Welcome to Napoli

A moated Angevin-Aragonese fortress guarding Naples' port, famed for its gleaming Renaissance triumphal arch and the hall where a king once trapped his rebellious barons.

One of the world's great archaeology collections, uniting the Farnese Marbles with treasures pulled from the ashes of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Home to Giuseppe Sanmartino's astonishing Veiled Christ, an 18th-century marble masterpiece so lifelike it still baffles visitors today.

A narrow lane in the heart of old Naples lined year-round with workshops crafting nativity figurines, a tradition rooted in a Roman temple that once stood on this very spot.

Naples' grandest historic café, opened in 1860 opposite Piazza del Plebiscito, its gilded, mirror-lined rooms once frequented by Oscar Wilde, Gabriele D'Annunzio and Ernest Hemingway.

A no-frills institution near Piazza Garibaldi serving only two pizzas since 1870, its queue snaking down Via Cesare Sersale at every mealtime.

A pizzaiolo dynasty's flagship on Via dei Tribunali, trading at the same address since 1935 and now one of the most photographed queues in Naples.

Naples' 1.2km pedestrian spine, laid out in 1536 by the Spanish viceroy it's named for, lined end to end with flagship stores, historic shops and cafés.

Naples' oldest open-air market, threading through the Quartieri Spagnoli since the 16th century with fish, produce and street food stalls under a jumble of awnings.
