Naples is the capital of the Campania region in Italy as well as the largest city in Southern Italy. Well known all over the world, this vivacious city is famous for music and opera, Mount Vesuvius and their delicious cuisine. Did you know that pizza was invented right here in the city of Naples? You can even find pizzerias which serve only two types, because they want to maintain the originality: Margherita and Marinara. Both of which are kept simple with sauce, cheese and a bit of oregano on top!
The Campania region cradles the Bay of Naples and makes for a beautiful and natural setting. A warm and sunny climate, tons of historic sights and elegant hotels all make the area around Naples a wealthy tourist destination! Summertime in Naples is extremely hot and overcrowded, and is not the best time for sightseeing. Take a trip in the spring or autumn when the weather is sunny and warm, without many other tourists.
Many travel to this city to visit the runs of Pompeii and Herculaneum, which were destroyed in an eruption of Mount Vesuvious. Via Toledo is one of the main business and shopping streets that you won't want to miss during your visit, as well as SpaccaNapoli (meaning literally Split Naples), another main street buzzing with people, where many interesting shops, churches and historic buildings can be found.
