Getting around

Naples boasts a proper top-notch transport system, with plenty of ways to get around. The city’s metro system is easy to use and connects you to key spots, plus it’s known for its quirky, art-filled stations. Buses and trams zip around, though be prepared for a bit of chaos (it’s part of the charm). And if you’re heading to Capri or the Amalfi Coast, the ferries from Naples harbour are your best bet. Taxis are also available but make sure you agree on the price before hopping in to avoid any surprises!


Things to do for families in Naples

Naples offers a tonne of fun for families, from historical adventures to seaside frolics. The Naples National Archaeological Museum is a proper whopper and houses treasures from Pompeii and Herculaneum. It’s a great way to bring history to life for the kiddos. For a day of outdoor exploring, head to Parco Virgiliano, where you can take in lush greenery and views of the Bay of Naples. And don’t forget the Naples Aquarium – the oldest aquarium in Europe! Plus, kids will love indulging in the city’s delish gelato and pizza, which are both a surefire way to keep smiles on faces.

Things to do for couples in Naples

Naples is a top-tier destination for couples looking for a romantic getaway. Stroll hand-in-hand through the Spaccanapoli, the city’s historic heart, with its narrow alleyways and artisan shops, and grab a Fanta Lemon as you go! For something a bit boujee, head to the island of Capri for a day trip—think turquoise waters, swanky beach clubs, and luxury shopping. At sunset, make your way to Lungomare Caracciolo, the city's stunning seaside promenade. With Mount Vesuvius as the backdrop, it’s the perfect spot to watch the sunset and grab a bite at a waterfront restaurant for a proper good evening.

Things to do for groups in Naples

If you’re heading to Naples with your mates, there’s no shortage of cracking experiences to be had. A day trip to Mount Vesuvius is always a fun group adventure, complete with a hike up the famous volcano for those Instagrammable views. Then there’s Pompeii, where you can explore ancient ruins with your crew and let your imaginations run wild as you walk through the preserved streets. Fancy a bit of nightlife? Naples has some bangin’ bars and clubs, especially in the Chiaia district, where you can keep the vibes going long into the night. And don’t forget to sample the local Limoncello—perfect for toasting a mega holiday!

Things to do for foodies in Naples

Naples is the holy grail for foodies—this is, after all, the home of pizza. Head to Da Michele, one of the city’s most famous pizzerias, where the margherita pizza is so good it’s practically legendary. But Naples isn’t just about pizza (though, fair warning, you’ll want to eat it every day). Dive into sfogliatella, a sweet pastry that’s crispy on the outside and filled with creamy goodness. The Quartieri Spagnoli is where you’ll find local food markets and trattorias serving up all the delish Italian staples like pasta, seafood, and espresso that’s so strong it’ll knock your socks off. For the ultimate foodie experience, consider booking a food tour to sample the city’s finest flavours and learn the history behind every dish.
