pizza gave rise to New York-style pizza that was first made by Italian immigrants.
